| − | <h1>Objective</h1>
| |
| − | We have developed a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography method based on Navier-Stokes fluid mechanics. The goal of this project is to make our method compatible with NA-MIC ITK-based software infrastructure in order facilitate its dissemination to the scientific community.

| |
| − | <h1>Approach, Plan </h1>
| |
| − | The details of our method is given in the paper listed in the reference section. Our approach will focus on working with NA-MIC members and collaborators to successfully reimplement our method in a NA-MIC ITK compatible form. Our plan for the project week is to introduce the basics of our method to the NA-MIC community and make progress in converting our code to a compatible form.

| |
| − | We have made progress in converting our DTI analysis code to work in the ITK/vTK environment. We have created modules for
| |
| − | *reconstruction of the diffusion tensor and computation of common DTI scalar volumes (FA, LI, RGB)
| |
| − | *computation of fluid velocity vector field volume
| |
| − | *reconstruction of tracts based on the above fluid velocity volume
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Current work is focusing on optimizing the code for the above modules and integrating them as tools in NAMIC's Slicer software environment.
