  • P value of changes in diffusion properties visualized along fiber tracts

Full Title of Project

  • UNC-Chapel Hill: Yundi(Wendy) Shi, Clement Vachet, Benjamin Yvernault, Martin Styner
  • University of Utah: Anuja Sharma

Objective

The dti_tract_stats tool is a command line tool developed to provide statistical information of white matter diffusion properties along fiber tracts, and therefore complements geometric information obtained by tractography with white matter integrity measurements. It calculates statistics on parametrized fiber tract data, represented as sets of streamlines. The goal of this project week is to add the functionality of 1) re-parametrizing fibers that allows visualizing further generated statistics along the stream lines. 2) Make the tool compatible with Slicer using GenerateCLP

Approach, Plan

  • Add functionality to the original source code
  • Make the tool Slicer compatible
  • Use the tool for primate dataset

Progress

  • Bugs are fixed in the tool and GenerateCLP is used to make it a slicer command line module
  • Code is committed to the svn repository on NITRC
  • The tool has the functions now to sample a fiber file (vtk) and generate a profile of FA/MD/AD/RD/l2/l3/GA/FRO along the fibers with different noise model (Gaussian or Beta). Sampling step size and kernel size used in the noise model could be changed.

    available arc length range (default: -1)

  --step_size <double>
    Step size used for sampling the fiber file. It needs to be larger than
    0.1 (default: 1)

  --image_space
    The fiber file is in default in world coordinate space.  This argument
    changes it to image space (default: 0)

  --window_file <std::string>
