Fig 2. Automatically detected arcuate fasciculus tract clusters in example datasets from patients with edema.

Fig 2

Views are from left or right based on the involvement with edema, using the UKFt, UKFt+rFA and UKFt+FW methods of P3, P11, P22. A T2-weighted image is shown behind the fiber tracts. Edema is shown in transparent blue. Tract colors indicate individual fiber clusters as defined in the atlas. For the UKFt+rFA method, the FA thresholds were set to 0.03, 0.07 and 0.07 for the three cases, respectively, to achieve the most similar AF volumes to those obtained using the UKF+FW method. Overall, reducing the FA threshold and adding the FW model both resulted in visually larger AF tracts on the three cases compared to UKFt. In P3, the UKFt+FW method obtained more visually apparent anatomically correct AF fibers (red). In P11 and P22, while tracts obtained using the UFKt+rFA and UKFt+FW methods are visually similar, the UKFt+rFA method introduced more visually apparent false positive fibers (as indicated by the black arrows) than the UKFt+FW method.
