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 [[NA-MIC/Projects/Diffusion_Image_Analysis/DTI_Software_and_Algorithm_Infrastructure|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.

Objective

Conversion of the Iowa Neural netwok segmentation using a flexible module for image registration supporting all ITK transforms written using the transform I/O in ITK. Conversion to the ITK neural network from the current annie implementation may also be

Approach, Plan

Integrate additional ITK transform types into the neural network using the general ITK transform I/O mechanism. Evaluate the changes to segment the phalanx bones bones of the hand.

Progress

Two milestones were reached in this effort.

  • The first was that we have integrated a rigid body initialization for a Thirion Demons registration for atlas <-> subject registration. The above modification was used to warp the atlas to the subject as shown in the figures.
  • The second was that the neural network code now supports all ITK transforms for registration of the atlas<->subject. This was achieved using the itkTransformReader and the a templated function over the image type and transform type to resample the images.
