Building connectomes using diffusion MRI: why, how and but
Open accessAbstract
Why has diffusion MRI become a principal modality for mapping connectomes in vivo ? How do different image acquisition parameters, fiber tracking algorithms and other methodological choices affect connectome estimation? What are the main factors that dictate the success and failure of connectome reconstruction? These are some of the key questions that we aim to address in this review. We provide an overview of the key methods that can be used to estimate the nodes and edges of macroscale connectomes, and we discuss open problems and inherent limitations. We argue that diffusion MRI‐based connectome mapping methods are still in their infancy and caution against blind application of deep white matter tractography due to the challenges inherent to connectome reconstruction. We review a number of studies that provide evidence of useful microstructural and network properties that can be extracted in various independent and biologically relevant contexts. Finally, we highlight some of the key deficiencies of current macroscale connectome mapping methodologies and motivate future developments.

Because tractography, network analysis, and NODDI each have limitations, caution is required when interpreting NODDI connectomics data.
“Tractography and network analysis both have their own limitations (Jeurissen et al., 2019;Sotiropoulos and Zalesky, 2019), which, in combination with the limitations of NODDI, means that caution is required when interpreting the data.”
From NODDI in clinical research (2020) · cites this paper as Sotiropoulos and Zalesky, 2019
NOS does not provide a truly quantitative measure of connection strength because of the difference in resolution between the measured dMRI signal and actual axon dimensions.
“However, because of the difference in resolution between the measured dMRI signal and actual axon dimensions (as described in Section 3.3: “Connection density biases”), many studies have emphasized that NOS does not provide a truly quantitative measure of connection strength (Jones, 2010; Jones et al., 2013; Sotiropoulos and Zalesky, 2019; Yeh et al., 2020).”

The first category of quantitative measures is based on tractography data alone and is often used to define connectivity strength.
“The first category of quantitative measures are based on the tractography data alone, which are often used to define the connectivity strength (Jones, 2010; Smith et al., 2020a; Sotiropoulos and Zalesky, 2019; Yeh et al., 2020).”

“For this reason, they are error prone and the results can be more difficult to quantify compared with those of corresponding invasive methods.(25) They also offer substantially lower spatial resolution than chemical tracers and microscopic techniques and they cannot estimate the directionality of connections.”

“Tractography and network analysis both have their own limitations (Jeurissen et al., 2019; Sotiropoulos and Zalesky, 2019), which, in combination with the limitations of NODDI, means that caution is required when interpreting the data.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
