2011 Winter Project Week:FreeWaterElimination

• 

  Projects List

Key Investigators

• BWH: Ofer Pasternak, Deminan Wassermann, C-F Westin

Objective

To implement free water elimination for diffusion data in Slicer3.

Approach, Plan

Our approach: Modify existing Matlab code to Python and then include as a Slicer module.

Our plan for the project week is: 1) Review the matlab code 2) Determine the input and output for the module 3) Discuss ways of converting matlab code to python 4) Convert the code to python 5) Include in Slicer3.
