Conventional tractography is defined by "anisotropy > threshold". The anisotropy can be AFD or others, and it has to be highly specific to fiber existence to get clean results (see https://t.co/ba38JUo3Fk). This is why conventional tractography is "tracking the existence." (2/4)

Abstract in brief
- Diffusion MRI tractography is a technique used to map brain connections, and this study evaluates how well quantitative anisotropy (QA) performs in fiber tracking compared to other metrics like fractional anisotropy (FA) and generalized fractional anisotropy (GFA).
- Two phantom studies were conducted to assess QA's sensitivity to partial volume effects and its spatial resolution in tractography, revealing that QA is more robust and provides better resolution than FA and GFA.
- An in vivo study confirmed that QA-aided tracking significantly reduces false tracks compared to FA, GFA, and anatomical data, suggesting that it could enhance the study of brain connectivity in neuroscience.
