Identifying manually corresponding tracks in different brain tractogaphies is a very complicated task, typically requiring lots of expertise, and lots of time. Moreover different local diffusion models and different tractography algorithms generate tractographies with wide differences in numbers of tracks and in shape characteristics. We address these problems by introducing an automatic method for detecting corresponding tracks in different dMRI (diffusion weighted MRI) datasets.
