Morphometry BIRN:Imaging Calibration
Analysis ToolsData Sharing
Imaging Calibration
Structural Data Calibration Effort
• 5 subject, 5 site, 2 session data posted
• Cortical thickness paper published
• Skull stripping paper published
• De-identification paper in press
• Two reproducibility manuscripts in preparation
Imaging Calibration
Diffusion Tensor Imaging Data Calibration Effort
• Single subject, 3 session, 45 scan ~ posted
• 61 normal controls ~ posted
• Single-site variability study completed
• Multi-site variability study ready to go
• “BIRN-approved” protocol underway
DTI Calibration Study: DW Scheme
QUESTION: Which diffusion weighting scheme should you use and why?
TAKE HOME POINT: Use a scheme with many directions ( ~ 30) to get uniform precision and accuracy at all
fiber orientations. BUT…Effect size is small (less than intra and inter scan variability)
ENDPOINT: Paper submitted October 2006
Tools - Image Distortion Correction
• Gradient unwarping of structural data workflow
• DTI eddy-current correction code posted,sequences available for GE, Siemens
• Landmark LDDMM software manuscript in review
Tools – Gradient Unwarping
Portal Version
Tool – Databases
• Open source release
• Additional XNAT sites
• Simplified deployment (BIRN-CC, VMware)
• Integration with end user tools (ex. Slicer)
• Additional features (DICOM, web services, pipelines, compatibility with BIRN-CC
infrastructure)
Duke NIRL Hosted MIRIAD Datahttp://nirlarc.duhs.duke.edu
MIRIAD data in both XNAT and HID
Tools - FreeSurfer
•Subcortical segmentations, •Integration with 3D-Slicer•Automated filling of ventricles and basal ganglia, •Improved skull-stripping and cutting plane definition, •New parcellation (Desikan-Killiany), •Surface-based General Linear Model analysis
Tools - BIRN Query Atlas in Slicer3
• Re-Architecture of the QueryAtlas
– Advanced Label Features Built-In
– Real-Time Interaction with Labels
– “Right Click” on Models and Images to Initiate Queries
– Based on NA-MIC Software Engineering Methodology
– Anatomy-Based Access to Web Resources
• Integrates with BIRN IT Efforts
– Auto Convert and Load BIRN Data
• Leverages mBIRN Data Formats and Analysis (FreeSurfer)
• fBIRN is Building Functional QueryAtlas Integrated with mBIRN QueryAtlas
Tools - CATNAP
GOAL: To simplify and accelerate DTI &
anatomical data processing
HOW IT WORKS: Coregistration with FSL FLIRT Computes DTI gradient table Computes diffusion tensor and
DTI contrasts
DETIALS: Runs in MATLAB Philips data only (so far)

BIRN-enabled Collaborations - VETSA
• Vietnam Era Twin Registry (VETSA)– mBIRN Acquisition
• MRI sequences (MGH/UCSD sites)
– mBIRN Image Analysis Workflow• QC of raw data• FreeSurfer cerebral segmentation & QC• FreeSurfer cortical surface reconstruction &
parcellation & QC• Databasing and statistics with clinical information
– Heritability (twin method) statistics • Implemented on cortical surface • Modeling for ROIs in progress

Regions in brighter color suggests a stronger genetic component.
The Future… IT
• SRB enabling of tools
– Download pre-existing SRB data into applications
– Applications run on the Apps Server withPortal Interface
– Construct Federated Data Repository of Large Data Sets
