Sammendrag
The main topic of this project is the study of so-called ``fiber tracking''. Fiber tracking is a relatively recent methodology, made possible by access to new highly advanced MR scanners able to produce high-quality diffusion tensor images, which promises clinicians a possibility to observe the actual trajectories of fibers and the connectivity of the living human brain. This could provide clinicians with a unique tool for diagnosing and predicting disease which affect the ``wiring'' of brain, such as stroke, tumors, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.
