SFN Diffusion imaging workshop Posted By: David Kennedy - Oct 25, 2011Tool/Resource: NITRC Community The National Alliance for Medical Image Computing is sponsoring a day long workshop for both novice and intermediate level scientists (clinicians, image analysis developers or researchers) who are interested in acquiring, analyzing and interpreting brain imaging MR diffusion scans. We still have a few slots open. The workshop will be held on Friday November 11 from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm in Room 159A of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place, NW, Washington. See http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/SF... for complete details. Satellite Workshop Goals * To provide tutorials on DTI data validation and management (including how to put your image data into NRRD format). * To provide hands on tutorials in the use of NA-MIC DTI analysis tools. * To establish contact between NA-MIC Tookit experts (users and developers) and basic and clinical researchers in the global neuroimaging community. Workshop Faculty * Sonia Pujol, PhD, Harvard Medical School, Surgical Planning Laboratory, Department of Radiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital * Randy Gollub, MD, PhD, Harvard Medical School, Department of Psychiatry and Martinos Center, Department of Radiology, Massachussets General Hospital * Anastasia Yendiki, PhD, Harvard Medical School, Martinos Center, Department of Radiology, Massachussets General Hospital * Ipek Oguz, PhD, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Tentative Agenda * 9:00 - 9:10 AM Goals of Workshop (Randy Gollub/Sonia Pujol) * 9:10 - 10:10 AM Theoretical foundations of Diffusion Imaging (Anastasia Yendiki) * 10:10 - 10:45 AM Getting to Know DTI really, really well- tensors, glyphs and more (Guido Gerig) * 10:45 -11:00 Coffee Break * 11:00 - 12:00 PM DTI in research and in the clinics: current uses and future roadmap (Ipek Oguz) * 12:00 - 1:30 Lunch on own * 1:30 - 2:00 Challenges in clinical transfer of DT-MRI: towards validation of tractography (Sonia Pujol) * 2:00 - 3:00 Hands-on Session 1- Diffusion Tensor Imaging Analysis within 3DSlicer: from DWI images to 3D fiber bundles (Sonia Pujol/Randy Gollub/Anastasia Yendiki/Ipek Oguz) * 3:15 - 3:30 Coffee Break * 3:30 - 4:45 Hands-on Session 2- White Matter Exploration for Neurosurgical Planning (Sonia Pujol/Randy Gollub/Anastasia Yendiki/Ipek Oguz) * 4:45 - 5:15 Lessons in Multi-site DTI Acquisition- the BIRN experience (Randy Gollub) * 5:15 - 5:30 Concluding remarks and Discussion |
