Slicer4 Diffusion tutorial

Feb.14 Diffusion meeting - Sonia's reports on the DTI modules of the current Slicer4 release:

• Mantis Bug Reports:
  • Brain Mask (assigned to Demian, checked it out. It seems that it is a limitation of the Otsu strategy in this case due to the lack of padding, probably we need a real brain extraction tool)
  • Color by Orientation (assigned to Demian, fixed)
  • Glyphs Visualization (assigned to Alex, fixed)
  • Fiducials Seeding (assigned to Alex, fixed)
  • Consistency of the GUI in the labelmap and fiducial seeding modules (assigned to Alex, fixed)
  • Scalar Measurement computation issue (Planar measure) : wrong window and level values in the Volumes module (assigned to Demian, fixed)
  • Scalar measurement update issue] (fixed by Julien Finet)

• Suggested Reorganization of the Diffusion menu (assigned to Demian, Done)
  • Diffusion Data Conversion:
    • DICOM to Nrrd
    • DTIimport/export
  • DWI:
    • Brain Mask
    • Tensor Estimation
    • Denoising
  • DTI
    • Scalar Measurements
    • Tractography
    • Resample

• DicomToNrrdConverter should be DICOM To NRRD Converter, and make the parameters of the Output sections visible on the GUI (assigned to Demian, done)
• Slicer crashes when saving the DTI tutorial Scene on Mac (assigned to Steve)

• Tutorial dataset: Slicer4 DTI dataset
• Suggested dead-line March 12, 2012 ( preparation for the Iowa Workshop March 20-21)
