To perform group-level analyses and compare subjects, due to differences in brain shape and size, geometrical transformations must be applied to images to overlap regions.For DTI, the directional information can be considered in transformations using the Preserve Principal Directions method.In this work we present a novel method that we call Preservation of Principal Branches, for the transformation of Fiber Orientation Distribution objects (FODs) that takes into account their specific shapes.
