Regional cortical thickness analysis on white matter surface
Regional cortical thickness analysis on grey matter surface



Key Investigators

  • UNC: Clement Vachet, Martin Styner, Heather Cody Hazlett, Marc Niethammer, Ipek Oguz
  • GE: Jim Miller


Objective

We are developing an end-to-end application within Slicer3 allowing individual and group analysis of local cortical thickness.

Such a workflow applied to the young brain (2-4 years old) is our goal in order to start a longitudinal study of early brain development in autism (UNC DBP).

See our Roadmap for more details.

Approach, Plan

Our plan for the project week is to improve the pipeline and focus on the following steps:

  • Mesh inflation with mesh correction
  • Inflated mesh correspondence using particle systems

We will perform the analysis on a small dataset.

Progress
