Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based tractography is a noninvasive in vivo method for tracing white matter bundles. This raises possibilities for qualitative and quantitative assessment of the structural organization of tracts. Nevertheless, questions remain about neuroanatomical accurac...
