<h3>Objective</h3>

* Combining structural and DTI information for assessment of recovery and treatment efficacy for TBI.
* Coregistration of structural and DTI data of TBI.
* Applying 4D model to DTI data to investigate the changes between acute and chronic time points.

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>

* Register DTI to structural images.
* Apply deformation between acute and chronic time points to the co-registered DTI images
* Evaluate initial result with our collaborators

<h3>Progress</h3>

* using Slicer registration modules to do coregistration between structural and diffusion MRI.
** talked to James about using Slicer modules to do coregistration, tried his script of using Slicer modules to process TBI data. 
** talked to Martin about coregistration of structural and diffusion MRI in Slicer. 
** tried affine, Bspline, demons registration modules.
* worked with Andrei and Anuja together to solve the problem of loading DICOM images.
* talked to Ron and learned DWI to Full Brain Tractography, MultiVolumeImporter, MultiVolumeExplorer modules in Slicer 4. 
* discussed with Andrei and Micah about recent progress and future plan.
* attended the TBI DBP Team Meeting.
