[Mristudio-users] broken and thick fibers

[Durai Arasan]

Thanks! The gradient table was extracted from the dicom header.

As you can see in the picture in the next message, no flipping gives rise
to best (corpus callosum) results among all 7 permutations. This is a new
siemens scanner.

Can anyone comment on the effect of pixel size, slice thickness and noise
on fiber quality?
