Hi,
 bedpsotx ­n allows you to specify just one fiber.
In 
http://books.google.de/books/about/Diffusion_MRI.html?id=N20nnxByjVAC&redir_
esc=y , we have written a chapter which includes a comparison of
deterministic and probabilistic tractography in patients.
Cheers,
Andreas

Betreff:  [FSL] 3 questions about tractography

Hello, we are interested in comparing results from deterministic and
probabilistic tractography. In order to do this, we need to do the fiber
tracking in dti space, but we would like to maintain compatibility with
results in MNI space which are more efficient. We have a single spherical
seed ROI in MNI space. We thought that  we could transform the centroid of
the sphere to diffusion space, then construct a sphere of the same dimension
in each subject around it and the result should be almost identical to the
MNI tractography result, at least with probtrackx. Is this a correct
assumption? 
The second question I have in this vein is this. Deterministic tractography
differs in at least two respects from probtrackx results: 1) the
probabilistic nature of the tractography and 2) the fact that probtrackx
recognizes a secondary fiber. Is it possible to alter probtrackx to
recognize only the principal fiber?
Are you aware of any systematic work that has compared deterministic and
probabilistic tractography in clinical populations?
