| Abstract | Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) is the first noninvasive in vivo imaging modality with the potential to generate fiber tract trajectories in soft fibrous tissues, such as the brain white matter. Several newly developed fiber reconstruction and tractography techniques based on DT-MRI are reviewed in this article, including streamline fiber tracking techniques, diffusion tensor deflection strategy, probabilistic Monte-Carlo method, fast marching tractography based on level set principles, and diffusion simulation-based tractography. We also discuss some potential applications of DT-MRI fiber tractography and list a few available tractography and visualization software packages. Key words: Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging, fiber tractography, streamline tracking, anisotropic diffusion simulation 1. Introduction to DT-MRI The complexity of the human brain presents tremendous challenges in in vivo understanding its inter-structure and functionality. The nature of the human brain imposes substantial difficulty in |
