2010 Winter Project Week MultiscaleLupusAnalyses
DTI Tracts passing near or through lesions
Zoomed in on a lesion (red volume)
Key Investigators
- MRN: Mark Scully, Jeremy Bockholt
- BWH: Steve Pieper
Objective
To combine the multiple types of available neuroimaging data in to a multiscale analysis of a lupus patient. Perform a multiscale analysis using sMR, DWI, ASL, and an fMR rest task on a lupus patient
Approach, Plan
Use various existing NAMIC analysis pipelines to process each type of neuroimaging data and then combine all resulting features into a single statistical analysis.
Implement any functionality that doesn't currently exist in the NAMIC kit.
Progress
1. Experimented with multiple DWI pipelines and started processing data using GTRACT
2. Implemented a module to perform cross-correlation of the signals created by averaging all voxels within an anatomical region per TR using a rest task during fMRI.
3. Examine multiple projects such as the Cortical Thickness and Stochastic Tractography modules and apply to our test data.
4. Perform a simple statistical analysis of the resulting features.
