Tractography can be sensitive to a number of parameters. However, there are few methods for quantifying such sensitivity. We demonstrate a means for quantitative comparison of pathways by comparison with an ensemble of tracks. We apply the method to compare the results of two probabilistic tractography methods: a computationally intensive Monte Carlo (MC) approach and fast partial differential equations (PDE) that is designed to rapidly replicate the results of the MC approach.
