Working with Tensor Data in BrainSuite2.45:

This protocol will show you how to display glyphs on DTI images in BrainSuite. Email Owen Phillips at email ophillip at loni dot ucla dot edu for more help or information about this protocol.

  1. Load a *.eigen file as your Volume.

    Volume Display Properties window
  2. Open "Volume Display Properties" and load your mask data.

  6. Right-click and take off the volume display. This will leave only the Tensor Glyph data.

    Glyphs only
  7. There are many options you can play with to change the look of the image. If you right-click on the image while in GL view there is an option for Glyphs which allows manipulation of the data.

    Right clicking on the 3D GLView window
  8. Under "Volume Display Properties" there is an option to change the size of your tensor Glyphs.
