  • 37 papers received
  • Luis explained the review methods and process
  • Authors can remove their papers
  • All papers submitted on or before august 3 are available in google

• Tensor Registration (Alex)
  • Working on registration in slicer using ITK
  • Have rigid and affine methods, next is step is deformable methods and tensor to tensor registration
  • We need new tensor metrics and interpolators in ITK

• Steve described Colinux, which is free and faster than VMware
