Abstract

To understand more about the human brain and how it works, it is vital to understand how the neural circuits connect different regions of the brain. The human brain is filled predominantly with water and the majority of the water molecules undergo diffusion which can be captured with the help of diffusion MRI. Diffusion weighted images enable us to reconstruct the neural circuits in a non-invasive manner, and this procedure is referred to as tractography. Tractography aids neurosurgeons to understand the neural connectivity of the patient. This chapter attempts to explain the procedure of tractography and different types of algorithms.
