2012 Summer Project Week:ANTS Registation

• 

  Projects List

• 

  ANTS Brain registration to population-based template

Key Investigators

• Iowa: Dave Welch, Hans Johnson
• Penn State: Brian Avants, Gang Song, Nick Tustison

Objective

We are developing an ANTS-based registration module.

Approach, Plan

Our approach for implementing ANTS registration will be to create a command line module and integrate ANTS into the Slicer build process, if possible.
