Diffusion MRI
Neuroscience Collaborations
The following is a table of all the projects on which we're collaborating, the data we've received from our collaborators, information about the data, and our progress in processing them.
In the "Status" column, the rule of thumb is to only mark a particular stage completed if it's completed for all scans (usually corresponding to patients) in the dataset. Sometimes a step will be marked complete if it's known to work for all scans but has not been completed on a minority of them, but this practice is discouraged.
In the "Resolution" and "Voxel Size" columns, dimensions are ordered XxYxZ.
In the "Orientation" column, "L" stands for "left side of patient from an anterior view", or "patient's right". "R" stands for "right side of patient from an anterior view", or "patient's left". "A" stands for "anterior" (front), "P" for "posterior" (back), "I" for "inferior" (bottom), and "S" for "superior" (top). See the wikipedia page on anatomical coordinate systems for more information. Ordinarily you will see these pairs in order as "LR", "AP", and "IS"; if they are in the opposite order it indicates a direction flip.
