Introduction: Transformation into stereotactic space of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data is a prerequisite for group studies and requires thorough data processing to preserve directional inter-dependencies. The objective of the present study was to demonstrate the feasibility of averaging DTI data sets at the group level. Methods: Averaging for DTI data sets of 64 healthy subjects was applied in order to perform fractional anisotropy (FA) data analysis and fiber tracking (FT). The FT techniques used were modified deterministic streamline tracking (MDST) and modified probabilistic FT (MPFT). The directional in…
