CUDA-Accelerated Geodesic Ray-Tracing for Fiber Tracking

Figure 8

Fibers computed using the CUDA ray-tracing algorithm in real data. (a) All fibers computed from a seeding region in part of the corpus callosum. (b) In order to properly analyze the computed fibers, a postprocessing step is needed. In this case, fibers were filtered through two target regions of interest and ranked and colored according to their Connectivity Measure value (see Section 2.3). The yellow polygon approximates the seeding region used for the benchmarks in Section 5.3. Both images were generated in the DTITool [11].
