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

We are developing a tool for analyzing dose distributions. The goal is to be able to make quantitative evaluation of different dose distributions in association with RT structures of interest.




Approach, Plan

Our approach for analyzing dose distributions is to create multiple modes of dose difference quantification that complement each other. Simultaneous evaluation of isodoses, dose-difference and distance-to-agreemnet distributions will be used to determine dissimilarities of two dose images.


Progress

We created Plastimatch based command line module for Slicer3 titled "Dose comparison" that allows us to create and display isodoses, image dose-difference and distance-to-agreement distributions according to user's needs. Better representation of isodose labelmap is needed to be able to create overlaping isodose surfaces.



Delivery Mechanism

This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a Extension -- commandline
