Abstract:
|
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) offers a unique opportunity to characterize the structural connectivity of the human brain non-invasively by tracing white matter fiber tracts. Whole brain tractography studies routinely generate up to half million tracts per brain, which serves as edges in an extremely large structural connectivity graph. We explore a possibility of using the constructed connectivity graph as a possible biomarker for characterizing autism. A novel iterative graph building is developed and applied in quantifying the over-connectivity of brain network in autism. Graph measures are correlated with other non-imaging biomarkers that have traditionally characterized autism.
