It implements a state-of-the-art registration algorithm that drives the alignment of white matter (WM) tracts by matching the orientation of the underlying fiber bundle at each voxel. The algorithm has been shown to both improve WM tract alignment and to enhance the power of statistical inference in clinical settings. The key features include: . - NIfTI support for scalar, vector and DTI volumes - tool chains for manipulating DTI volumes: resampling, smoothing, warping, registration & visualization - pipelines for WM morphometry: spatial normalization & atlas construction for population-based studies - built-in cluster-computing support - interoperability with other major DTI tools: AFNI, Camino, DTIStudio & FSL Published-Title: Deformable registration of diffusion tensor MR images with explicit orientation optimization Published-Authors: H Zhang, P A Yushkevich, D C Alexander, and J C Gee Published-In: Medical Image Analysis - Special Issue: The Eighth International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer Assisted intervention - MICCAI 2005, 10(5):764-785 Published-Year: 2006 Published-DOI: 10.1016/j.media.2006.06.004
