abstract = {Diffusion tensor imaging is a magnetic resonance imaging method which
has gained increasing importance in neuroscience and especially
in neurosurgery. It acquires diffusion properties represented by
a symmetric 2nd order tensor for each voxel in the gathered dataset.
From the medical point of view, the data is of special interest
due to different diffusion characteristics of varying brain tissue
allowing conclusions about the underlying structures such as white
matter tracts. An obvious way to visualize this data is to focus
on the anisotropic areas using the major eigenvector for tractography
and rendering lines for visualization of the simulation results.
Our approach extends this technique to avoid line representation
since lines lead to very complex illustrations and furthermore are
mistakable. Instead, we generate surfaces wrapping bundles of lines.
Thereby, a more intuitive representation of different tracts is
achieved.},
