ExploreDTI: a graphical toolbox for processing, analyzing, and visualizing diffusion MR data

Introduction Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is becoming a standard addition to routine MR imaging for investigating microstructural tissue properties (e.g., see [1] for a recent review). With this research field rapidly evolving, the need for efficient and user-friendly diffusion MR processing/analysis software packages is also increasing. Here, a new MR diffusion toolbox – dubbed ExploreDTI – is officially presented for the first time. ExploreDTI is a non-commercial package that combines many of the key MR diffusion processing tools that have appeared in the recent literature, but which have not necessarily been widely available. The package will be made freely available to academic institutions following the…
