Extension Description

DTIProcess is a DTI processing and analysis toolkit developed in UNC and University of Utah. Tools in this toolkit include:

  • dtiestim: tool that takes in a set of DWIs in nrrd format and estimates a tensor field out of it. It also has many useful options.
  • dtiprocess: tool that handles tensor fields
  • maxcurvature: computes Hessian of an image. Typically the input image is a Fractional Anisotropy (FA) image
  • dtiaverage (Should be used in a command line): program that allows to compute the average of an arbitrary number of tensor fields
  • fibertrack: program that implements a simple streamline tractography method based on the principal eigenvector of the tensor field
  • fiberprocess: tool that manage fiber files extracted from the fibertrack tool or any fiber tracking algorithm
  • fiberstats: program that prints out some statistics computed on a fiber bundle
  • A couple other tools that are included in the package and that are not CLI compatible
