Objective
We are developing methods for analyzing diffusion tensor data along fiber tracts. The goal is to be able to make statistical group comparisons with fiber tracts as a common reference frame for comparison.
Approaches and Challenges
Our approach for analyzing diffusion tensors is summarized in the IPMI 2007 reference below. The main challenge to this approach is <foo>.

This is where you put in progress made in Project Week 2007.
January 2007
Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the DTI Software Infrastructure project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.

The Linux Foundation
The Linux Foundation is a nonprofit consortium dedicated to fostering the growth of Linux. The Linux Foundation promotes, protects and standardizes Linux by providing unified resources and services needed for open source to successfully compete with closed platforms.
Technical Collaboration
The Linux Standard Base and its certification and testing programs deliver interoperability between applications and the Linux platform. The Linux Foundation also hosts a number of technical workgroups that are solving key issues facing Linux including printing, accessibility, desktop interfaces and application packaging.
Protection and Promotion
The Linux Foundation protects the future of Linux by employing key Linux developers like Linus Torvalds so they can maintain independence while working full time to improve Linux. The LF also offers legal protection services for developers to safeguard the future of Linux.
