Prerequisites • Slicer Training Slicer Training 1: Loading and Viewing Data • Slicer Advanced Modules Slicer Training 2: Manual Segmentation http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Slicer:Workshops:User_Training_101
Overview of Training 4 • Part 1: Loading and Converting DTI Data • Part 2: Computing Fractional Anisotropy • Part 3: Manual Tractography • Part 4: Automatic Tractography • Part 5: Use Case
Loading DTI Data Slicer can load • DWI Volumes ……………………. • Tensors…………………………… • Tracts……………………………… • DTI Scenes ……………………….
Loading Slicer Sample DTI data Select the Volumes Module Select the Props Panel Use the Basic Reader Click File Browse Pick the first file D.001 Select ImageHeader: Auto Click Apply
Loading Slicer Sample DTI data The DWI images appear in the Viewer
Loading Slicer Sample DTI data Observe the axial slices using the slider
Loading Slicer Sample DTI data The white strips correspond to an oblique acquisition.
Acquisition protocol The Slicer DTI Sample Data were acquired at Brigham and Women’s Hospital with the protocol BWH_6g.1bSlice corresponding to: • n=6 gradients • Gradients directions = {0.707107 0.707107 0} , {0 0.707107 0.707107 }, {0.707107 0 0.707107 }, {0 0.707107 -0.707107 }, {0.707107 -0.707107 0}, {-0.707107 0 0.707107} • Gradient order: Slice interleaved • b=1 baseline • B-value = 750
Loading Original DTI data Left click onAxialand select AxiSlice in the Menu
Loading Original DTI data The original Axial slice appears in the Viewer.
Loading Original DTI data Browse the original axial slices corresponding to the baseline. Example: display the slice 111
Loading Original DTI data Observe the baseline
Loading Original DTI data Browse the original axial slices corresponding to the gradients Example: display the slices 112 to 117
Loading Original DTI data The 6 gradients appear in the viewer.
Loading Original DTI data Left click onSagittal,select SagSlice Left click on Coronal,select CorSlice
Loading Original DTI data Observe the original data in the Sagittal and Coronal viewers

Tracts Color Display Left-click on Color A Color selection panel appears Double click on a new color
Create a single tract Position the mouse on a point inside the corpus callosum, and hit the s key.
Create a single tract A tract appears in the 3D Viewer. Drag right mouse button down in the 3D Viewer to zoom in.
Create a single tract The 3D window shows a closer view of the tract. Click on the V buttons
Create a single tract Slicer displays the slices in the 3D window. Drag left mouse button in the 3D Viewer to rotate the volume, Drag right mouse button to zoom in, until you get to a convenient view.
Generate Multiple Tracts Position the mouse on different points in the corpus callosum and hit the s key.
Generate Multiple Tracts The tracts that correspond to the visited points appear in the 3D Viewer.
Generate Multiple Tracts Hold the s key down and drag the mouse in the corpus callosum
Generate Multiple Tracts Multiple tracts are generated for each point visited by the mouse.
