Group defined a need to work on QC methodology for data quality checking, to be run within Slicer-3 but maybe also as a stand-alone command-line as part of the data conversion and correction pipelines.

  • Monday 24
  • Kick-off presentations and definition of open issues to be discussed. Main theme: a) Putting modules into workflow pipelines, running such pipelines on a large number of datasets using a batch processing and eventually grid capabilities. b) New methods from the Utah groups to be integrated into Slicer-3. Presentations by different groups on:
    • Slicer-3 architecture
    • Segmentation
    • DTI analysis
    • Shape analysis
  • Tuesday 25: Topics discussed in details:
    • Dicom to nrrd conversion, in particular with DWI data with different coordinate systems, gradient direction schemes, variable b-values and more. Agreed to run a "hard test" by taking new Siemens mosaic-format, multiple b-value DICOM data (Core-3 UNC autism project) and testing the existing conversion tool.
