dti (version 0.9-4)

dti-package: DTI Analysis

Description

Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging modality, that measures diffusion of water in tissues like the human brain. The package contains R-functions to process diffusion-weighted data. The functionality includes diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), structural adaptive smoothing in in case of (DTI) (K. Tabelow, J. Polzehl, V. Spokoiny, and H.U. Voss, Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Structural Adaptive Smoothing, Neuroimage 39(4), 1763-1773 (2008)), modeling for high angular resolution diffusion weighted imaging (HARDI) using Q-ball-reconstruction and tensor mixture models and a stremaline fiber tracking for tensor and tensor mixture models. The package provides functionality to manipulate and visualize results in 2D and 3D.
