Abstract

Diffusion MRI allows us not only voxelized diffusion characteristics but also the potential to delineate neuronal ﬁber path through tractography. There is a dearth of ﬂexible open source tractography software programs for visualizing these complicated 3D structures. Moreover, rendering these structures using various shading, lighting, and representations will result in vastly different graphical feel. In addition, the ability to output these objects in various formats increases the utility of this platform. We have created TractRender that leverages openGL features through Matlab, allowing for maximum ease of use but still maintain the ﬂexibility of custom scene rendering.
