[MINC-users] discussion?

[Daniel Schwarz]

Dear minc-users,
 
I am not sure if the following problem, I would like to introduce here, is
not a little bit off-topic for this mail-list. However, I will try it. I
will appreciate any kind of feedback.
 
In my PhD research and the related thesis I have designed two deformable
registration algorithms, suggesting  to use them in the area of
computational neuroanatomy, i.e. DBM, VBM (with emphasising DBM a little
more). On the other hand, I am aware of the question about the use of
non-linear geometrical transforms in medical applications. I mean the
theoretical unwanted case, when some kind of unsuitable spatial deformation
model is able to perfectly warp two brains, by accident rotated by 90 or 180
degrees......or when a spatial deformation model creates new gyral/sulcal
patterns etc... I am going to defend my thesis in several days and I am
awaiting a discussion of this kind there... My idea is to try the discussion
with anyone interested before the day of defence. I think that someone from
the min-users community might be interested - if not, I am sorry to bother
you all.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Daniel
