Fiber orientation distribution (FOD) estimation with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is critical in white matter fiber tractography which most commonly implemented by tracking the principal direction of FOD step step. Ambiguous spatial correspondences between estimated directions and geometry, such as crossing, fanning or bending, makes challenging. As a consequence, lot tracts suggest intertangled connections unexpected regions actually stop prematurely matter. In this work, we...
