Body was changed:

It is the most common post-processing algorithm for magnetic resonance tractography studies (FACT, Fiber Assignment by Continuous Tracking).

The fiber bundle is reconstructed - by voxel inby voxel - following the direction of the principalmain eigenvector. The characteristic of this particular algorithm, totally based on data, is the remarkable computational speed.

The beginning of the reconstruction process can take place in different ways:

  • from a single voxel (seed point);
  • from several independent voxels;
  • from several voxels belonging to the same ROI (Region Of Interest).
