MRtrix provides a set of tools to perform diffusion-weighted MRI white matter tractography in the presence of crossing fibres, using Constrained Spherical Deconvolution (Tournier et al.. 2004; Tournier et al. 2007), and a probabilisitic streamlines algorithm (e.g. Behrens et al., 2003; Parker et al., 2003). 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, NIfTI and AnalyseAVW image formats, amongst others. The source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License.

** This site is under development - documentation will be added soon! **

Fibre-tracking was performed using the MRtrix package (J-D Tournier, Brain Research Institute, Melbourne, Australia, http://www.brain.org.au/software/) (Tournier et al. 2012)
