2009 Summer Project Week Hageman DTIDigitalPhantom

Project Week Main Page

Web service for DWI phantom generator hosted by UCLA

Form used by web service to generate phantom DWI dataset

Key Investigators

• UCLA: Nathan Hageman
• UCLA: Arthur Toga, Ph.D

Objective

We have created a program that will generate a DWI dataset based on a single or double helix ground truth that simulates a white matter tract. The user is free to specify desired dimensions, experimental parameters, and level of Rician or Gaussian noise in the final dataset. We will host this program via a webservice from the Laboratory of Neuroimaging at UCLA.
