Key Investigators
- BWH: Ion-Florin Talos, Michael Halle, Wendy Plesniak
- GE: Jim Miller
Objective
To explore ways of linking the image data of the SPL multi-modal brain atlas (label maps, 3D-models) with ontological information on brain morphology and function
Approach, Plan
- continue work on XML-based intermediate data representation that supports anatomical hierarchies and can describe arbitrary overlapping image regions
- application integration of the new XML-based data representation (3D-Slicer)
- discussion of automated testing for atlas segmentation
- discussion of integration of FMA with atlas
Progress
