ADDITIONAL MATERIALS FOR THIS
SESSION:
Learn how to use various fMRI and diffusion data analysis packages.
Experts in these packages will be demonstrating their use and answering
questions. fMRI and diffusion datasets are being provided ahead of the
Toronto ISMRM Meeting so that anyone interested in attending this course
can start to play with some data before they come to the session. The
fMRI analysis packages that will be showcased will be FSL, SPM and AFNI.
The diffusion analysis packages that will be showcased will be FSL,
Camino, MR Trix, Track Vis, and MRI Studio. ISMRM attendees are
encouraged to play with some of the provided data using their favourite
package ahead of the ISMRM meeting, and may even submit questions in
advance of the meeting. To find out more about the packages and to
obtain instructions on how to download the data and what to do with it,
please click here.
Overview
fMRI and diffusion datasets will be made available in advance to
attendees of the ISMRM Annual Meeting. Attendees of the Annual Meeting
are invited to download the data and analyse it using their favourite
freeware software package, submitting a summary of their data ahead of
the Annual Meeting. A range of respondents will be invited to present
their analysis of the data. This will be followed by a panel discussion
that includes invited developers of the software to take questions from
the audience on any difficulties encountered. Any differences in the
resulting analyses will also be discussed.
Target Audience
Clinicians and basic scientists who wish to start using fMRI and/or
diffusion analysis software. A basic understanding of fMRI and/or DTI
will be assumed, and all attendees are strongly encouraged to download
the example datasets and try analyzing them before the meeting.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
• Summarize the different fMRI data packages that are available;
• Successfully analyze a provided dataset with at least one fMRI
package;
• Compare the different diffusion analysis packages that are available;
and
• Successfully analyze a provided dataset with at least one diffusion
package.
