Notes:
DTI-TK is a spatial normalization & atlas construction toolkit,
designed from ground up to support the manipulation of
diffusion-tensor (DT) images with special cares taken to respect
the tensorial nature of the data. It implements a state-of-the-art
registration algorithm that drives the alignment of white matter
(WM) tracts by matching the orientation of the underlying fiber
bundle at each voxel, information available uniquely to DT images.
The algorithm has been shown to both improve WM tract alignment and
to enhance the power of statistical inference in clinical settings.
The key features include:
1) open standard-based file IO support: NIfTI format for scalar,
vector and tensor image volumes
2) tool chains for manipulating tensor image volumes: resampling,
smoothing, warping, registration & visualization
3) pipelines for WM morphometry: spatial normalization & atlas
construction for population-based studies
4) built-in cluster-computing support
5) binaries available for Linux and Mac OSX
- The Mac OSX universal binary package supports all current mac
platforms (10.6+): 32-bit intel, and 64-bit intel.
- The Linux binary packages are compiled on CentOS 4.7 but should
be compatible on CentOS 5.x as well provided backward compatible
libraries are installed.

(dti_template_bootstrap)
* Consolidated scalar and tensorial volume processing tools (SVtool
and TVtool)

* Tractography tools (SingleTensorFT and TractTool)
* Feature sampling in the medial-surface (skeleton) based geometry
models
04/30/09 - release 1.2

nan values when registering certain images (e.g. when one of the
images is identically zero)
03/26/09 -- release 1.1
* Added rsvDSM2D, a new scalar image registration routine
constraint to finding 2D rigid transformation: translation and
rotation in the xy image plane
* Added ImageQuickLook, a new image utility that will take a scalar
image and produce an orthogonal view of the image in png, great for
quality control!
03/23/09 -- release 1.0.1
