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.

Objective

To build an atlas based on 100 existing manually-lobe parcellated 1.5T data to aid in automatic lobe parcellation of 3T data.


Approach, Plan

Our plan is to use an algorithm described in Reference 1 to construct probability maps of the lobes using an unbiased registration approach. The algorithm uses a label space representation that allows for direct registration.


Progress

We are using a MATLAB(R) implementation of the algorithm to construct the atlas and fine tuning it for 10 subjects.
