We present a method for spatial evaluation of MRI tractography data based on track co-registration using anatomical landmarks. The feasibility for clinical use was tested in a patient group suffering from semantic dementia. The analysis pinpointed specific areas of the track bundle where differences existed between the patient and healthy control group.
