Module Description

For additional references, please see below (References section).

Use Cases

By default, this module uses a tensor model (either one or two tensors). The default tensor model is a cylinder: both smaller eigenvalues are equal. The NODDI model can also be used.

• 1-Tensor tractography
• 1-Tensor tractography with free water
• 2-Tensor tractography
• 2-Tensor tractography with free water
• Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI)
