Tensor metrics differ between FSL_FDT and DKE
Hello,
I compared the FA images produced by FSL_FDT and DKE
and found that there is somewhat difference.
I give an example of difference image (FDT FA minus DKE FA).
I find it somewhat different at corpus callosum, and which I think should not happen.
I guess is it because of difference in tensor fitting method?
suppose that FSL do not capture kurtosis term (W)
best wishes

Minchul,
Thank you for your question. Can you tell me what the scale is in your subtract.jpg? Are we talking about a 1% difference or a 10% difference (positive or negative) ?
Changing the dti_method.dti_flag to 1 in dkeparameters will output an FA map calculated using the DTI method (calculating D without estimating the W term). You can use this map and compare it to the FSL output.
dti_method.dti_flag = 0; % whether (1) or not (0) to estimate DTI parametric maps based on the DTI (in addition to DKI) signal model (default: 0)
Best,
Emilie

Hi,
I have a couple of follow-up questions to this old post, if you don't mind:
1. What's the difference between the DTI maps produced by turning on the "dti_method.dti_flag", and those automatically produced with the DKI method using the default settings? For example, what's the difference between the produced maps "fa.nii" and "fa_dti.nii"?
2. When using the DTI method (with "dti_method.dti_flag" on), are all the DWI shells used to produce the tensor maps or only the lower shell(s)?
I tried to look for answers to my questions in the documentation but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Best,
Shereif
