We work on the first step towards building a fiber bundle atlas on porcine
hearts with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) by (1) generating porcine heart
fiber models from DTI data, (2) clustering the DTI fibers, and (3) matching
cross-subject DTI fiber bundles. We also explore the effects of different
distance thresholds on the DTI fiber bundle clustering and matching. Our
results show that (1) complete-linkage leads to greater number of matches
than single-linkage; (2) the smaller the minimum distance threshold is, the
more matched bundles are obtained; (3) several fiber bundles are consistently
matched across subjects with different sets of parameters.
