I wouldn't recommend using that as you asked to do something different
(which I explained how to do).


Peace,

I am referring to the option in probtrack : "use anisotropy to constrain
tracking".
Thanks

Which method are you referring to?

 

Peace,

Thank you for your reply. However, I do not really understand in which case
the fiber stop. is there a place where I can get more information about this
option?
Is it better to use this option instead of a mask of FA to 0.15 or 0.2?
Is it normal that sometimes I get more fiber with this option than without.
Thank you very much
Romain

If you want to constrain using FA of 0.15, do this:

fslmaths <FA> -thr 0.15 -bin -sub 1 -mul -1 <stopmask>

And then use <stopmask> as a stopmask in probtrackx.

Peace,

Matt.

Hi - this option is the probabilistic version of an FA constraint. It will
stop tracts with some probability that is dependent on the partial volume
fraction of the fibre direction that has been selected at the last step.
