Objective
Our objective is to finalize the integration of Two-Tensor Tractography into Slicer and to test it on diverse DWI datasets. Furthermore the optimal parameter settings to run the algorithm needs to be investigated.
Approach, Plan
We are integrating the Two-Tensor Streamline Tractography into Slicer. The complete details on the method are summarized in [1]. Our approach for this project week will focus on the following:
The implementation of our project is carried out in Python. The Two-Tensor Tractography calls are already implemented in the Teem library and can be accessed using the Python wrappings for the Teem.
