, including a standard implementation of the neighbourhood tractography approach to white matter tract segmentation. A shell script is also provided to run experiments with TractoR without interacting with R. Using TractoR you can easily
Convert DICOM files from your MR scanner to Analyze/NIfTI format (see ScriptGroups#File_reading_and_conversion). Preprocess diffusion MR data to calculate tensor metrics including fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), and principal directions (see [Less]
