dmri.tracking (version 0.1.0)

tractography: Tractography

Description

Visualize the result from v.track. r package rgl is required.

Usage

tractography(loc, vec)

Arguments

loc

Voxel coordinates that the reconstructed fiber go through

vec

Diffusion direction that used to reconstruct the fiber

Value

No return value. The reconstructed fiber is visualized on the opened rgl window.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
#Load an example output from the peak detection algorithm
load(system.file("extdata", "peakresult.rda", package = "dmri.tracking"))

str(peak.result)  #Output from the peak detection algorithm

#Apply Tracking algorithm
result = v.track(v.obj = peak.result, max.line=500)


#Plot tracking result.
