Tensor Field Methods

The simulation of a physical system often requires one to characterize the material properties of the various media within the simulation domain, such as density, electrical or thermal conductivity, or diffusivity. SCI Institute researchers have developed novel methods for visualizing diffusion tensor data generated from MRI scans of the human brain. These visualization methods can be used for analyzing anatomic structures, diagnosing pathologies, and searching for pathways within the brain.
