A novel adaptation of the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) was recently introduced in literature for simultaneous multitensor estimation and fiber tractography from diffusion MRI. This technique has the advantage over other tractography methods in terms of computational efficiency, due to the fact that the UKF simultaneously estimates the diffusion tensors and propagates the most consistent direction...
In this paper, we present algorithms for the computation of the median of a set of symmetric positive-definite matrices using different distances/divergences. The novelty of this paper lies in the median computation using the Bhattacharya distance on diffusion tensors. The numerical computation of the median is achieved using the gradient descent algorithm and the fixed point algorithm. We present...
Fiber tracking from diffusion tensor images is an essential step in numerous clinical applications. There is a growing demand for an accurate and efficient framework to perform quantitative analysis of white matter fiber bundles. In this paper, we propose a robust framework for fiber clustering. This framework is composed of two parts: accessible fiber representation, and a statistically robust divergence...
Cartesian tensors of various orders have been employed for either modeling the diffusivity or the orientation distribution function in Diffusion-Weighted MRI datasets. In both cases, the estimated tensors have to be positive-definite since they model positive-valued functions. In this paper we present a novel unified framework for estimating positive-definite tensors of any order, in contrast to the...
