Team: Raul San Jose Estepar (BWH), Josh Snyder (MGH), Gordon Kindlmann (BWH), C-F Westin (BWH), Dave Tuch (MGH)

Fig. 1. Q-ball image (axial orientation) rendered in Slicer. The orbital at each voxel depicts the local diffusion orientation distribution function (ODF). The diffusion ODF can resolve multiple intravoxel diffusion orientations.

Fig. 2. Magnified view of Fig. 1. The green ODFs deflecting laterally are the internal capsule. The green ODFs at top center are anterior cingulate white matter. The anterior cingulate fibers are seen to cross the anterior-laterally directed (red) fibers from the genu of the corpus callosum.
