Hi there,

I want to feed my own data (my own algorithms) to diffusion toolkit's tracking system. As I understand, the data should be NIFTI, and it's expected _odf.nii (181 directions covering half the sphere) and that _max.nii file with a 1 where the local vector is a maximum, so there will be 181 0s and 1s per voxel. Right?

My question is in the translation of my data into the _odf 181 directions. How are these directions calculated? Is it a standard tessellation of icosahedron or something like that? How you guys calculate the maxima of HARDI reconstruction? Mesh analysis?

Well, these are my question for now!

Thanks in advance!

Paulo
