Project: Angular smoothing and interpolation of diffusion weighted MR images

Goals:

1. Develop an ITK filter to smooth and interpolate DW MR measurements angularly;
2. Test and validate the method by using slicer on the smoothed and interpolated datasets.

Current Status:

1. Partially implemented in ITK, as a stand-alone program.

Test Data:

1. Dartmouth diffusion weighted images (2-baseline 12-diffusion-weighed images)
2. A better angular resolution (30 directions) DW adataset from Johns Hopkins

Team Members:

• Xiaodong Tao, GE
• Dennis Jen, MGH
