Abstract
A method of obtaining fiber structure information of a nerve fiber in an object by using an MRI system includes: obtaining image information of voxels of the object; setting a tracking start area including at least one voxel of the object; setting at least one voxel adjacent to the tracking start area as a tracking processing area; determining a similarity between image information of a voxel included in the set tracking processing area and a voxel included in the tracking start area; and obtaining the fiber structure information according to the determined similarity.
