Conventional diffusion MRI fiber tracking methods have
difficulty reconstructing white matter fiber structures
near gray matter and have trouble penetrating into gyri
and fully exploring the gyrus. Hence, the main
limitation of current tractography techniques is the
partial volume effect due to the tracking mask
discretization in gyri and poor spatial resolution of
the data. Our proposed surface tracking method
successfully reconstructs fiber structures near the
brain surface by only using a basic T1 anatomical image
and shape information. With this method, we can see
fanning in gyri, without the need of high resolution
dMRI techniques.
