The effect of atlas selection on voxel based analyses of DTI data
Introduction: In recent years, voxel based analysis (VBA) studies have demonstrated the potential of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to detect white matter (WM) damage in patients with various neurological or psychiatric disorders. In VBA, all DTI data sets are transformed to an atlas or template, whereafter the diffusion measures of control subjects and patients are evaluated in each voxel. In ...

متن کاملOn the construction of an inter-subject diffusion tensor magnetic resonance atlas of the healthy human brain
Voxel based morphometry (VBM) has been increasingly applied to detect diffusion tensor (DT) image abnormalities in patients for different pathologies. An important requisite for a robust VBM analysis is the availability of a high-dimensional non-rigid coregistration technique that is able to align both the spatial and the orientational DT information. Consequently, there is a need for an inter-...
متن کاملEvaluating consistency of deterministic streamline tractography in non-linearly warped DTI data
Tractography is typically performed for each subject using the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data in its native subject space rather than in some space common to the entire study cohort. Despite performing tractography on a population average in a normalized space, the latter is considered less favorably at the individual subject level because it requires spatial transformations of DTI data th...
متن کاملComparing isotropic and anisotropic smoothing for voxel-based DTI analyses: A simulation study.
Voxel-based analysis (VBA) methods are increasingly being used to compare diffusion tensor image (DTI) properties across different populations of subjects. Although VBA has many advantages, its results are highly dependent on several parameter settings, such as those from the coregistration technique applied to align the data, the smoothing kernel, the statistics, and the post-hoc analyses. In ...
