An imaging method for imaging a subject ( ) including anisotropic or fibrous structures ( ) includes acquiring a three-dimensional apparent diffusion tensor map ( ) of a region with some anisotropic structures ( ). The apparent diffusion tensor map ( ) is processed to obtain ordered eigenvectors and eigenvalues ( ) of diffusion tensor map voxels. A three-dimensional fiber representation ( ) is tracked using the eigenvectors and eigenvalues ( ). The three-dimensional fiber representation ( ) is rendered as a hyperstreamline representation ( ). An background image representation ( ) is generated. A human-viewable display ( ) is produced including the rendered hyperstreamline representation ( ) superimposed on the generated image background representation ( ).
