Dear Imaging enthusiast,
The 18th Neuroanatomy and Tractography Workshop will
be held in London between the 10-12th October 2016 at the Gordon
Museum of Pathology, Guy's Campus London Bridge, King's College London.
This workshop helps clinicians and scientists to develop and optimise strategies for diffusion data acquisition and pre-processing,
in-vivo white matter dissections using tractography, diffusion data extractions and data analysis. Processing pipelines for both diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and spherical deconvolution (SD) will be presented. This is also an opportunity to familiarise with
fundamentals of white matter anatomy, network neuroscience and disconnection syndromes. The number of participants is limited to 25 to allow 1:1 tutoring. The participants can work on their own datasets (if available, otherwise training data is provided) and
receive advice on processing and dissections from the members of the Natbrainlab.
