Objective

Analysing Diffusion Tensor Images (DTI) require some specific tools to

• Quality control Diffusion Weighted Images (DTIPrep)
• Provide tools to compute and process DTI (DTIProcess)
• Create an average DTI image from a set of images (DTIAtlasBuilder)
• Visualize and edit tracted fibers (FiberViewerLight)
• Analyze tracts (DTIAtlasFiberAnalyzer)

The goal of this project is to develop Slicer4 extensions providing those tools and verify that they correctly perform on all available platforms.

Approach, Plan

• Some extensions already work on all the plateform for Slicer4.3.1 but not the latest revision
• Create launchers to start modules with Qt GUI on Windows and MacOS
• Verify that Qt windows appear on top of the main Slicer window when the extension is started
• Correct and update packaging process (DTIAtlasBuilder and DTIPrep)
• Verify that the tools run and give the expected results

Progress

• DTIProcess, FiberViewerLight and DTIAtlasFiberAnalyzer build and package for Linux, Mac and Windows, both for Slicer4.3.1 and the current nightly
• DTIAtlasBuilder and DTIPrep build and package for Mac and Linux for Slicer4.3.1 the current nightly
