Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)has becoms a powerful tool for analyzing the structure of nerve bundles in white matter. However, there are still problems to investigate the connectivity of the nerve bundles. Solving problems, we consider a scalar potential field using several characteristics of the diffusion tensor extracted from DTI. In such field, we give the high potential where the nerve bundle exists. Then we propose the method to estimate the connectivity of the nerve bundles between any two points in the field. We also apply the method to the clinical data.
