Notes

• Dave Tuch & C-F Westin have a math-oriented workshop on the Monday morning of the Programmer's week
• ISMRM has a strong DTI / DW / tractography focus, ripe for NAMIC dissemation
• Tina gave update on cross-center software activities, Bill has been participating
• NAMIC is already participating in cross-center activities with CCB and Simbios, which is an all-round (around?) win.
• DTI validation was brought up at ISMRM w/Greg Sorensen, Tina / Dan will follow-up with Ron
• Slicer 3 discussion
  • Adopting client-server a la Paraview
  • Which toolkit / language to use? Paraview, Swing, SWT, JFace, FLTK, Qt, ??
  • Need to keep an eye on scripting languages bundled in
  • Would like to be able to revamp GUI regularly to "modernize" the look and feel
  • GUI is critical to acceptance by the clinicians, our tools need to be good.
