I have DICOM DWI images. What do I need to do to process them in Slicer?

DWI formats are not properly standardized (as of 2010). In many cases, vendors put important information about gradients into the private fields. Our DICOM to NRRD converter has an extensive library of such special cases. Convert your DWI images to a NRRD volume, before beginning the post processing.==

I have streamlines from DTI and would like to find the subset which goes through a particular region

The [Modules:ROISelect-Documentation-3.6|ROI selection module] in Slicer 3.6 allows to filter for streamlines which pass (or do not pass) through label map ROI's
