PD = principal direction of the tensor, RGB = colored FA

DTI = diffusion tensor imaging, MT = multi-tensor, HARDI = high angular resolution diffusion imaging

P = probabilistic, D = deterministic, SP = streamline probabilistic

OT = optic tracks, OC = optic chiasm, OL = occipital lobe TL = temporal lobe, SS = sagittal stratum, CST = cortico-spinal tract, AR = anterior ROI, CLH = contra-lateral hemisphere
