#DTIAtlasBuilder

Current stable release: 1.2 (05/01/2013)

##What is it?

A tool to create an atlas from several DTI images

##Where is it?

Find the tool on NITRC and GitHub

Binary package available on the NITRC download page

Usage tutorial available from NITRC

##External Requirements

These Softwares need to be installed before executing the tool :

• ImageMath
• ResampleDTIlogEuclidean
• CropDTI
• dtiprocess
• BRAINSFit
• GreedyAtlas
• dtiaverage
• DTI-Reg
• MriWatcher
• unu

If you do not have these softwares installed on your machine, you can use the COMPILE_PACKAGE CMake option to download and compile aumatically the tools you need. If you do so, please run "make install" after the compilation to copy the tools into the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

4_Final_Resampling/First_Resampling/CaseX_GlobalDeformationField.nrrd   -> 4_Final_Resampling/First_Resampling/CaseX_GlobalDisplacementField.nrrd
4_Final_Resampling/Second_Resampling/CaseX_GlobalDeformationField.nrrd  -> 4_Final_Resampling/Second_Resampling/CaseX_GlobalDisplacementField.nrrd

####v1.1 (02/22/2013)

• Add a SuperBuild system to automatically download and compile all needed external tools

• Add DTIAtlasBuilder as a Slicer extension

• Replace AtlasWerks by GreedyAtlas

• Files/Folders name changes:

2_NonLinear_Registration_AW                  -> 2_NonLinear_Registration
2_NonLinear_Registration/AverageImage.mhd    -> 2_NonLinear_Registration/MeanImage.mhd
3_AW_Atlas                                   -> 3_Diffeomorphic_Atlas
3_Diffeomorphic_Atlas/CaseX_AWDTI.nrrd       -> 3_Diffeomorphic_Atlas/CaseX_DiffeomorphicDTI.nrrd
3_Diffeomorphic_Atlas/AWAtlasDTI.nrrd        -> 3_Diffeomorphic_Atlas/DiffeomorphicAtlasDTI.nrrd

####v1.0 (10/11/2012)

• Initial version

##Troubleshooting:

####Load a parameter file

If a parameter file fails to open in DTIAtlasBuilder (Parameter file is corrupted), you need to recreate it by loading only the corresponding dataset file and setting your options again.
