Using an exemplar case that has already been processed using non-NAMIC kit tools:

1. Use existing NA-MIC kit to coregister T1, T2, Flair, CBV, CBF, and MTT
2. Use the EM Segment in slicer 2-3.X to classify grey, white, csf, and white matter lesion
3. Summarize the volume and location of lesions
4. Measure the intensity of co-registered CBV, CBF, and MTT images within lesion and meaningful non-lesion regions of the brain
5. If time permits, co-register DTI data and generate scalars such as FA, MD, RD, and AD
6. If time permits, measure DTI scalars within normal white matter and within white matter lesions.
