====June 2007 Project Week====

We have implemented the inter-slice motion correction module for Slicer3 and are now testing it on various data-sets. We are currently working on inter-volume registration and spatial normalization to a reference space (viz. Talairach and MNI.)
During this Project Week, we did a lot of algorithmic design work, focusing on leveraging optimal or geodesic path information to provide for volumetric segmentations of fiber bundles.  Working with Marek Kubicki and the Harvard DBP, we were able to begin the process of applying our algorithm to the full cingulum bundle with new labelmaps and to a new fiber bundle - Arcuate. We have recently achieved significant results in volumetric segmentations using a locally-constrained region-based technique (see the images above).

====Jan 2007 Project Half Week====
 
We finished the itkDirectionalIterator which will be needed in the Fast Sweeping implementation.  Furthermore, we made progress in porting our Matlab code to ITK.

Objective

To implement an fMRI analysis pipeline in the Slicer 3 framework including:
a) Slice timing correction (open)
b) Inter-slice motion correction (done)
c) Spatial normalization (open)
d) Co-registration of functional and structural data (open)

Approach, Plan

Our approach is based upon SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping) toolkit widely used in the fMRI community. Our challenge is to build these algorithms into the Slicer3 infrastructure. Our main purpose at the Project Week is to work with our collaborators in order to define the scope of this project, decide upon the details of the fMRI framework in Slicer3, and identify other open problems with respect to fMRI analysis.

Progress

We have implemented the inter-slice motion correction module for Slicer3 and are now testing it on various data-sets. We are currently working on inter-volume registration and spatial normalization to a reference space (viz. Talairach and MNI.)
