How Analyze was Used
“Tractography was carried out using Analyze MR Diffusion Tensor Imaging based on fiber assignment by continuous tracking (FACT) algorithm (Jiang, van Zijl, Kim, Pearlson, & Mori, 2006) with a fractional anisotropy threshold of 0.2 for initial seeding and stopping and a principal eigenvector angle stopping threshold of 60°.”
