An atlas of white matter anatomy, its variability, and reproducibility based on constrained spherical deconvolution of diffusion MRI [PDF]
Virtual dissection of white matter (WM) using diffusion MRI tractography is confounded by its poor reproducibility. Despite the increased adoption of advanced reconstruction models, early region-of-interest driven protocols based on diffusion tensor ...
