<h3>Progress</h3>
Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the [[NA-MIC/Projects/Diffusion_Image_Analysis/DTI_Software_and_Algorithm_Infrastructure|DTI Software Infrastructure]] project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.

Objective

We are determining which methods of registration in slicer (and other tools) work best for registration of various types of volumes. Our focus is currently on registering data from structural to DTI space.



Approach, Plan

We're going through each type of registration and registration pipeline in Slicer 3 with a specific image to test which methods give the best results. We are also performing comparisons with FSL's FLIRT and FNIRT tools.

Progress

Some of Slicer 3's registration works ok, but it currently has no good way to register from structural to DTI, and no way to apply a similar transform to a label map from structural space. Currently we must use FSL tools to accomplish this. Luis Ibanez has been helping us with developing tools outside of Slicer that seem to be performing well.
