摘要: Conventional and morphometric magnetic resonance (MR) techniques provide an accurate representation of the brain’s anatomy at a macroscopic scale, but they do not information on topography white matter bundles. The study anisotropic diffusion water molecules (diffusion tensor imaging; DTI) tractography (fibre tracking) data microscopic organization allow reconstruction fibre bundles using diffusion-weighted MR images. Since is currently sole method affording non-invasive 3D architecture axons in vivo, herein we illustrate main methods for modelling images performing tractography. Finally, discuss their enormous potential current limitations.
