Clustering of short association white matter fibers calculated from diffusion MRI

摘要

In this paper we performed an analysis of short brain association fibers based on 20 subjects of a high quality HARDI database. Fibers from all the subjects were clustered together in Talairach space. Generic fascicles presents in most of the subjects. For the left hemisphere, we obtained 87 representative fascicles, present in at least 17 of the 20 subjects, twelve of which were found in all the subjects. For the right hemisphere, we found 85 representative fascicles, eleven of which were found in all the subjects.
