Abstract
The directional diffusion information obtained by diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) can be used to noninvasively visualize white matter fibers in human brain. And it is the unique way to reconstruct those fibers in vivo. However, there are some obstacles for the reconstruction process, e.g., partial volume effect caused by low spatial resolution negatively affects the DT-MRI results, and continuous fibers are indicated by the discrete signal on the DT-MRI. A fiber tracking algorithm is proposed in this paper. Major eigenvectors and fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the correlative voxels are used for fiber tracking. As a result, this method shows stronger potential to depict the distribution of white matter fibers in human brain.
