DTI Meeting Minutes - 4/12/06

Present: Doug, Gudrun, Marc, Mark, KangUk, Sylvain, Marek, CF, Gordon, Katharina, Jenny


Tensor Registration

  • Slicer-nightly gives wrong results in tensor registration module; Kang Uk will talk to Matthan about correcting this


DTI data converted to NRRD

  • Mark is working on converting all of our diffusion data to NRRD format. So far coronal data has been converted, and is now stored in /caseDXX/coronal_nhdr/ . The volumes stored are DWI, T2W, and FIL, and all need to be read using slicer2-nightly.


Scalar Measures/Negative Eigenvalues

  • After data is converted to NRRD, we will test cases again to see if scalar measures are consistent.
