Exploring Connectivity of the Brain's White Matter with Dynamic Queries
2005
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
Abstract-Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging method that can be used to measure local information about the structure of white matter within the human brain. ...
Combining DTI data with the computational methods of MR tractography, neuroscientists can estimate the locations and sizes of nerve bundles (white matter pathways) that course through the human brain. ...

Exploration of the Brain's White Matter Structure through Visual Abstraction and Multi-Scale Local Fiber Tract Contraction
2015
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
We present a visualization technique for brain fiber tracts from DTI data that provides insight into the structure of white matter through visual abstraction. ...
We achieve this abstraction by analyzing the local similarity of tract segment directions at different scales using a stepwise increase of the search range. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank Cris Lanting and Pim van Dijk from the Neu-roImaging Center in Groningen, the Netherlands, for the brain dataset used in this paper. ...

Greater than the sum of its parts: a review of studies combining structural connectivity and resting-state functional connectivity
2009
Brain Structure and Function
We discuss eight articles that directly compare resting-state functional connectivity with structural connectivity and three clinical case studies of patients with limited white matter connections between ...
In this review we aim to examine how our understanding of the relationship between structure and function in the 'resting' brain has advanced over the last several years. ...

Connectivity-based structural and functional parcellation of the human cortex using diffusion imaging and tractography
2012
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
In the current review, we explore the use of in vivo diffusion imaging and white matter tractography as a non-invasive method for the structural and functional parcellation of the human cerebral cortex ...
Cortical parcellation via white matter connectivity is based on the premise that, as connectional anatomy determines functional organization, it should be possible to segregate functionally-distinct cortical ...
Indeed, cellular lamination patterns and white matter connectivity profiles are but two of the brain's architectural elements which may be used to demarcate regions of specialization. ...

The Fiber Laterality Histogram: A New Way to Measure White Matter Asymmetry
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Methods for quantifying white matter asymmetry using diffusion MRI tractography have thus far been based on comparing numbers of fibers or volumes of a single fiber tract across hemispheres. ...
We propose a generalization of such methods, where the "number of fibers" laterality measurement is extended to the entire brain using a soft fiber comparison metric. ...
However, results have been inconsistent across studies, and much of the brain's white matter has not been systematically explored. ...
