fiber (Q7375585)

Provides three S7 classes — streamline, bundle, and bundle_set — for representing diffusion MRI tractography data in R, together with a concise set of methods for computing shape descriptors (arc-length, curvature, torsion, sinuosity), the Hausdorff distance between streamlines, arc-length reparametrization of streamlines and bundles onto uniform grids, combination of streamlines or bundles into a single bundle, combination of bundles from multiple subjects or sessions into a bundle_set, and coercion to and from the dwiFiber S4 class of the 'dti' package.

(2024) "Handbook of Diffusion MR Tractography" <doi:10.1016/C2018-0-02520-7> for more about the mathematical and computational underpinnings of diffusion MRI tractography.
