What

Planning the 3-year course:

  • Roadmap project
    • What will the DBP engineer work on?
      • Development of multimodal workflows for TBI data of individual clinical cases
      • Development of novel processing routines in C++, itk/vtk
      • Generation of summary statistics describing the TBI-related injury
      • Extent of lesion(s), ventricular size, white matter pathology impacting connectivity
      • How such values change between acute and follow-up imaging sessions
      • How these changes pertain to changes in clinical course/outcome
    • Is the image data already in hand?
      • Yes. Multiple MR-based data types already exist in addition to PET. We will also work with UCLA clinicians to obtain additional data where necessary.
  • What modules for the NA-MIC Kit will result from this work?
    • Many modules will be brought to the issues with TBI data. However, automated methods may not be robust enough for data where there has been a change in geometry, displacement of tissues, tissue death, surgical intervention, etc. We will work to identify places where such algorithms can receive user input to help conditionalize algorithm performance.
  • Outreach
    • Special workflows will be necessary to guide users/clinicians in the processing of the data
    • Tutorial(s) will be posted on the wiki
    • Presentation at a DBP conference for year 2
    • Hands-on teaching event for the DBP scientific community for year 3
