NAMIC Impact on the PNL • Improved processing pipeline (e.g., one-click segmentation). • Advanced analysis of structural data (e.g., shape analysis with spherical harmonics/spherical wavelets; improved statistics). • Advanced analysis of diffusion data (e.g., new tractography methods, clustering and evaluation of tractography results, easier workflow through standardized diffusion format (NRRD)).
