Packaging and distributing software across multiple computer platforms (hardware, operating system and compiler) has been a difficult, error prone and time consuming process. CPack is an adjunct component of CMake that addresses this issue. It uses the concept of ''generators'' from CMake, where a generator abstracts the platform specific packaging issues. CPack is a new software tool whose development was initiated in the second year of NA-MIC funding. Initial results includes support for Mac OSX using PackageMaker, Windows using Nullsoft Scriptable Installer System (NSIS), and Unix using self extracting TAR file. Future work includes support for more generators, such as Red Hat RPM, Debian DEB, and Microsoft MSI.

Objective: We are developing methods for analyzing diffusion tensor data along fiber tracts. The goal is to be able to make statistical group comparisons with fiber tracts as a common reference frame for comparison.

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 has been submitted.
