REAL-TIME TRACTOGRAPHY

摘要

A magnetic resonance imaging method for imaging a subject (18) including fibrous/anisotropic structures (102) includes acquiring three-dimensional image representations without and with a plurality of different diffusion weightings and directions. When a user (56) hovers a selection device over a voxel of the image, a fiber representation (54) is extracted in substantially real time. The representation is generated by following a direction of a major eigenvector e1 from voxel to voxel. A human-viewable display of the fiber representation is produced (210).
