Brain development
Cortical thickness on WM surface

‏ UNC DBP2 Presentation(ppt)

Overview

  • What problem does the pipeline solve, and who is the targeted user?

There is a lack of appropriate tools for processing of pediatric MRI, a challenging topic since pediatric MRI differs significantly from adult MRI due to variable brain shape and the process of maturation/myelination which are reflected in nonlinear shape/volume changes but also regional change of white matter....

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 one goal of the UNC DBP

  • How does the pipeline compare to state of the art

A statistical analysis is currently performed in order to compare our pipeline with FreeSurfer. We use a pediatric dataset of 90 cases including controls autistic children and developmental-delays, 2 groups being considered: 2 year-old cases and 4-year old cases.

Detailed Information about the Pipeline

  • Illustrate the components and workflow of the pipeline using your own data
  • Demonstrate parameters/steps that need to be adjusted using someone else's data
