Notes from Meeting
DBP Updates
- Iowa: Martin S is the point of contact. Several visits have been exchanged. The engineer is working with Iowa/UNC. Data sets are available for structural and DTI. The goal is to predict time of onset of symptoms from imaging biomarkers. Functional data is not yet available but will be requested.
- Utah: Data is not yet available. Discussions of open technical problems include: segmentation of blood pool and fibrosis, registration of surfaces to probe-generated point sets, and longitudinal registration of multiple MRIs. Action item: Ross will discuss with Rob getting the data and getting an engineer on board. Ross will facilitate exchange of code data between CARMA group and Polina's group for blood pool segmentation.
- UCLA: Data is available, but there was some question about where it would be hosted and how. The emphasis is on a set of manually driven tools for quickly outlining or annotating regions of interest and being able to compare compare subjects at multiple time points with different modalities.
- Harvard: Greg S is the engineer and is actively engaged. The challenge appears to be a great deal of variability in deformation/geometry, even between different scans of the same patient. The agreement is that Greg S will grab (from a very large archive) several dozen cases that include longitudinal scans, and this will be made available to NAMIC C1a.
