Structure tensor informed fibre tractography (STIFT) based on diffusion images at 3T and gradient-echo images at 7T has shown improvement in the accuracy of white matter bundles tracking in the presence of kissing and crossing fibres. In this study, we implemented STIFT using both DWI and GRE images at 3T. We further demonstrated white matter contrast presence in T2* mapping and quantitative susceptibility mapping derived from GRE data can be used to compute structure tensor. The benefits of STIFT are shown in two tractography applications.
