Project Description

Objective

• To convert Dr. Rathi's UKF tractography Slicer3 module to a Slicer4 extension

• *High Priority*:

  Have a working UKFtractography module in Slicer4 extension:

 1. Change and update the UKFTractography.xml file for receiving a .vtk file as output.
 2. Setup CTest and ensure its working.
 3. Verify that the Tractography module works on a test invivo data set
      a). Verify that the following 4 models work properly.
           1-Tensor, 1-Tensor with Free-water, 2-tensor, 2-tensor with free-water.
 4. Design a logo for the extension module.
 5. Document the module (including utility functions) -- make a wiki page.
     (Include the References to the appropriate papers and make nice snapshots).
 6. Add the 2 utility functions to the extension module and verify if they work.

• Optional:

 1. Use the VTK library to output the data (.vtp).

• Future Work:

1. Move from boost to ITK multithreading.
