Home < 2008 Engineering review at Utah:Summary
- Monday 24
- Kick-off presentations and definition of open issues to be discussed. Main theme: a) Putting modules into workflow pipelines, running such pipelines on a large number of datasets using a batch processing and eventually grid capabilities. b) New methods from the Utah groups to be integrated into Slicer-3. Presentations by different groups on:
- Slicer-3 architecture
- Segmentation
- DTI analysis
- Shape analysis
- Tuesday 25: Topics discussed in details:
- Dicom to nrrd conversion, in particular with DWI data with different coordinate systems, gradient direction schemes, variable b-values and more. Agreed to run a "hard test" by taking new Siemens mosaic-format, multiple b-value DICOM data (Core-3 UNC autism project) and testing the existing conversion tool.
- Quality control, Validation: Discussion of need to QC the nrrd DTI data (conversion correct?, tensors in correct orientation?, outlier detection?, artifact detection?). Group defined a need to work on QC methodology for data quality checking, to be run within Slicer-3 but maybe also as a stand-alone command-line as part of the data conversion and correction pipelines.
