title: MaxCurvature-Hessian (DTIProcess)

category: Diffusion

description: This program computes the Hessian of the FA image (–image). We use this scalar image as a registration input when doing DTI atlas building. For most adult FA we use a sigma of 2 whereas for neonate or primate images and sigma of 1 or 1.5 is more appropriate. For really noisy images, 2.5 - 4 can be considered. The final image (–output) shows the main feature of the input image.
