| Challenges using Streamline Tractography
to Extract Cingulum dashed-line = ground truth (1) streamlines terminate before the bend  (2) streamlines leak out of the cingulum  |
| Modeling Statistics of Tensors in Fiber
Bundles Tensors in fiber bundles can lie on arbitrary hyper-surfaces in the Riemannian space of diffusion tensors (i.e. SPD matrices).  We infer the probability density function of the tensors via kernel density estimation in the Riemannian space. The density estimates can be shown to converge by combining results from the (i) Log-Euclidean framework [Arsigny et al.] and (ii) kernel density estimation [Pelletier et al.] |
| Segmentation Results Initialize via (i) probabilistic atlas (3D) or (ii) manually (one slice suffices)   |
| Comparing Tractography and Segmentation (1) streamline tractography  (2) segmentation  |
