Objective

• Combining structural and DTI information for assessment of recovery and treatment efficacy for TBI.
• Coregistration of structural and DTI data of TBI.
• Applying 4D model to DTI data to investigate the changes between acute and chronic time points.

Approach, Plan

• Register DTI to structural images.
• Apply deformation between acute and chronic time points to the co-registered DTI images
• Evaluate initial result with our collaborators

Progress

• using Slicer registration modules to do coregistration.
  • tried affine, Bspline, demons registration modules
• worked with Andrei and Anuja together to solve the problem of loading DICOM images
• discussed the Andrei and Micah about current statuse
• attended the TBI DBP Team Meeting
