Back to UNC Cortical Thickness Roadmap


Objective

We would like to create an end-to-end application within Slicer3 allowing individual and group analysis of regional cortical thickness.

Pipeline description (steps)

Input: T1-weighted image

  • 1. Tissue segmentation
    • Tool: itkEMS (UNC Slicer3 external module)
  • 2. Skull stripping
    • Tool: SegPostProcess (UNC Slicer3 external module)
  • 3. Deformable registration of pediatric regional atlas
    • 3.1 Deformable registration of T1-weighted pediatric atlas
      • Tool: RegisterImages (Slicer3 module)
    • 3.2. Applying transformation to the parcellation map
      • Tool: ResampleVolume2 (Slicer3 module)
  • 4. Cortical Thickness
    • Tool: CortThick (UNC Slicer3 module)


Usage (Command Line)

Input:

  • 1. Tissue segmentation
  • 2. Skull stripping
  • 3. Deformable registration of pediatric regional atlas
    • 3.1 Deformable registration of T1-weighted pediatric atlas
    • 3.2. Applying transformation to the parcellation map
  • 4. Cortical Thickness


Analysis on a small pediatric dataset

In progress

  • Workflow for individual analysis

Future work

  • UNC Slicer3 external modules available on NITRIC
  • Workflow for group analysis
