Handbook of Diffusion MR Tractography

Handbook of Diffusion MR Tractography by Flavio Dell’Acqua, Maxime Descoteaux, and Alexander Leemans offers a clear, practical guide to one of neuroimaging’s most powerful tools. Designed for clinicians, researchers, and advanced students, this book distills complex diffusion MRI theory into usable workflows for mapping white-matter pathways and studying brain connectivity.

Begin with an accessible overview of diffusion MR principles and data acquisition, then move into step-by-step tractography methods, quality control strategies, and common pitfalls. Written by leading experts, the handbook balances rigorous methodology with real-world applications — from neuroscience research to presurgical planning in radiology and neurology departments.

What sets this book apart is its pragmatic focus: clear protocols, comparative discussions of deterministic and probabilistic approaches, and guidance on interpreting tractography results in clinical and research contexts. Readers will gain actionable insights for optimizing scans, improving reproducibility, and integrating tractography into multimodal studies of brain structure and function.

Whether you work in a hospital neuroimaging unit, an academic lab, or a neuroscience startup, this handbook is an essential reference for understanding and applying diffusion MR tractography across settings worldwide. For anyone seeking to elevate their MRI practice or research with robust, state-of-the-art tractography techniques, Handbook of Diffusion MR Tractography is the authoritative, user-focused resource to own.
