Varying termination criteria values of tractography algorithms produce tangible effects on the reconstructed tractograms. While these effects are extensively documented in the state-of-the-art literature for healthy subjects, little is known about streamline reconstruction differences in presence of brain tumours. In this work we apply a statistical framework to assess the impact of the cut-off value on the resulting structural connectivity matrices in 11 patients suffering from gliomas. Results show how varying the cut-off value in the studied range does not produce significant changes in the matrix structure, thus validating literature recommendations for healthy subjects in the case of glioma patients.
