Engineering:TCON 2007

Back to TCON:Main

2007-03-15

Agenda:

• Heads up: 2007 Progress Report. Recommendations needed from Ron on section/theme leads.
• Dissemination and Outreach for the rest of us (Will, Tina)
• DBP2 Points of Contact (DBP, Engineering, Algorithm) DBP2. Need contact information for DBP2s. Algorithm contact points still need to be added.
• Performance analysis tools and strategies: ITK_Registration_Optimization, Slicer3:Performance_Analysis (Steve Pieper, Sebastian Barre, Stephen Aylward, Katie Hayes)

2007-03-08

Agenda:

• Question from Steve: best way to handle "neurological" analyze files (where right-is-right unlike radiological files where "left -is-right"). The oaisis brains data collection from mBIRN stores their data this way and the ITK IO factory doesn't have a way to know which kind of file these are.
• Python in Slicer - project overview: Dan
• Google Summer of Code - are there any project takers?

Notes:

• Update - it turns out oasis-brains.org analyze files are stored in radiological convention but displayed in neurological convention, so everything is as 'correct' as it can be for this file format. But the ambiguity remains about the real meaning of analyze files, so in the future oasis will supply nifti formated files.

No tcon this week. AHM_2007 in progress.

2007-01-04

Agenda and Highlights:

• Project Half-Week Activities - Focus on Slicer3 Projects. And any others that need resolution of title/team. 4-blocks should appear asap. Each project lead will use these to introduce their project on Wednesday, Jan 10th.
• There are pages in google cache that are not yet on the namic-wiki. What is the process for pulling those in? Should each person who finds a page just cut and paste the text as best as they can? How should we use the "wanted pages" list on the wiki?

Highlights:

• Slicer3 Projects have been added to the wiki.
• Wanted page list is being pared down as a high priority item,.
• Jim and Bill will be on Daniel Goldberg's project half week project.
