Software program that provides accurate real-time stimulus control, behavioral and physiological recording, and synchronization with external devices. It can also provide continuous real-time feedback of task performance and physiological responses. Task programming typically involves a simple text file specifying basic parameter settings (e.g. screen color) and a list of stimulus events, which can include images, animated movies, sound files, text stimuli, video graphics, or commands that communicate with external hardware devices. Multiple video and auditory stimuli can be presented simultaneously. Multi-channel response recording and real-time feedback features require no user programming. Advanced users can add customized stimulus events using CIGAL's real-time programming capabilities. Output files can be automatically created in a variety of output formats (e.g. FSL 3-column files, XML Events files, CSV trial tables).

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/miva/

Software package that is a powerful graphical interface that displays, segments, aligns, manipulates, and blends image (pixel) and geometry (real-world coordinates) data simultaneously. Several applications are directly built into MIVA. Registration modes include interactive affine transformations. Fiducial registration tools facilitate rapid alignments for inter-modality volumes. Interactive Region of Interst (ROI) and Volume-of-Interest (VOI) tools exist to segment medical images. Virtually unique to MIVA are its 3D geometry tools and their compatibility with pixel based medical images. A full 3D interactive rat brain atlas is in an fMRI module which walks one through the necessary steps of fMRI. A multiple material surface routine takes segmented medical slices and creates 3D triangulated surfaces that align along all region boarders without overlap or gaps. These surfaces are the direct input into the MIVA tetrahedral mesh generator.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/mgdm/

An efficient level set framework for multi-object segmentation. Its representation inherently prevents overlaps and gaps and it readily preserves object topology and object relationships. MGDM is efficient, storing only a fixed number of functions for any number of objects, and therefore scales well to segmentation problems with many classes and large images. It's representation also avoids some instabilities in other multi-class level set methods. MGDM is cross-platform; MATLAB wrappers, Java source and API are provided, with MIPAV plugins forthcoming.

Software for both groupwise registration and longitudinal registration, which are the necessary steps for many brain-related applications. Specifically, groupwise registration is important for unbiased analysis of a large set of MR brain images. Therefore, in this software package, they have included two of their recently-developed groupwise registration algorithms: 1) Improved unbiased groupwise registration guided with the sharp group-mean image, and 2) Hierarchical feature-based groupwise registration with implicit template (Groupwise-HAMMER for short). On the other hand, they also included their recently-developed groupwise longitudinal registration algorithm that aligns not only the longitudinal image sequence for each subject, but also align all longitudinal image sequences of all subjects to the common space simultaneously.

Training material for the MS lesion segmentation challenge 2008 to compare different algorithms to segment the MS lesions from brain MRI scans. Data used for the workshop is composed of 54 brain MRI images and represents a range of patients and pathology which was acquired from Children's Hospital Boston and University of North Carolian. Data has initially been randomized into three groups: 20 training MRI images, 24 testing images for the qualifying and 8 for the onsite contest at the 2008 workshop. The downloadable online database consists now of the training images (including reference segmentations) and all the 32 combined testing images (without segmentations). The naming has not been changed in comparison to the workshop compeition in order to allow easy comparison between the workshop papers and the online database papers. One dataset has been removed (UNC_test1_Case02) due to considerable motion present only in its T2 image (without motion artifacts in T1 and FLAIR). Such a dataset unfairly penalizes methods that use T2 images versus methods that don't use the T2 image. Currently all cases have been segmented by expert raters at each institution. They have significant intersite variablility in segmentation. MS lesion MRI image data for this competition was acquired seperately by Children's Hospital Boston and University of North Carolina. UNC cases were acquired on Siemens 3T Allegra MRI scanner with slice thickness of 1mm and in-plane resolution of 0.5mm. To ease the segmentation process all data has been rigidly registered to a common reference frame and resliced to isotrophic voxel spacing using b-spline based interpolation. Pre-processed data is stored in NRRD format containing an ASCII readable header and a separate uncompressed raw image data file. This format is ITK compatible. If you want to join the competition, you can download data set from links here, and submit your segmentation results at http://www.ia.unc.edu/MSseg after registering your team. They require team name, password, and email address for future contact. Once experiment is completed, you can submit the segmentation data in a zip file format. Please refer submission page for uploading data format.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/multi_t2/

Software tool designed to assist users in the estimation of multiple relaxation components from MRI T2 weighted spin-echo data such as that produced by a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence. This problem is important to study myelin content in white matter diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Stimulated echoes arising from non-ideal flip angles are accounted for using the Extended Phase Graph (EPG) algorithm. The distribution is modelled as a small number of discrete components and a Bayesian estimation algorithm is provided to determine the weights and locations of the components as well as the actual flip angle. This algorithm outperforms iterative gradient descent based approaches.

The perl script nu_correct implements a novel approach to correcting for intensity non-uniformity in MR data that achieves high performance without requiring supervision. By making relatively few assumptions about the data, the method can be applied at an early stage in an automated data analysis, before a tissue intensity or geometric model is available. Described as Non-parametric Non-uniform intensity Normalization (N3), the method is independent of pulse sequence and insensitive to pathological data that might otherwise violate model assumptions. To eliminate the dependence of the field estimate on anatomy, an iterative approach is employed to estimate both the multiplicative bias field and the distribution of the true tissue intensities. Preprocessing of MR data using N3 has been shown to substantially improve the accuracy of anatomical analysis techniques such as tissue classification and cortical surface extraction.
