- Isomics: Steve Pieper
- Knowledge Vis: Curt Lisle

Objective
Work on integration of the new VTK 3D Widgets into Slicer3 for generation of finite element models. This will also include adding support for structured and unstructered grids into Slicer3
Approach, Plan
The plan for project week is to brainstorm on the best way to integerate the widgets that have been developed at the University of Iowa into Slicer3. Several SLicer3 team members may be consulted to help with this effort.Progress
Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the DTI Software Infrastructure project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.
