Abstract:

High angular resonance diffusion imaging (HARDI) is a popular in-vivo neuroimaging technique used by clinicians for understanding the anatomy of neural fiber structure inside a live human brain. We develop a minimax bound for the integral curve estimator of neural fibers that has an optimal width. Using this minimax bound, we also develop a novel method to compare different neuroimaging protocols. We discuss some interesting simulation results and finally implement this methodology on the HARDI data obtained from a live human brain.
