Assertion
Only the setup and testing of the system in last
two sections have been successful can we start to
perform the following fiducial seeding for DTI
tractography.
5
Outline

• Load tensor image
• Create a fiducial list
• Configure Tractography module
• Configure NeuroNav module

6
Load Tensor Image
Go to Volumes module to load the tensor image
7
Create a Fiducial List
Move your mouse into any 2D slice window and then
press P key while holing the left mouse button.
You will see a fiducial right way, which is named
L-P
8
Configure Tractography Module

• Go to Fiducial Seeding by the following
  sequence
• Modules Tractography Seeding Fiducial
  Seeding
• In the tab of Tractography Seeding From Fiducial
• Set L for Select FiducialList or Model
• Set Create New Fiber Bundle for Output Fiber
  Bundle Node

9
Configure Tractography Module
Set two values
10
Configure NeuroNav Module
Set the node name to BioImageSuite
Click this button to start seeding

Result

• At this point, you should see fiducial seeding
  of DTI tractography on fly. Check the tutorial
  for comparison.
