Abstract
The present disclosure illustrates a method and an apparatus of fiber tracking, and non-transitory computer-readable medium thereof. In an embodiment, a fiber tracking process is performed on a diffusion magnetic resonance image of a subject's brain based on validated and better tracking parameters, so as to obtain first tracking images, nerve fibers between two first regions of interest in each of the first tracking images are extracted, a nerve fasciculus skeleton is established based on an overlapping process performed on the plurality of nerve fibers extracted from the first tracking images, and the nerve fibers more similar to the structure of the nerve fasciculus skeleton are selected to obtain a specific fasciculus of the subject. Thus, the technical solution of the present disclosure can be used to improve the sensitivity of fiber tracking and be useful for improvement of preoperative assessment and surgical navigation.
