DTI Quantitative Tract Analysis

This project proposes a framework for quantitative analysis of DTI data. The framework uses the full tensor information for statistical analysis using the affine-invariant Riemannian metric for defining operations such as interpolation and averaging on tensors. Furtheremore, the results of tractography are used to provide a reference coordinate system the respresents the underlying structure of fiber bundles. The tract modeling framework includes a model both of the geometry of the fiber bundle and of the diffusion properties along the bundle. A new anisotropy measure called geodesic anisotropy (GA) is also included in the framework.
