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. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

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: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…, and the ten individual parcellated datasets are publicly available here: osf.io/mnwv9/

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! rdcu.be/b1bsl @L1L_BRAIN @BonnieAlexandr @claireekelly_ @DrGiraffeBird @m_spencersmith @ParkvilleGeek @ProfLexDoyle @CREnewborn

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 nature.com/articles/s4146…

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 github.com/DevelopmentalI…

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 osf.io/4vthr/) 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: osf.io/2yx8u/. (1/2)

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.

Hey #neonatal #parcellation and #developmental #neuroimaging folks! Here is our newly-publicly-downloadable M-CRIB 2.0 neonatal parcellated brain atlas: osf.io/4vthr/ 🧠✨ Ten individual whole-brain parcellations, T2, and T1 images available, and more to be added soon.

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. radiology.ucsf.edu/blog/rahul-des…

Working with neonatal MRI data? *T106* today for a software demonstration by @DrGiraffeBird of the Surface-based Melbourne Children’s Regional Infant Brain atlas Freesurfer-compatible parcellation of the neonatal cortex w/@BonnieAlexandr #OHBM2019

@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 🧠👌✨

I should have highlighted the role of the MCRIB creator @BonnieAlexandr in this paper. She knows baby brains.

Want a good white matter atlas for neonates? Check out this useful paper from the VIBeS and Developmental Imaging teams... White Matter Extension of the Melbourne Children's Regional Infant Brain Atlas: M-CRIB-WM | #bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Parcellation #BrainAtlas #Neonates

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

New from the team. @BonnieAlexandr @garedaba Parcellation of the cortex using Surface-based Melbourne Children's Regional Infant Brain atlases (M-CRIB-S) | #bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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.

Our new M-CRIB 2.0 neonatal parcellated brain atlas: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…. Contains cortical regions compatible with the adult DKT cortical protocol, & subcortical regions updated for greater consistency with FreeSurfer’s subcortical segmentation. #Parcellation #BrainAtlas

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 :)
