Abstract

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an extension of the conventional magnetic resonance imaging with the capability to characterize the diffusion behavior of water in a tissue. The study of DTI and its visualization has beome an emerging focus of research in brain studies since it provides the information required to reconstruct white matter fiber paths. In this paper, we present DTIWeb, a robust, portable and extensible Java application for visualizing and processing DTI data. The proposed framework is based on the Java3D programming platform that provides and object-oriented programming model and independence of computer hard-ware configuration and operating system. The platform is designed to work through the world wide web and only requires a web browser.
