The parcellation of the cortex via its anatomical properties has been an important research
endeavor for over a century. To date, however, a universally accepted parcellation scheme …

Brain tractography techniques utilize a set of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images
to reconstruct white matter tracts, non-invasively and in-vivo. Streamline tracking techniques …

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) allows non-invasive investigation of
whole-brain connectivity, which can reveal the brain's global network architecture and also …

The success of diffusion MRI is deeply rooted in the fact that during their micrometric random
displacements water molecules explore tissue microstructure. Hence by labeling …

Diffusion MRI tractography produces massive sets of streamlines that need to be clustered
into anatomically meaningful white-matter bundles. Conventional clustering techniques …

When investigating connectivity and microstructure of white matter pathways of the brain
using diffusion tractography bundle segmentation, it is important to understand potential …

This chapter leads the reader through the scaffold of validation studies that have been
carried out with the aim of supporting tractography. We start with software and physical …

Diffusion MRI streamlines tractography allows for the investigation of the brain white matter
pathways non-invasively. However a fundamental limitation of this technology is its non …

Despite several previous attempts, histological validation of diffusion-weighted magnetic
resonance imaging (DW-MRI)-based tractography as true axonal fiber pathways remains …

Tractography is an important technique that allows the in vivo reconstruction of structural
connections in the brain using diffusion MRI. Although tracking algorithms have improved …
