Synopsis

Keywords: Tractography & Fibre Modelling, White Matter, U-fibers, Diffusion MRI, Tractometry, VisualizationHere we visualized how superficial association fiber (SAF) systems relate to deep white matter bundles. We found that various shape features can be reliably extracted from those systems. The combination of superficial white matter tractography with traditional deep white matter bundles opens possibilities to study bundle-specific SAF in health and disease.
