White Matter Laterality/Asymmetry Measurement

Key Investigators

  • Harvard Medical School: Lauren O'Donnell


Objective

  1. Fast computation of white matter
    fiber tract laterality indices
    in python and ... Slicer4

Approach, Plan

  1. So far have preliminary code running in python/vtk
    Slicer-ification is goal for this week
    Another goal: learn how to make an extension module
    Another goal: can this module use testing framework

Progress

This method totally rocks

Delivery Mechanism

This work will be delivered to the NAMIC Kit as a

  1. NITRIC distribution
  2. Slicer Module
    1. Built-in:
    2. Extension -- commandline:
    3. Extension -- loadable:
