This project focuses on enhancing the Slicer software by integrating a GPU-powered tube visualization feature within the tractography module. The implementation includes a simple filter that transforms input PolyData into degenerate quads. Utilizing vertex and fragment programs, the visualization renders a smooth curved tube surface. Key challenges faced include compiling with VTK 5.1 and debugging DTMRI processes. The collaboration involves experts from MGH, Northwestern, BWH, and MIT, with the goal to finalize integration and debugging by the end of Programming Week.

EPI to MR Registration:Integrating a GPU Tube Visualization for the Tractography Module within Slicer Plan/Expected Challenges/Publication Team Algorithms: a simple filter which converts all lines in the input PolyData to degenerate quads. A vertex program puts the vertices of the quad at the right place, and then a fragment program renders this quad like a curved tube surface.
