1. Agenda: - Validation Harmonized Protocol: update - Validation vs pathology - Hippocampal Label Expansion project: update - News - Congress presentations - Papers XVIII PMT meeting – June 5, 2013

3. Validation versus pathology 1 tracer (Greg) Segmentation based on Harmonized Protocol: Analysis based on the information available for each dataset and vs Bobinsky’s paper Mayo Clinic AD + CTRL + MCI dataset with pathologically confirmed diagnosis (Braak’s stages), but not postmortem hippocampal measurement Mony DeLeon 15 AD + 5 CTRL at 1.5T postmortem MRI and quantitative histology (possible additional AD cases) (Bobinsky paper on 9 AD+4 NL sbj scanned with Philips) 15 Philips + 18 GE 13 post-mortem 10 post-m T1 PD 50 antem

12. SD received all of the certified labels Tracers are Masters or platform-Qualified. Anyway, exact ICCs across the 5 can be computed using the volumes of the Qualification round. PLATFORM - SD has tech support from PAVI, at Université de Sherbrooke -They are looking into file formats for the contours - SD has scheduled a meeting with the Technical Advisory group Hippocampal Label Expansion project: SD update

13. News: Subfields Group composed by Paul Yushkevich, Susan Mueller and Lei Wang aims to converge hippo-subfields imagers for protocol harmonization. They asked for our participation, to tune the protocols and import harmonizaton methods. We are invited to present the Hippo Harmonization project a-remoto to their HS3 meeting, June 21-2 http://hippos3.wordpress.com/

16. News: Duvernoy Duvernoy explained some unclear anatomy issues and approved: AC-PC standard orientation Inclusion of “vestigial” tissue Choices of the Delphi panel Participation as a coauthor
