<h3>Progress</h3>
 
<h3>Progress</h3>
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

Build a stripped down version of Slicer containing core functionalities only. To be used for image-guided therapy in the OR. Suitable for for getting Health Canada / FDA approval.

Approach, Plan

Analyze all the dependencies of Slicer, see which of them are really needed. Try to remove those that are not essential.

Progress
