Name of Template project goes here

Our objective is to extend the power of Slicer3 by integrating the Teem libraries and command-line tools (e.g. "unu").

Description

Teem has been under active development since 1998, and was partially funded by NAC, a collaborating project, in 2004-2006. The Teem training and dissemination efforts have leveraged the infrastructure setup by NA-MIC.
The NRRD file format (from Teem) is the basis of the NA-MIC DWI format.
A dashboard has been set up to monitor compiler warnings and errors on a range of operating systems, platforms and compilers.
Starting with Slicer 2.6, Teem is included and built with Slicer. Slicer can now link with the Teem libraries, and the command-line tools are accessible from Slicer's "tkcon" window.
3x3 tensor eigensolutions in Slicer are now based on Teem.
A Slicer GUI was built around Teem's tractography method to permit detailed comparison and cross-validation with Slicer's existing tractography method.
The April 2006 Training Workshop at NIH included a section on using the "unu" and "tend" command-line tools to help import DWI and DTI into slicer.

Teem has been ported to the Slicer3 infrastructure and is being used as part of the Slicer3 DTI effort through the vtkTeem library, which support use of Teem I/O libraries (nrrd) and also numerical support for filtering, tractography, and analysis.
