Stochastic Tractography Progress

Status

Stochastic tractography requires careful maintenance and on-going development improving its usability and performance. 
A - Development of tractography workflow 
  • (a) DWI image loading
   (b) WM mask & ROIs creation
   (c) tensor estimation & visualization (this step is somewhat hidden)
   (d) tracts reconstruction & visualization (should be useful to see tracts and not only the connectivity map)  
   (e) connectivity maps creation & visualization
B - Visualization of diffusion properties - test utilities 
  • (a) reveal more features related to diffusion - develop visualization
   (b) finalize batch - testing different parameters of the stochastic tractography with different datasets - wrap up of the results
C – Study of limit cases (tract reconstruction issue) 
  • (a) sensitivity to inputs (WM/ROIs) if exist - needing criteria definition and algorithmic extensions
   (b) further algorythmic extensions if needed for dealing with specific reconstruction cases (tracts with multiple branches)

Updates/Progress

A - Development of tractography workflow 
B - Visualization of diffusion properties 
C – Study of limit cases (tract reconstruction issue)
