 <h3>Objective</h3>
-We are developing methods for analyzing diffusion tensor data along fiber tracts. The goal is to be able to make statistical group comparisons with fiber tracts as a common reference frame for comparison.
+We are developing a hybrid neuronavigation system which combines a Brainlab navigation system with optical tracking, an Aurora electromagnetic (EM) tracking device and 3D Slicer to enhance current neurosurgical practice. We will add micro EM sensors to neurosurgical tools in order to track their tip location and integrate position and orientation into a 3D Slicer navigation environment.

 <h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
-Our approach for analyzing diffusion tensors is summarized in the IPMI 2007 reference below.  The main challenge to this approach is <foo>.
+Our approach is to use Brainlab to perform patient to image registration and patient tracking, and to use the Aurora device to track the tip location of the tools. OpenIGTLink will be used to interface patient images and tracking data into 3D Slicer<foo>.

 <h3>Progress</h3>
-Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the [[NA-MIC/Projects/Diffusion_Image_Analysis/DTI_Software_and_Algorithm_Infrastructure|DTI Software Infrastructure]] project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.
