Hi Saad, do they just have to pass one voxel within the ROI or through the entire ROI?

Therefore, all streamlines that do not pass through the ROIs will be rejected - if the ROIs are set as ³targets², then streamlines that do not pass through the targets will still be included in the fdt_paths output, but discarded from the seed_to_target counters.
