DTI Meeting Minutes | December 6, 2006

Present: Doug, Marek, Sylvain, CF, Mahnaz, Santiago, Gudrun, Jenny, Katharina, Marc


1. Presentation by Santiago - "Optimal filtering and noise estimation on DTI data" (slides are attached in lmmse.pdf)

  • We will try to apply this filtering to 1.5T data for fornix and cingulum tractography


2. Update from Marc on EPI outlier removal

  • Our pipeline for new data will consist of:
  1. Scanning
  2. Resampling
  3. Outlier removal
  4. Noise estimation/Filtering
  5. Distortion correction (can be done at any point, only looks at the distortion maps) - this is on hold until we get the software from NanQuei


3. 3T SPGRs

  • The new SPGRs have an artifact that is preventing measurement of cortical thickness in Freesurfer (but segmentation is still possible)
  • Sylvain will try some bias field correction on these images


4. Clustering in Slicer

  • The clustering part of DTMRI module is not consistent--there is some stochastic element that produces different results when using the same settings multiple times
  • Marek will contact Lauren about this issue.
