= Software =
* Algorithms written in ITK. GUI of prototype software written in QT ('''FiberViewer''' software). Prototype software tested in clinical studies at UNC. Validation tests with repeated DTI of same subject (6 cases).  [http://www.ia.unc.edu/dev/download/fibertracking/index.htm| FiberTracking download]
* Additionally available: ITK compatible fibertracking prototype tool '''FiberTracking''' to be used to study overlap/dissimilarity with other tools already available to NA-MIC: Functionality: reads raw MRI-DT data (6 direction Basser scheme), fiber tracking based on user-selected source and regions (S. Mori scheme), display of fibertracts and volumetric data, output: sets of streamlines in ITK polyline format attributedwith DTI properties and display parameteres (radiusof tubes, local color, etc.).
