  • GE: Jim Miller

Objective

We would like to create an end-to-end application within Slicer3 allowing individual and group analysis of regional and local cortical thickness.

Such a workflow applied to the young brain (2-4 years old) is our goal in order to start a longitudinal study of early brain development in autism.

See our Roadmap for more details.

Approach, Plan

Our plan during this week is to use several Slicer3 modules, and apply them on our pediatric data.

We would like to apply EMSegment to segment our pediatric data using our own atlas and compare it whith a segmentation tool (itkEMS) developped in our lab.

Progress


Attended:

  • EMSegment breakout session
  • Registration breakout session

We have learnt how to use the new EMSegment module.

We have successfully run the module using the tutorial template-data.

We need to run it using our own pediatric atlas-data.
