2008 Core 1 Core 3 mtg:notes

Core 3 Presentations

9:30 B&W/Harvard Marek Kubicki, Core 3 Talk. Slides. Stochastic Tractography

Additional discussion:

• Slicer3 release date? Some question regarding proper handling of

coordinate frames in Slicer3.

• Discussion of registration and existing/needed tools in Slicer 3.

Discussion postponed to registration session.

• Discussion re bias field correction and EM seg -> perhaps more

Core3/Core1 interaction needed

9:50 Queen's U not here yet -> talk postponed

9:50 UNC Rachel Smith talk. Slides. Longitudinal study of brain devel. in autism. Additional discussion:

• Brief discussion of segmentation methods for brain substructure

segmentations

• Additional clarification/specifics of the status of the processing of

datasets

• Status of Marcel segmentation modules and issues re Core2/1 interaction

issues -> Utah (Guido, Marcel) waiting for resolution of some critical Core2 software infrastructure issues e.g. chaining infrastructure design before they can finalize tools

• Cortical thickness measurment algorithms-> Advantages/drawbacks of

different methods. Guido: we should compare methods and see difference in simpler vs. more complex algorithms. Martin: Core 3 intends to look at this issue

• Cortical correspondence-> Martin gives update on local correspondence

methods status (particle method with freesurfer preprocessing). Issue: Freesurfer not working for pediatric data. Critical Freesurfer functionality will be reimplemented as NAMIC tool
