<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

Julien has kindly updated his stochastic tractography algorithm in the Python Stochastic Tractography module in Slicer 3.5. It needs to be tested and verified as working.

Andrew is currently updating the tutorial for this new method. Current progress can be found here: File:Stochastic Jan09.ppt
