In attendence (add your name if you were there but I didn't note it below): Guido Gerig, Ron Kikinis, Casey Goodlett, Randy Gollub (she was late naughty woman), Ross Whitaker, Dennis Jen, Lauren O'Donnell, Karl Helmer, Vince Magnotta, John Melanakos, CF Westin, Tri Ngo, Doug , Sonia Pujol


Guido's summary notes from discussion about DWI dataset resolution and pre-processing. To include data from Marek's group and recommendations to us about what data exactly to use. Also, could you please summarize the recommendations for input - output formats (e.g. all use NRRD data, all use standardized vtk treamline format, etc).


Action Items:

  1. All agorithm developers will run their software on the data as described above by Guido.
  2. All agorithm developers will keep laboratory notes on as many details of the processing pipeline as they can and summarize this information in a Lab Report to be shared with the group in Sante Fe. The metrics that were mentioned included: detailed methods, processing steps, time to run each step, user interaction or tweaks that needed to be made, size of resultant files, processor requirements, etc.
  3. All algorithm developers will generate final results both by subject and group with output measures that they deem most informative. The summarized information including images of the results and any metrics to be put into a final Powerpoint report to be shared with the group in Sante Fe.
  4. The above two items should be a single presentation.
  5. Marek and his group will add specific clinically relevant hypotheses for how each tract differs between healthy and matched schizophrenic subjects.
  6. Algorithm developers will use the page to post their ideas for statistical approaches to summarize, compare and contrast the data.
  7. Agenda for the 2 days has been updated and is open to further discussion from the group.

Miscellaneous ideas: Ron/Ross suggested that this Conference be a "dry run" for a future MICCAI session on this same topic
