= Introduction =

* History: During MICCAI we (Ron Kikinis, Guido Gerig, Ross Whitaker, Polina Golland, Jim Miller, Tina Kapur, Martin Styner) discussed plans for the current year of NA-MIC. Given that this is the last year for the current participants in Core 3, we need to plan specific activities.
* We will have an information exchange between Core 1 and Core 3 to discuss
** a) clinical hypothesis and image analysis questions,
** b) refined existing and new data sets related to a) and
** c) refined and new algorithms available and ready to meet requirements of a) and b). Emphasis will be on the question what actions to take that will result in NA-MIC clinical application science papers especially w.r.t. the "low hanging fruits" discussed at the AHM.

= Logistics =

* The venue is the conference room on the second floor of our 1249 Boylston Street Facility [http://splweb.bwh.harvard.edu:8000/pages/directions/1249Boylston/Boylston-facility.html (directions)] in Boston on October 17 between 9.30am and 3pm.
* Nancy Maxwell will be waiting downstairs to let you in the building. Call her at 617 525 6105 if she is not there.

* '''09.30am''' Begin

# Intro: Ron
# Core 3: Discussion of newly available data (moderated by Martha Shenton & Andy Saykin)
## [[Core1-3-meeting-2006/NewCore3Data|New Core 3 Data]]
# Core 1: Discussion of algorithms and processing capabilities that candidates in this effort (moderated by Ross Whitaker & Guido Gerig).

= Ongoing Projects =

* UF: 2 ROI tractography analysis with mean FA measures, doDTI ... submitted to Brain.
* CF: previously defined ROIs, tractography with behavioral Stroop data, doDTI ... submitted to Archives of General Psychiatry.
* AF: Registration of Susumu Mori’s atlas to our cases. Slicer Nonlinear FA to FA. No results. Need better registration.
* CC: (1) Tractography. Fibers seeded in one slice CC ROI. Automated fiber clustering results in ROI color coded based on fiber clustering (Slicer, MIT Collaboration).

(2) Atlas based approach warping a CC subdivision to individual cases (UNC Collaboration).

* ALIC: Work in progress. Tractography from anterior and posterior limb of the internal capsule. Slicer
* STG: Mean FA, mean diffusivity within ROI defined on SPGR Slicer ... submitted to Biological Psychiatry.

= Core 3 Wishes =

* Registration:
** Inter-subject diffusion to diffusion registration.
** Intra- and inter-subject co-registration of structural, diffusion and functional MRI.
* DWI/tensor/fiber smoothing.
* Fiber asymmetry computation.
* Fiber registration.
* Tractography of white matter structures seeded in gray matter areas.
* 3T artifact removal.
* Segmentation of temporal lobe and basal ganglia.
* Anatomical atlas for white and gray matter.
