title = "Improved correspondence for DTI population studies via unbiased atlas building",
abstract = "We present a method for automatically finding correspondence in Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) from deformable registration to a common atlas. The registration jointly produces an average DTI atlas, which is unbiased with respect to the choice of a template image, along with diffeomorphic correspondence between each image. The registration image match metric uses a feature detector for thin fiber structures of white matter, and interpolation and averaging of diffusion tensors use the Riemannian symmetric space framework. The anatomically significant correspondence provides a basis for comparison of tensor features and fiber tract geometry in clinical studies and for building DTI population atlases.",
