DBP3:Iowa
Engineering Action Plan
Contents
Morphometric Processing
Goals: Have all the documentation and code in place for BRAINS3 to easily be used by the community.
DTI Processing
Goals: Tools for a longitudinal analysis pipeline of changes measured by fiber tractography to identify white matter tracts that have strong co-morbid degenerative timelines compared to subcortical degeneration over time. Enable the use of the advanced DTI processing in NA-MIC within PREDICT HD. Specifically, adapt all NA-MIC tools to work as individual external Slicer modules (in part they already exist, but need further work), as well as combine them into a single Slicer DTI processing wizard.
Shape Analysis
Goals: Tools for a longitudinal shape analysis pipeline to identify localized changes in basal ganglia tracts that have strong co-morbid degenerative timelines. Enable the use of the advanced SPHARM & particle shape analysis processing in NA-MIC within PREDICT HD.
BatchMake Processing and Grid Wizard
Goals: Create a distributed batch processing pipeline that pulls data from and reports data to XNAT while distributing jobs across a cluster.
Data
Goals: Share a meaningful, fully anonymized subset of the sMRI, fMRI, and DWI Huntington's data.
Outreach
Goals: Inform community of the existence of tools and data sets as well as train them on their use.
