DTI Quality Control - Part 4: Further reading
Analysis of diffusion images are complicated by the fact that errors can be easily hidden inside the calculated tensor data and not clearly show up in your final processed FA image. Quality control is...

A recent question came up on the forum that was concerned with isotropic versus non-isotropic voxel sizes:Hi, I am trying to process some DTI data using FSL for TBSS or Voxel based comparison. I am...
View ArticleDTI Tutorial 1 - From Scanner to Tensor
Starting out with data analysis often seems like a daunting task, as there are innumerable software packages with sometimes poor documentation. To make this process easier and help you get started with...
View ArticleThe diffusion tensor, and its relation to FA, MD, AD and RD
In DTI 101 we described how diffusion tensor imaging estimates brain microstructure by modeling diffusion of water in the brain. We briefly discuss that this is done by using ellipsoid or ball shaped...
View ArticleDTI Tutorial 2 - Normalization and Statistics
In our first tutorial we processed our raw images and calculated tensor images. In this second tutorial we will address how to normalize a set of diffusion tensor images (DTI) and then run statistics...

It is unfortunately not common practice in diffusion imaging research to report on observed head motion of the participants in the scanner. Even though head motion can significantly influence study...
