Abstract

Tractography methods provide ways to explore white mater in brain. UKF Tractography is a promising one in processing cross fibers and edema regions. In order to get more insight into UKF tractography, we present a joint visualization scheme for UKF tractography data, which integrates and visualizes fiber tracts, diffusion tensors, and multiple tensor measures at the same time. In the scheme, a new kind of tensor glyphs called cylingons, which is similar to cylinder but has more lateral faces, is designed to hold multiple scalar measures through the color mapping of faces. Cylingons are then combined with fiber tracts to provide global and local views under the control of different visualizing options. Initial tests and applications show that our approach can do most work of visual analysis for UKF tractography data, and help to get something that is worthy of further study.
