Module Description
As a main purpose, the stochastic tractography module helps to evaluate connectivity in the White Matter between two regions of interest (ROIs) of the Grey Matter of the brain. These ROIs define grey matter regions ensuring a specific neurophysiological function. Extensively, study involving more than two regions could still be done by pairing the regions two by two and computing them separetely to finally gather the results.
Usage
- You want to study fiber path from a single region of interest (ROI)
- You want to evaluate connectivity between two ROIs
