Mouse Brain Simulations part 1:

After meetings at CAI and separately with Nyoman I have been working on processing the mouse brain data to simulate some tumours.  Initial results were flawed, after  a second attempt, where I understood the orientation and data better, I have produced a first simulation.

The anisotropy and diffusion are very apparent in this, presumably due to the much higher resolution images and more defined tracts.

Next step will be to compare this to tractography and make some slices, also repeat the process with the other mouse brain data Nyoman gave me.

A 7T Human image would be fantastic next.

EDIT:  I realised that the max tumour cell concentration was completely wrong as the human value had been used and the voxel size is 11680 times smaller in the mouse scan!

Hence the max tumour cell conc/voxel is around 20 in the mice scan using the same parameters.  Running this data now.
