Cloud based Interactive Visualization of Tractography Brain Connectome (CIVILITY) is an interactive visualization tool of brain connectome in the cloud. This application submits tasks to remote computing grids were the CIVILITY-tractography pipeline is deployed. The application will list the running tasks for the user and once a task is completed the brain connectome is visualized using Hierarchical Edge Bundling. The analysis pipeline uses FSL tools (bedpostx and probtrackx2) to generate a triangular matrix indicating the connectivity strength between different regions in the brain. This work is motivated by medical applications in which expensive computational tasks such as brain connectivity is needed and to provide a state of the art visualization tool of Brain Connectome. This work does not contribute any novelty with respect to the visualization methodology, is rather a new resource for the neuroimaging community. This work is submitted to the SPIE Biomedical Applications in Molecular, Structural, and Functional Imaging conference. The source code of this application is available in NITRC.
基于云的纤维束成像脑连接组交互式可视化(CIVILITY)是一种云端脑连接组交互式可视化工具。此应用程序将任务提交到部署了CIVILITY纤维束成像管道的远程计算网格。该应用程序会为用户列出正在运行的任务,任务一旦完成,就会使用分层边捆绑技术对脑连接组进行可视化。分析管道使用FSL工具(bedpostx和probtrackx2)生成一个三角矩阵,指示大脑不同区域之间的连接强度。这项工作的动机来自于医学应用,其中需要诸如脑连接性等昂贵的计算任务,并提供一种先进的脑连接组可视化工具。这项工作在可视化方法方面没有任何新颖之处,而是为神经成像社区提供了一种新资源。这项工作已提交给SPIE分子、结构和功能成像中的生物医学应用会议。此应用程序的源代码可在NITRC上获取。
