Abstract
A method for finding fibers in image data of a brain, comprising the steps of: matching (S) a functional atlas of the brain to an image data set which represents a medical image of the brain; performing functional atlas segmentation (S) in order to segment the image data set into functional areas; using (S, S) the segmented image data set to determine at least one seed point for a fiber tracking algorithm; and - performing (S) fiber tracking in order to find the fiber.
