Key Investigators

  • Iowa: Vincent Magnotta and Nicole Grosland
  • Kitware: Stephen Alyward

Objective

Conversion of the Iowa Neural netwok segmentation using a flexible module for image registration supporting all ITK transforms written using the transform I/O in ITK. Conversion to the ITK neural network from the current annie implementation may also be

Approach, Plan

Our approach for analyzing diffusion tensors is summarized in the IPMI 2007 reference below. The main challenge to this approach is <foo>.

Our plan for the project week is to first try out <bar>,...

Progress

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.
