Area of Science:

Neuroimaging
Medical Physics
Computational Neuroscience

Background:

Estimating white matter fiber pathways using diffusion tensor MRI (dMRI) is crucial for medical research.
Selecting specific fiber tracts for population studies is currently time-consuming and prone to errors.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an automated method for selecting white matter fiber tracts.
To improve the efficiency and accuracy of ROI-based tractography analysis.

Main Methods:

The proposed method represents fibers by their orientation at the closest point to the ROI centroid.
This approach facilitates automated tractography segmentation.

Main Results:

The new method was tested on two real-world fiber tract selection problems.
Results demonstrated the method's effectiveness and simplicity.

Conclusions:

The developed technique offers a simple and effective tool for automated fiber tract selection.
This can significantly aid population studies relying on dMRI data.
