Objective
The goal of this project is to develop a command line module for slicer 3 to resample DT images. This module is compatible with several ITK 3D transforms (rigid, affine and non-rigid). These transforms can be pass as an ITKTransformFile using the command line, or directly as a transform in Slicer3. It also allows change the spacing, the orientation, the size or the origin of the image. This module implements different diffusion tensor interpolations and the structure of the program makes it easy to add new interpolations or new transformations.
Approach, Plan
Our approach is to build the ITK infrastructure (ITK diffusion tensor interpolators and ITK diffusion tensor transforms) to support this module. Our main purpose at the Project Week is to implement a non-rigid transform for diffusion tensor images.
Progress
Jan 2008 Project Week
The project week allowed to integrate the module into Slicer3. It is now available in Slicer3 TransformIO branch. The support of the non-rigid transforms has been added. The list of the currently supported transforms is the following:
- Rigid3D
- Affine - Finite Strain
- Affine - Preservation of Principal Direction
- Non-rigid transforms (not tested yet)
Several blockwise diffusion tensor interpolations are also available:
- Nearest Neighborhood
- Linear
- BSpline
The next step is to implement new interpolations (ie separating the shape and the orientation of the tensors).
