Fig 10. Visual comparison between three streamline rendering techniques.

(a) Conventional whole brain streamline rendering in which pathways greatly overlap and clutter the view. (b) Track density imaging [24] in which only streamlines crossing a user-defined plane (in this case a coronal slice) are shown. (c) Orientation-dependent transparency rendering in which all pathways that run in the direction of the viewing axis are rendered transparent. Underlay: directionally-encoded fractional anisotropy map.
