The Fiber Cup Phantom Database
http://www.lnao.fr/spip.php?rubrique79
The Fiber Cup was originally intended to be a tractography contest at the MICCAI
conference help in London in 2009. Today, the Fiber Cup is still open and is intended
to provide a common dataset with known ground truth along with an evaluation
methodology to compare and challenge tractography algorithms. It was developed
at Neurospin, CEA, France.
Key Features: Provides a MR phantom containing a plethora of crossing, kissing,
splitting and bending fiber configurations, acquisitions done at three b-values
providing dMRI data on three q-ball shells.
