Our new paper on "Karawun", a software that converts track files (.tck) to DICOM. This allows advanced tractography to be leveraged for presurgical planning and be displayed and used during neurosurgery. https://t.co/8pG44MCIPU

This atlas contains 54 manually parcellated white matter regions, & is also downloadable combined with the M-CRIB 2.0 whole-brain atlas. Huge thanks to Sarah Yao and everyone involved @claireekelly_ @garedaba @L1L_BRAIN @ParkvilleGeek @ProfLexDoyle @AliciaSpittle @DeanneThompson

Our M-CRIB-WM neonatal parcellated white matter atlas has just been published: https://t.co/fGmkoTCGeG, and the ten individual parcellated datasets are publicly available here: https://t.co/bVSJJ5ngJJ

Our new paper on regional brain growth in children born very preterm & at term is the culmination of 15 years work from our amazing team! https://t.co/XDZeAhNpT5

Our new @NatureComms paper on regional brain growth in children born very preterm and at term. A huge collaborative effort by @DeanneThompson & @L1L_BRAIN @claireekelly_ @DrGiraffeBird @m_spencersmith @ParkvilleGeek @ProfLexDoyle @CREnewborn https://t.co/vmXN5p1Wa6

Here's a screenshot of some converted test #MRtrix #diffusion #tractography data included in the Karawun package, displayed in #Brainlab.

In neurosurgical planning, there hasn't been a way to convert state-of-the-art #MRtrix tractography #nifti & tract files to #dicom for use in #Brainlab surgical planning software. So Richard Beare & Joseph Yang have made a free tool, 'Karawun', to do that https://t.co/5Tps05rONM

These parcellations have cortical regions compatible with the widely-used Desikan-Killiany (2006) adult brain atlas. The cortical regions in our M-CRIB 2.0 atlas (downloadable here https://t.co/q6MpqXRoqZ) are compatible with the Desikan-Killiany-Tourville (2012) adult atlas.

Hi again #neonatal #neuroimaging and #parcellation folks! Here are newly-publicly-downloadable individual whole-brain parcellations for our *original* M-CRIB neonatal brain atlas: https://t.co/A9W1ZMt8RC. (1/2)

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

Thanks @L1L_BRAIN, @DrGiraffeBird, @ParkvilleGeek, @AliciaSpittle, @SimonWarfield and all other coauthors (all not on twitter??) for the awesome collaborative effort creating our M-CRIB neonatal brain atlases, and thanks to @MCRI_for_kids.

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

Hey #neonatal #parcellation and #developmental #neuroimaging folks! Here is our newly-publicly-downloadable M-CRIB 2.0 neonatal parcellated brain atlas: https://t.co/q6MpqY8Zix 🧠✨ Ten individual whole-brain parcellations, T2, and T1 images available, and more to be added soon.

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

Very sad to hear of the passing of Rahul Desikan, whose work is so inspirational to so many of us. Condolences to all who knew him. https://t.co/0FZX1Qre1q

Working with neonatal MRI data?

*T106* today for a software demonstration by @DrGiraffeBird of the Surface-based Melbourne Children’s Regional Infant Brain atlas

@ParkvilleGeek Aw thank you but I think credit needs to go to Sarah Yao, Joseph Yang, and Michelle Wu (all not yet on twitter) on this one! They know white matter 🧠👌✨

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

Our new multi-subject neonatal parcellated white matter atlas, the M-CRIB-WM, up on bioRxiv. Some meticulous work by Dr Sarah Yao and colleagues! https://t.co/1LfDtTpqv4 #Parcellation #BrainAtlas #Neonates

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

@ParkvilleGeek @garedaba And @DrGiraffeBird, if he’s around on the twitters still :)

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

Individual parcellated, T2- and T1-weighted images will be publicly available - we’re keenly awaiting some licensing details getting sorted. Keep an eye here, or feel free to contact us if any questions.

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

Our new M-CRIB 2.0 neonatal parcellated brain atlas: https://t.co/XweVkSOQuQ. Contains cortical regions compatible with the adult DKT cortical protocol, & subcortical regions updated for greater consistency with FreeSurfer’s subcortical segmentation. #Parcellation #BrainAtlas

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

Had a great first day at Software Carpentry python course today, thanks @alistairwalsh, @peter_goodin, and helpers, for putting it on! Also it was really nice to be at Swinburne again. So many imaging memories, and such good coffee :)
