Applications of Whole Brain Tractography and Implications for Clinical Practice

Abstract

The complicated nature of neurological diseases-and the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment for patient quality of life-have made the need for more advanced imaging techniques more urgent than ever. Automated whole brain tractography promises to increase the knowledge that neurologists have of a variety of disease processes, including schizophrenia, age-related changes to white matter, brain tumors, and epilepsy.
