Fiber tracking is a powerful method to explore structural connectivity of white matter. However, without statistical methods to estimate the uncertainties associated with quantitative connectivity measures it is very hard to compare fiber tracking results. This study looks at the possibility of using the residual bootstrap with fiber tracking to establish confidence intervals on connectivity measures.
