DTI-TK helps constructing a DTI template for rhesus macaques

Dr Nagesh Adluru from Prof Andrew Alexander's group at Wisconsin-Madison recently developed a first-of-its-kind DTI template for rhesus macaques. The DTI template is built from over 250 rhesus monkeys, the largest number ever used to build such a template. The template construction used an optimized version of DTI-TK tailored for monkey brains. The most recent release of DTI-TK has incorporated these optimizations and everyone can now benefit from this effort.

For further details of this template, please refer to Dr Adluru's NeuroImage paper here:
