Superficial White Matter Analysis: An Efficient Point-cloud-based Deep Learning Framework with Supervised Contrastive Learning for Consistent Tractography Parcellation across Populations and dMRI Acquisitions. (arXiv:2207.08975v1 [eess.IV])

Diffusion MRI tractography is an advanced imaging technique that enables in
vivo mapping of the brain's white matter connections. White matter parcellation
classifies tractography streamlines into clusters or anatomically meaningful
tracts. It enables quantification and visualization of whole-brain
tractography. Currently, most parcellation methods focus on the deep white
matter (DWM), whereas fewer methods address the superficial white matter (SWM)
due to its complexity. We propose a novel two-stage deep-learning-based
framework, Superficial White Matter Analysis (SupWMA), that performs an
efficient and …
