Dear MITK Users:
The MITK Diffusion team in association with theISMRM Diffusion Study
Group is sponsoring a novel Fiber Tractography Challenge to stimulate an
interactive discussion on diffusion reconstruction and tractography
methods at this year’s study group meeting at ISMRM 2015 in Toronto. The
Challenge will use a simulated but highly realistic diffusion-weighted
dataset in which 26 specific white matter bundles have been used to
generate synthetic data that awaits your processing and analysis.
The Challenge, developed by diffusion experts
*Peter Neher, Jean-Christophe Houde, Emmanuel Caruyer, Alessandro
Daducci, Tim Dyrby, Klaus Maier-Hein, Bram Stieltjes, and Maxime Descoteaux*
has been designed to emulate clinically-realistic acquisition. Several
common artifacts have been introduced in the data to probe the strengths
and limitations of your processing pipelines. All entries will receive
individualized feedback and statistics comparing their results to the
ground truth white matter bundles. A discussion of the methods and
results will be held at the DSG meeting at ISMRM 2015, scheduled for
/Monday June 1 from 4:30-6:30pm in Reception Hall 105/.
For additional details, including information about the data, evaluation
methods, and submission procedures, and to download the data, please
visit the challenge website at
http://www.tractometer.org/ismrm_2015_challenge/
An ISMRM virtual conference (date soon to be announced) will be held to
present the Challenge, and one full hour of the study group meeting in
Toronto will be dedicated to discussion and result presentations.
Further questions regarding the challenge should be directed to

We look forward to seeing you in Toronto.
Ready, track, go!
The MITK Diffusion team
