Abstract
BrainSuite Diffusion Pipeline (BDP) offers an end-to-end processing pipeline for diffusion MRI that includes implementations of established as well as novel processing methods. BDP is developed within the ecosphere of BrainSuite and seamlessly integrates with its anatomical preprocessing, statistical analysis and visualization tools.
BDP allows essential processing steps to correct localized susceptibility-induced geometric distortions, co-register DWI and T1 weighted MRI (T1w-MRI), estimate white matter orientations for tractography, estimate microstructure related quantitative maps and perform tractography. Our newest release BDP19b now interoperates with DSI Studio tractography.
Our pipeline includes novel tools developed by our team including:
INVERSION (Inverse contrast Normalization for Very Simple Registration) for improved T1/dMRI coregistration.
Registration-based distortion correction for studies without fieldmap.
Novel ODFs for improved tracking: Funk-Radon and cosine transform (FRACT) and EAP response function optimized (ERFO) ODF.
Our software demo will walk through the implementation of BDP followed by a quick run down of the outputs inspected using BrainSuite’s graphical interface. We will then demo our real-time tractography filtering tool to identify well-known tracks such as the cortical-spinal tract, showing multiple ways of doing so. Lastly, we will demo our interactive connectivity viewer within our graphical interface.
