2008 Winter Project Week:Cortical Thickness

Key Investigators

Objective
We would like to create an end-to-end application within Slicer3 allowing individual and group analysis of regional and local cortical thickness.
Such a workflow applied to the young brain (2-4 years old) is our goal in order to start a longitudinal study of early brain development in autism.
See our Roadmap for more details.
Approach, Plan
Our plan during this week is to use several Slicer3 modules, and apply them on our pediatric data.
We would like to apply EMSegment to segment our pediatric data using our own atlas and compare it whith a segmentation tool (itkEMS) developped in our lab.
We would also like to use the new B-spline registration module and apply it to our pediatric data (atlas to data registration with the use of the related transformation)
Progress
Attended:
- EMSegment breakout session
- Registration breakout session
We have learnt how to use the new EMSegment module.
We have successfully run the module using the tutorial template-data.
We need to run it using our own pediatric atlas-data.
