AI Article Synopsis

  • Visualizing brain scans helps researchers check the quality of their data and understand what it means.
  • This survey looks at a special type of brain imaging called diffusion MRI tractography, which is used a lot in science and medicine.
  • The study reviews 27 different tools that help visualize this type of data, helping beginners and experts find the right tools by showing what features each one has.

Article Abstract

Visualizing neuroimaging data is a key step in evaluating data quality, interpreting results, and communicating findings. This survey focuses on diffusion MRI tractography, which has been widely used in both research and clinical domains within the neuroimaging community. With an increasing number of tractography tools and software, navigating this landscape poses a challenge, especially for newcomers. A systematic exploration of a diverse range of features is proposed across 27 research tools, delving into their main purpose and examining the presence or absence of prevalent visualization and interactive techniques. The findings are structured within a proposed taxonomy, providing a comprehensive overview. Insights derived from this analysis will help (novice) researchers, clinicians, and developers in identifying knowledge gaps and navigating the landscape of tractography visualization tools.
