We present an open-source software suite, SlicerDMRI (dmri.slicer.org), that enables neurosurgical planning research using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). SlicerDMRI is built upon and deeply integrated with 3D Slicer, an NIH-supported open-source platform for medical image informatics, image processing, and three-dimensional visualization. In this work, we give a demonstration of SlicerDMRI to enable end-to-end dMRI analyses in two retrospective imaging datasets from patients with high-grade glioma. Analyses demonstrated here include conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analysis, advanced multi-fiber tractography, automated identification of critical fiber tracts, and integration of multimodal imagery with dMRI.
