    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimaging
    • Computational Neuroscience
    • Medical Image Analysis

    Background:

    • Whole-brain tractograms from diffusion MRI model brain white matter structure.
    • Tractograms often contain false positive and anatomically implausible streamlines.
    • Accurate streamline data is crucial for understanding brain connectivity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce FiberNeat, an unsupervised method for filtering white matter tractograms.
    • To enhance the anatomical relevance and quality of streamlines for tract extraction.
    • To improve tractometry by refining tractogram data.

    Main Methods:

    • FiberNeat employs nonlinear dimensionality reduction (t-SNE, UMAP) to project streamlines into a latent space.
    • Outlier streamlines and clusters are identified and removed using DBSCAN.
    • The method was applied to diffusion MRI data from 131 ADNI3 participants.

    Main Results:

    • FiberNeat effectively identifies and removes spurious and outlier streamlines.
    • Quantitative comparisons with expert-delineated tracts demonstrate improved accuracy.
    • Applying FiberNeat as a post-segmentation filter enhances extracted tract quality.

    Conclusions:

    • FiberNeat offers an unsupervised approach to improve white matter tractogram quality.
    • The method enhances the reliability of streamline data for neuroscience research.
    • FiberNeat contributes to more accurate tractometry and brain connectivity analysis.
