Containers
Behind the scenes of NeuroDesk : What we learned so far in building and distributing containers in a community driven fashion
These are the slides for the talk I gave at the ARCOS Symposium in November 2021:

QSMxT: Robust masking and artifact reduction for quantitative susceptibility mapping
Our article “QSMxT: Robust masking and artifact reduction for quantitative susceptibility mapping” was just published in MRM 🙂 In this article we developed an automated, scalable, and robust QSM workflow that starts from Dicom images and produces segmentations of regions of interest: The full paper is here (unfortunately behind a Read more…

Neurodesk at the ANZ ISMRM reproducibility workshop
We had the fantastic opportunity to present the neurodesk project in today’s ANZ ISMRM reproducibility workshop. The 50 participants across Australia got to see the first live demo of the project and I am glad everything worked out and ran smoothly 🙂 We will post the recordings as soon as Read more…

QSMxT preprint
Our latest preprint describes the QSMxT pipeline developed by Ashley Stewart – a CIBIT PhD student in our team: QSMxT enables robust & automated quantitative susceptibility mapping and extraction of quantitative information from regions of interest. The code can be found here: https://github.com/QSMxT/QSMxT The preprint is here: QSMxT: Robust Masking Read more…

World wide mirrors and load balancing for NeuroDesk Containers
Although NeuroDesk is still a young project we already have users outside of Australia. This led to a few problems: our singularity containers are stored on Swift object storage on the Nectar Research Cloud and users outside of Australia saw very slow downloads of the containers there is only a Read more…

Applying Deep Learning Models to Medical Imaging Data – Problems, Pitfalls, Solutions – A tutorial
For this year’s AICI artificial intelligence in clinical imaging forum I prepared a tutorial for applying deep learning models to medical imaging data. It was very interesting to prepare the tutorial and see what models exist and how difficult it still is to make them work with real data. Here Read more…

Neurodesk talk at eResearch Australasia conference
This week I attended the eResearch Australasia conference and gave a talk about our little hackathon project that started at the OHBM Brainhack this year: https://github.com/NeuroDesk/. In a nutshell, we are trying to make it a lot easier to use neuroimaging software packages with the help of containers. The feedback Read more…

Containers for neuroscience at OHBM Brainhack Trainhack 2020
Tom Shaw and I prepared a talk for this year’s OHBM Brainhack Trainhack where we show what containers are and how to use them for neuroscience applications. We cover docker and singularity and show how to build and run containers on different computing platforms. Video: Code to hack along: https://hackmd.io/ep87sx8ERMWFYc4D0FisRw Read more…

High performance Science talk at the Linux conference Australia 2018
Thanks to Tomas I submitted an abstract to the Linux conference Australia and I was very lucky that I was invited to present. This was my first Linux conference and it was a great experience – all talks I saw had a very high quality and I learned a lot Read more…
