2013 Summer Project Week:SlicerIGT Extension

• 

  Projects List

• 

  Scatter plot of the original FA data through the genu of the corpus callosum of a normal brain.

• 

  Regression of FA data; solid line represents the mean and dotted lines the standard deviation.

Key Investigators

• Queen's: Tamas Ungi
• BWH: Junichi Tokuda, Laurent Chauvin

Objective

Consolidate the SlicerIGT extension.

• Make sure everything compiles on every platform.
• Every module has documentation, and some example use cases or tests.
• Discuss how to present individual contribution and collaboration at the same time (meeting with PIs).
• Coordinate plans between groups.

Approach, Plan

Progress

Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the DTI Software Infrastructure project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.
