We propose a new method, Patch-CNN, for diffusion tensor (DT) estimation from only six-direction diffusion weighted images (DWI). Deep learning-based methods have been recently proposed for dMRI parameter estimation, using either voxel-wise…

Models of diffusion MRI within a voxel are useful for making inferences about the properties of the tissue and inferring fiber orientation distribution used by tractography algorithms. A useful model must fit the data accurately. However,…

White matter tract segmentation is crucial for studying brain structural connectivity and neurosurgical planning. However, segmentation remains challenging due to issues like class imbalance between major and minor tracts, structural…

Tractography has become an indispensable part of brain connectivity studies. However, it is currently facing problems with reliability. In particular, a substantial amount of nerve fiber reconstructions (streamlines) in tractograms produced…

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) data allow to reconstruct the 3D pathways of axons within the white matter of the brain as a tractography. The analysis of tractographies has drawn attention from the machine learning and pattern…

White matter bundle segmentation is a cornerstone of modern tractography to study the brain's structural connectivity in domains such as neurological disorders, neurosurgery, and aging. In this study, we present FIESTA (FIbEr Segmentation…

White matter (WM) tract segmentation is a crucial step for brain connectivity studies. It is performed on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), and deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved promising segmentation accuracy. Existing…

Tractography parcellation classifies streamlines reconstructed from diffusion MRI into anatomically defined fiber tracts for clinical and research applications. However, clinical scans often have incomplete fields of view (FOV) where brain…

Tractography fiber clustering using diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a crucial strategy for white matter (WM) parcellation. Current methods primarily use the geometric information of fibers (i.e., the spatial trajectories) to group similar fibers…

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exploits the anisotropic diffusion of water molecules in the brain to enable the estimation of the brain's anatomical fiber tracts at a relatively high resolution. In particular, tractographic…

One of the main issues of the current tractography methods is their high false-positive rate. Tractogram filtering is an option to remove false-positive streamlines from tractography data in a post-processing step. In this paper, we train a…

Diffusion MRI tractography enables in vivo reconstruction of white matter (WM) pathways. Two key tasks in tractography analysis include: 1) tractogram registration that aligns streamlines across individuals, and 2) streamline clustering…
