Segmentation of intrinsically very low contrast magnetic resonance brain images using tensor-based DTI registration

Background: In patients with hypomyelinating leukodystrophies, contrast of T1-weighted brain MRI is very low due to the lack of myelin, preventing a reliable segmentation. In diffusion tensor images the contrast is higher, thanks to anisotropy and orientation of white matter (WM) tracts. We aimed to...
