Deep learning based tractography with TractSeg in patients with hemispherotomy: Evaluation and refinement by Johannes Gruen, Tobias Bauer, Theodor Rüber, Thomas Schultz

“…At the same time, TractSeg failed to reconstruct or undersegmented some tracts that are known to be preserved.We subsequently propose a refinement of TractSeg which aims to improve its applicability to data with pathologies, by using its Tract Orientation Maps as an anatomical prior in low-rank tensor approximation based tractography such that tracking is guaranteed to continue only where presence of the tract is directly supported by the data (“data fidelity”). …”
