Recently several novel image contrasts derived from whole-brain fibre tracking-data (tractograms) have been introduced. The novel contrasts of these track-weighted imaging (TWI) methods may provide important information for clinical studies. However, before they can be used reliably to generate quantitative measures, it is important to characterise the within-subject intra-session and inter-session reproducibility, and between-subject variability. In this work we investigate the within-subject reproducibility (both intra-session and inter-session), and between-subject variability of TWI for a number of different contrasts across multiple subjects.
