ReconFTI Overview

Posted in

What is ReconFTI?

ReconFTI is a software that reconstructs functional tensor images from conventional functional magnetic resonance images. Reconstructed functional tensor images can be used to delineate functional pathways in the human brain. These functional pathways may help neuroscientists understand how different cortical regions of the human brain interact with each other.

How is the ReconFTI Software different from other docking tools?

There are no similar tools. The closest one is DTIStudio. The DTIStudio reconstructs diffusion tensor images of the human brain. The diffusion tensor images provide information regarding brain structural connectivity instead of functional pathways.

Who developed the ReconFTI software?

Dr. Ding Zhaohau at Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science

How does it work?
