Segmenting the corpus callosum based on cortical projection zones using DTI tractography. (A) Callosal fibers are tracked separately for each hemisphere. (B) Callosal fibers are then segmented based on fiber termination points in eight anatomically defined cortical projection zones (see legend at lower right). (C) Cortical projection zones displayed on the lateral surface of the left hemisphere. (D) Cross-sectional areas for each subregion are determined on the midsagittal slice. (E) Callosal fibers for each hemisphere are merged and clipped at 1 cm, a zone of high coherence. Diffusion properties are determined for these fiber segments.
