XVIII PMT meeting – June 5, 2013 • Agenda: • Validation Harmonized Protocol: update • Validation vs pathology • Hippocampal Label Expansion project: update • - News • Congress presentations • Papers
Validation versus pathology 1 tracer (Greg) Mony DeLeon 15 AD + 5 CTRL at 1.5T postmortem MRI and quantitative histology (possible additional AD cases) (Bobinsky paper on 9 AD+4 NL sbj scanned with Philips) Mayo Clinic AD + CTRL + MCI dataset with pathologically confirmed diagnosis (Braak’s stages), but not postmortem hippocampal measurement 15 Philips + 18 GE 13 post-mortem 10 post-m T1 PD 50 antem Segmentation based on Harmonized Protocol: Analysis based on the information available for each dataset and vs Bobinsky’s paper

Hippocampal Label Expansion project: update Subjects = 135 Hippocampi = 270 MRI tracer tracing QC/correction Certification 68/68 1.5 T Masami Complete I-II Complete (67 3T) 30/30 Dominik Complete I-II Complete 12/12 Rossana Complete I-II Complete 10/10 Martina Complete I-II Complete 15/15 Michel Complete I-II Complete
Hippocampal Label Expansion project: SD update • SD received all of the certified labels • Tracers are Masters or platform-Qualified. Anyway, exact ICCs across the 5 can be computed using the volumes of the Qualification round. • PLATFORM • SD has tech support from PAVI, at Université de Sherbrooke • They are looking into file formats for the contours • - SD has scheduled a meeting with the Technical Advisory group
News: Subfields Group composed by Paul Yushkevich, Susan Mueller and Lei Wang aims to converge hippo-subfields imagers for protocol harmonization. They asked for our participation, to tune the protocols and import harmonizaton methods. We are invited to present the Hippo Harmonization project a-remoto to their HS3 meeting, June 21-2 http://hippos3.wordpress.com/
News: Duvernoy Duvernoy explained some unclear anatomy issues and approved: AC-PC standard orientation Inclusion of “vestigial” tissue Choices of the Delphi panel Participation as a coauthor
