<div dir="ltr">Hi Francesco,<div><br></div><div>No, we don't run such courses, I don't think there would be enough demand for it (?). I do get the odd query on the topic, but that's about it.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, I do think it would be good to have a bit more information than the current documentation (particularly for the MRtrix3 version...). I'm not sure what people would find most useful. One idea that we'd discussed in the past was to provide a sample dataset combined with tutorials and worked examples that people could run through on their own computers. I think this might be the best way forward, I'll have a look into this when I have a minute. Those using MRtrix3 will have noticed that we have a wiki on GitHub, which should allow other users to add to the documentation where they feel it's lacking (contributions are always welcome!). This would probably be the most obvious place to expand, especially since development on MRtrix 0.2.X has been essentially stagnant for the last 3-4 years... If anyone feel like contributing by adding to the wiki, providing data for a tutorial, writing a tutorial, or simply expression your opinion on the topic, please feel free to dive in!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Donald. <br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 14 December 2014 at 13:05, Francesco Sammartino <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:francesco.sammartino.nch@gmail.com" target="_blank">francesco.sammartino.nch@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Dear all,<br>
I'm enthusiastic about mrtrix. Is there any hands on course / bootcamp on it?<br>
thank you</p>

<p dir="ltr">I don't think that can be done - the tensor tracking algorithm in MRtrix takes the raw DWI as input, so that it can do interpolation on the raw DW signals. I'm guessing the tensor images produced by DTI-TK have been non-linearly registered, so there's no way of using the original DWI. One potential way around it would be to generate some fake DWI signals from the DTI-TK output and feed that to streamtrack. Sounds a little too much of a hack for comfort though, not sure I'd recommend that - mind you, I wouldn't recommend tensor tracking in the first place either...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another approach worth exploring would be do the tracking in native space and warp the tracks to the other space afterwards, using the approach outlined here: <br>

I'm sure that idea could be adapted for DTI-TK too.</p>
