  • Discussed the response letter for MICCAI submissions
  • Next task would be
    • Load the test data and create the scene views manually
    • Link the scene views to individual 3D mosaic viewers
    • Test one MRI volume in 4 viewers first; then test 4 MRI volumes in 4 viewers; finally test the DTI data

• April 21-23
  • Made progress to the Mosaic Viewer module. Now it could display and manipulate multiple independent 3D viewers at the same time.
  • Discussed DTI Challenge preparation. Need to install Evernote and Live Minutes to enhance collaboration.
  • Next step would be to finalize the Mosaic Viewer by creating a scene view for the it.
