The challenge of mapping the human connectome based on diffusion tractography
- Klaus Maier-Hein, P. Neher, M. Descoteaux

- 7 November 2017
The encouraging finding that most state-of-the-art algorithms produce tractograms containing 90% of the ground truth bundles (to at least some extent) is reported, however, the same tractograms contain many more invalid than valid bundles, and half of these invalid bundles occur systematically across research groups.
DTI of human skeletal muscle: the effects of diffusion encoding parameters, signal‐to‐noise ratio and T2 on tensor indices and fiber tracts
- M. Froeling, A. Nederveen, K. Nicolay, G. Strijkers

- 1 November 2013
It is concluded that accurate DTI of skeletal muscle requires an SNR of at least 25, a b value of between 400 and 500 s/mm2, and data acquired with at least 12 diffusion gradient directions homogeneously distributed on half a sphere.
