TOWARDS POPULATION BASED CHARACTERIZATION OF NEURONAL FIBER PATHWAYS WITH DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING

Diffusion tensor imaging has been widely used to reconstruct neuronal fibers in the human brain. Studying these fibers often requires them to be grouped into bundles that correspond to coherent anatomic structures. Several fiber bundling methods are proposed and evaluated in this work. A unified fib...
