Our new paper on "Karawun", a software that converts track files (.tck) to DICOM. This allows advanced tractography to be leveraged for presurgical planning and be displayed and used during neurosurgery. link.springer.com/article/10…

Our M-CRIB-WM neonatal parcellated white matter atlas has just been published: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…, and the ten individual parcellated datasets are publicly available here: osf.io/mnwv9/

This atlas contains 54 manually parcellated white matter regions, & is also downloadable combined with the M-CRIB 2.0 whole-brain atlas. Huge thanks to Sarah Yao and everyone involved @claireekelly_ @garedaba @L1L_BRAIN @ParkvilleGeek @ProfLexDoyle @AliciaSpittle @DeanneThompson

In neurosurgical planning, there hasn't been a way to convert state-of-the-art #MRtrix tractography #nifti & tract files to #dicom for use in #Brainlab surgical planning software. So Richard Beare & Joseph Yang have made a free tool, 'Karawun', to do that github.com/DevelopmentalImag…

Here's a screenshot of some converted test #MRtrix #diffusion #tractography data included in the Karawun package, displayed in #Brainlab.

These parcellations have cortical regions compatible with the widely-used Desikan-Killiany (2006) adult brain atlas. The cortical regions in our M-CRIB 2.0 atlas (downloadable here osf.io/4vthr/) are compatible with the Desikan-Killiany-Tourville (2012) adult atlas.

Hey #neonatal #parcellation and #developmental #neuroimaging folks! Here is our newly-publicly-downloadable M-CRIB 2.0 neonatal parcellated brain atlas: osf.io/4vthr/ 🧠✨ Ten individual whole-brain parcellations, T2, and T1 images available, and more to be added soon.

Thanks @L1L_BRAIN, @DrGiraffeBird, @ParkvilleGeek, @AliciaSpittle, @SimonWarfield and all other coauthors (all not on twitter??) for the awesome collaborative effort creating our M-CRIB neonatal brain atlases, and thanks to @MCRI_for_kids.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Rahul Desikan, whose work is so inspirational to so many of us. Condolences to all who knew him. radiology.ucsf.edu/blog/rahu…

Our new M-CRIB 2.0 neonatal parcellated brain atlas: frontiersin.org/articles/10.…. Contains cortical regions compatible with the adult DKT cortical protocol, & subcortical regions updated for greater consistency with FreeSurfer’s subcortical segmentation. #Parcellation #BrainAtlas

Individual parcellated, T2- and T1-weighted images will be publicly available - we’re keenly awaiting some licensing details getting sorted. Keep an eye here, or feel free to contact us if any questions.
Had a great first day at Software Carpentry python course today, thanks @alistairwalsh, @peter_goodin, and helpers, for putting it on! Also it was really nice to be at Swinburne again. So many imaging memories, and such good coffee :)

This was such a great workshop, with heaps of valuable practical advice presented. Thanks Tim and #ACNS2018 folks for organising!
Workshop 3 at #ACNS2018 with such a comprehensive overview of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience! Thank you to Tim Silk, @m_spencersmith Sarah Barton, @silascribbles @BonnieAlexandr Jarrod Lum, Natalia Albien-Urios and all the behind the scenes people!

Today we tried combining our new White Matter M-CRIB neonatal brain atlas (54 WM regions in 10 brains) with the ‘M-CRIB 2.0’ (Basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, & DKT compatible cortical regions). It’s very impressive & very colourful! Sarah Yao has done a bang up job 😊👍
