Retrospective Comparative Analysis of Diffusion Tensor and Constrained Spherical Deconvolution Tractography Models in a Clinical Neurosurgical Navigation Platform. [PDF]
Tractography is a technique for visualizing the trajectories of white matter pathways. The most widely used model, the diffusion tensor imaging, assumes a single fiber orientation within each voxel.

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 ...
