This includes discussion of related tools, data sets, methodological discussion, related websites and publications. Wiki, forums, documents, and mailing lists are expected to be used and shared. func_conn@www.nitrc.org (Maria Tass) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=412 http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=412 http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=406 NITRC version 1.1.1.-1 has been released, implementing a number of new features. Among other changes, Google search functionality was added, which addressed a number of search issues. Release notes may be found on the community wiki at http://www.nitrc.org/plugins/wiki/index.php?NITRC%20Release%20Notes&id=6&type=g moderator@www.nitrc.org (Christian Haselgrove) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=406 http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=406 http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=393 NITRC will have an electronic poster at ISMRM in Toronto. It will be presented Tuesday, May 6th at 1:30, computer 22 in Hall D. NITRC Community Liaison, David Kennedy, will be present at the meeting from Monday morning until Thursday evening. Stop by and check it out. dnkennedy@www.nitrc.org (David Kennedy) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=393 http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=393 http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=392 A new version of the User Guide has been uploaded.

We will focus on the methodology and applications of task independent fluctuation measures including: connectivity maps of fMRI resting state scans, research using EEG/MEG/PET etc, methods to remove non-neural fluctuations, and applications to clinical populations. The goal will be to make this a very good resource for new users who want to start studying this topic and for people who want to be able to directly compare the methods used by different groups. The wiki contains some information including a list of references and a data analysis stream and the forum will hopefully be a place for discussion. Scripts and small programs can also be shared through this group. werker@www.nitrc.org (Daniel Handwerker) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=387 http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=387 http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=380 Come visit us!

Medical imaging modalities that capture changes in living tissue with time are becoming more prevalent and provide a valuable source of knowledge about tissue and organ processes and physiology. This workshop provides a venue for presenting the latest advances in mathematical techniques and computational algorithms for extracting clinically relevant information from functional and time-varying medical image data. Topics: ------- Contributions are solicited in, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Novel algorithms for processing and analysis of functional medical image data, including denoising, enhancement, restoration, clustering, segmentation, tracking, matching, registration, fusion, and kinetic modeling * Methods for information extraction from functional medical image modalities including positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE MRI), tagged MRI, phase contrast MRI, flow imaging, ultrasound, and from multi-modal data fused with other signals such as MEG or EEG. * Functional medical image computing algorithms (computational physiology) for quantification and analysis of electro-physiological signals, motion patterns, tracer uptake and tissue kinetics, perfusion, flow, activation patterns, responses to stimuli, progress of pathology or treatments, and other processes related to cardiac, neural, musculoskeletal, renal, blood and other organs, tissues, and fluids at a variety of scales of molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and whole body imaging. Important Dates: ---------------- Paper Submission: June 1, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: July 1, 2008 Camera-Ready Papers: July 14, 2008. Workshop: September 10, 2008.
