Limits to anatomical accuracy of diffusion tractography using modern approaches
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Diffusion MRI fiber tractography is widely used to probe the structural connectivity of the brain, with a range of applications in both clinical and basic neuroscience. Despite widespread use, tractography has well-known pitfalls that limits the anatomical accuracy of this technique. Numerous modern methods have been developed to address these shortcomings through advances in acquisition, modeling, and computation. To test whether these advances improve tractography accuracy, we organized the 3-D Validation of Tractography with Experimental MRI (3D-VoTEM) challenge at the ISBI 2018 conference. We made available three unique independent tractography validation datasets - a physical phantom and two ex vivo brain specimens - resulting in 176 distinct submissions from 9 research groups. By comparing results over a wide range of fiber complexities and algorithmic strategies, this challenge provides a more comprehensive assessment of tractography's inherent limitations than has been reported previously. The central results were consistent across all sub-challenges in that, despite advances in tractography methods, the anatomical accuracy of tractography has not dramatically improved in recent years. Taken together, our results independently confirm findings from decades of tractography validation studies, demonstrate inherent limitations in reconstructing white matter pathways using diffusion MRI data alone, and highlight the need for alternative or combinatorial strategies to accurately map the fiber pathways of the brain.

“A specific limitation inherent to probabilistic streamline tractography is the fiber-length bias: local uncertainties in the fiber orientation distribution at each step in the tracking process accumulate to produce global errors for longer streamlines, leading to an underestimation of connectivity weights at greater distances.”

“Even with these relatively simple post-processing approaches, the results of this study serve to echo recent tractography validation reviews that suggest that the future of tractography connectomics hinges on the incorporation of more advanced anatomical and microstructural priors to tractography pipelines in order to address geometric and other biases and make streamlines more quantitative and”

“Recent efforts to validate tractography have uncovered several limitations, and even modern approaches still produce high numbers of both false positive and false negative tracts (Aydogan et al., 2018; Maier-Hein et al., 2017; Schilling et al., 2019; Thomas et al., 2014).”

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.
