Diffusion tensor imaging pipeline measures of cerebral white matter integrity: An overview of recent advances and prospects

Figure 3 Typical diffusion tensor imaging workflow[63]. The general technique in diffusion tensor imaging pipeline processing and analysis involves a few steps that include artifacts and data acquisition technique, quality control and pre-processing, processing and visualization, quantitative analysis; these can involve multimodal studies, and lastly, result interpretations. FA: Fractional Anisotropy; MD: Mean diffusivity; ROI: Region of interest; VBA: Voxel based analysis; TBSS: Tract based spatial statistics.
