Abstract. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) provides voxel-wise information related to the local diffusion anisotropy. Recent research efforts have centered around the use of this inf...
We have developed a method for forming vascular atlases using vascular distance maps and a novel vascular model-to-image registration method. Our atlas formation process begins wit...
