[Camino-users] TEND stepsize

[Philip A Cook]

Hi,

You're right, if deflection is computed at every step it certainly would make the results dependent on step size. In Camino, the tend implementation extends FACT, and hence the tensor deflection only gets applied once per voxel. I'm working on a more general tracking framework that would let you use TEND in other algorithms. In that case you would want to reduce the weight the TEND term if you used smaller step sizes.

I guess for FACT it does not matter but the tensor deflection is influenced drastically by the step size. Or is the deflection D*v only applied once per voxel and not at every step?
