Camino Diffusion MRI Toolkit
http://web4.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/medic/camino/pmwiki/pmwiki.php
Camino is a free, open-source, object-oriented software package for analysis and
reconstruction of dMRI data, tractography and connectivity mapping. It is developed
by the Microstructure Imaging Group, University College London, UK.
Key Features: DTI, multi-tensor model, QBI, MESD/PAS-MRI, deterministic/
probabilistic tractography, synthetic data generation and more.
MRI Studio an Image Processing Program
https://www.mristudio.org/
MRI Studio is an image processing program running under Windows. It is suitable
for such tasks as tensor calculation, color mapping, fiber tracking, and 3D visual-
ization. Most of operations can be done with only a few clicks. DTI Studio is being
developed through the support of the Laboratory of Brain Anatomical MRI and
Center for Imaging Science at Johns Hopkins University, USA.
Key Features: DTI, Fiber-tracking and editing, 3D visualization, Region of Interest-
ing (ROI) drawing and statistics, image registration.
3D Slicer
http://www.slicer.org/
Slicer, or 3D Slicer, is a free, open source software package for visualization
and image analysis. 3D Slicer is natively designed to be available on multiple
platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac Os X. 3D Slicer provides image
registration, processing of DTI (diffusion tractography), an interface to external
devices for image guidance support, and GPU-enabled volume rendering, among
other capabilities. It is developed by the Surgical Planning Laboratory, Brigham
and Women's Hospital and the Harvard Medical School, USA.
Key Features: Functionality for segmentation, registration and 3D visualization of
multi-modal image data, advanced image analysis algorithms for DTI and fMRI,
supports standard image file formats.
MRtrix: MR tractography including crossing fibers
http://www.nitrc.org/projects/mrtrix/
MRtrix provides a set of tools to perform diffusion-weighted MRI white mat-
ter tractography in the presence of crossing fibers, using Constrained Spherical
Deconvolution, and a probabilistic streamlines algorithm. These applications have
been written from scratch in C++, using the functionality provided by the GNU
Scientific Library, and gtkmm. The software is currently capable of handling
DICOM and AnalyseAVW image formats, amongst others. The source code is
distributed under the GNU General Public License. MRtrix is being developed by
the Brain Research Institute (BRI), Melbourne, Australia.
Key Features: Detection of crossing fibers using Constrained Spherical Deconvolu-
tion, probabilistic streamline fiber tracking.
