| Abstract(in English) | In this research, we propose the diffusion based tractography (DBT) method as a visualization technique of diffusion tensor fields obtained from diffusion weighted MR images. The DBT method can visualize the diffusion of water molecular along the axon fiber by blurring a random-dot pattern according to the diffusion tensor information. By controlling the anisotropy of the diffusion tensor using the eigenvalue decomposition, it is expected that the visualization of dense fiber tracts and the tracking of planer diffusion resulting from the fiber crossing will be possible, which are difficult in the conventional tractography methods. |
