2011 Summer Project Week re-parameterize fiber

• 

  Projects List

• 

  P value of changes in diffusion properties visualized along fiber tracts

Full Title of Project

Key Investigators

• UNC-Chapel Hill: Yundi Shi, Benjamin Yvernault, Clement Vachet, Martin Styner
• University of Utah: Anuja Sharma

Objective

The dti_tract_stats tool is a command line tool developed to provide statistical information of white matter diffusion properties along fiber tracts, and therefore complements geometric information obtained by tractography with white matter integrity measurements. It calculates statistics on parametrized fiber tract data, represented as sets of streamlines. The goal of this project week is to add the functionality of 1) re-parametrizing fibers that allows visualizing further generated statistics along the stream lines. 2) Make the tool compatible with Slicer using GenerateCLP

Approach, Plan

• Add functionality to the original source code
• Make the tool Slicer compatible
• Use the tool for primate dataset
