Problems of image registration has been well studied in the neuroimaging field. However, the registration of the diffusion MRI data, especially to align the fiber orientations among different brains, is not readily applicable using current available packages. We generalized the conventional 3D registration to the 6D scenario by implementing LDDMM algorithm. The results demonstrate the proposed method is applicable for the registration between DSI datasets.
