Description

TheseProceedings of the 2015 MICCAI Workshop “Computational Diffusion MRI” offer asnapshot of the current state of the art on a broad range of topics within thehighly active and growing field of diffusion MRI. The topics vary fromfundamental theoretical work on mathematical modeling, to the development andevaluation of robust algorithms, new computational methods applied to diffusionmagnetic resonance imaging data, and applications in neuroscientific studiesand clinical practice.

Over thelast decade interest in diffusion MRI has exploded. The technique providesunique insights into the microstructure of living tissue and enables in-vivoconnectivity mapping of the brain. Computational techniques are key to thecontinued success and development of diffusion MRI and to its widespreadtransfer into clinical practice. New processing methods are essential for addressingissues at each stage of the diffusion MRI pipeline: acquisition, reconstruction,modeling and model fitting, image processing, fiber tracking, connectivitymapping, visualization, group studies and inference.

Thisvolume, which includes both careful mathematical derivations and a wealth ofrich, full-color visualizations and biologically or clinically relevantresults, offers a valuable starting point for anyone interested in learningabout computational diffusion MRI and mathematical methods for mapping brainconnectivity, as well as new perspectives and insights on current researchchallenges for those currently working in the field. It will be of interest toresearchers and practitioners in the fields of computer science, MR physics,and applied mathematics.?
