In this study we investigate the reproducibility of DTI
and probabilistic tractography on the brain connectivity
measures among 78 grey matter parcellations. Regular DTI
protocols (30 directions, b=1000) were performed twice
on each 14 healthy subject (7 male and 7 female in 20 to
25 years old). Results show that probabilistic
tractography can be successfully applied to calculate
the connectivity between GM regions. The inter-scan
reproducibility is at level of 10% for GM regions with
connectivity strength over 0.2. Therefore, structural
connectivity assessed by diffusion tensor tractogrphy
can be used to study the brain network.
