2009 Summer Project Week Spherical Mesh Diffeomorphic Demons Registration
Key Investigators
- MIT: Thomas Yeo, Polina Goland
- Kitware: Luis Ibanez, Michel Audette
Objective
We are porting to ITK the spherical mesh registration method described in the paper "http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Projects:SphericalDemons"
Approach, Plan
The Spherical Diffeomorphic Demons method is described in detail in the paper http://people.csail.mit.edu/ythomas/publications/2008SphericalDemons-Draft.pdf.
Our plan for the project includes
Progress
Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the DTI Software Infrastructure project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.
