Abstract:
|
DTI is used in magnetic resonance neuroimaging to non-invasively examine brain microstructure using estimates of the principal diffusion directions of water, captured at each voxel in a 3D map of a brain. Typical DTI analysis decomposes the tensor matrix into several summary statistics, each of which represents a different aspect of water diffusion, and each of which is mapped to a brain template and analyzed separately with standard linear models with either false discovery rate or type I error rate correction. Following a brief introduction to the collection of DTI data, typical approaches will be described and illustrated.
