A variety of image processing pipelines have been used
to reconstruct whole-brain structural connectivity
networks from diffusion MRI data. The choice of
reconstruction method can impact network topology
measures. We assessed similarity in networks obtained
using two alternative and independent state-of-the-art
reconstruction pipelines in order to identify core
connections emerging robustly in both. We found high
convergence between group-averaged networks across a
range of network densities and identified a consensus
network, which had high convergence and anatomical
plausibility. Future work will investigate convergence
using finer node scale parcellations, allowing a more
detailed analysis of the convergence structure.
