National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
NAMIC Kit Update
• Slicer 3– Significant progress– Modules now being
contributed
• Foundational Software– KWWidgets – CPack– DART, CMake– VTK, ITK– BIRN, InsightJournal
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
Structural Analysis Update
• New methods segmentation & shape leading to tools
• Slicer integration• MGH Freesurfer• Coherent, joint effort across
groups and cores for shape
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
DWI/DTI Analysis
• Algorithms– Low-level
• Filtering and estimation• Segmentation
– Higher-level• Tracts/paths• Altases
• Software– Slicer/Slicer3
• Clinical results
Expert Labels Clustered Data

Core 1:
• Ross is Core 1 PI
• Polina is now site-PI for MIT, Eric serves as senior advisor
• Guido is moving to Utah
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
Core 2:
• Will replaces Bill as Core 2 PI,
• Jim takes over the site PI function
• Slicer3 beta is released
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
Core 3:
• Current DBP's– NA-MIC funding for current DBP’s ends 07-31-
2007. – No follow-up grant applications until now!!!
• New DBP's will use NA-MIC funding to transition into NA-MIC kit and develop application portfolio – Harvard – UNC – JHU/Queens – UNM

Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome (VCFS) as a Genetic Model for Schizophrenia.
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Marek Kubicki, MD, PhDINVESTIGATORS:Martha Shenton, PhDZora Kikinis, PhDSylvain Bouix, PhDMarc Niethammer, PhDRESEARCH ASSISTANT:Doug Markant, BA
BACKGROUND:
• VCFS is a rare genetic syndrome (single copies of 30-45 genes on chromosome 22 are missing)
• 30% of patients with VCFS develop schizophrenia
AIMS:
• To characterize anatomical similarities and dissimilarities between VCFS and Schizophrenia
• To find “schizophrenia” genes
DATA:
• DTI, MRI, haplotypes, neuropsychology

UNC Autism Study
Heather Cody Hazlett, PhD (Co-PI Joseph Piven, MD) UNC Chapel Hill, Department of Psychiatry & the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Research Center
Data: sMRI, DTI, behavioral /clinical
Group age 2 age 4 Autism 56 28 DevDelay 10 6 TypDev 18 8
Possible projects for NA-MIC:
(1) Substructure segmentation – automate existing protocols
(2) Cortical thickness – localized analysis, longitudinal
(3) DTI atlas – regional & localized analysis
(4) Shape analysis – automated, longitudinal
Longitudinal MRI study of early brain development in neuropsychiatric disorder:

The MIND Institute / UNMThe Analysis of Brain Lesions in Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosis
INVESTIGATORS:H. Jeremy BockholtCharles Gasparovic, Ph.D. CONSULTANTS:Vincent Magnotta, Ph.D.Vince Calhoun, Ph.D.Dominic Meier, Ph.D.PROGRAMMER:Sumner Williams, M.S.
BACKGROUND:• NPSLE is an autoimmune disorder that
causes neurological and psychiatric complications
• Afflicted patients have distinct white matter lesions that vary over time
• To understand the etiology of brain lesions in NPSLE, accurate measurement of lesion location, size, and time course must be achieved
AIMS:
• Evaluate existing tools and develop new tools useing the NA-MIC kit for time series analysis of brain lesions found in NPSLE
DATA:
• MRI, DTI, perfusion, transcranial ultrasound, echocardiography, and neuropsychology

Cores 4-7
• Web: move to new infrastructure
• Training Core: Outreach events for 2007: Suggestions, Requests?
• Leadership Core: – Steve Wong has moved to other
activities. – Rachana Manandhar joins the
administration team.

Collaboration grants:
• PAR's have been reissued. • NIH removed the restriction on prior
collaborators. • Electronic submission required. • PAR-07-249 (R01)
PAR-07-250 (R21) • Iowa funded to do FEM Mesh Generation • Several other applications are being
submitted or are pending
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
Strategic Planning
• Competitive renewal is looming (if we are allowed to submit)
• We need to identify NIH institutes who might co-sponsor NA-MICs competitive renewal: NIBIB, NLM, NCRR, NIMH, NCI….

Define NA-MIC’s Strength
• Mark Ellisman: What is our “Moonshot”?– We need a story that will be understood by
people on the outside, including NIH and congress
• Who are we relative to: – other software efforts such as SPM, Mathlab,
FSL, LONI, Freesurfer, SCI, Paraview, BIRN etc.
– other NCBC’s
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
What is our offering?
• Algorithm researchers: Toolkits and developers environment
• Biomedical Engineers: we need scripting capabilities
• Application scientists: we need turn-key solutions
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
To-Do List for 2007
• Your NA-MIC funding is intended for NA-MIC relevant work
• Use and improve the NA-MIC kit• Move to Slicer 3!• Cores 1 and 2 should work with the
current DBP’s to exploit the NA-MIC kit:– Use-Scenarios – “Portable” Solutions– Collaboration Grants
• Identify projects with the new DBP’s
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
Project Week: June 25-29, MIT
• Computer Scientists: Work on your source code using the NA-MIC kit– Produce Modules
• DBP’s: Work on your data using the NA-MIC kit– Produce Procedure Manuals
