Fiber Viewer

NORA includes  fiberviewer based on webGL and Babylon.js. The main features are:

  • Supports TCK (mrtrix) and TRK (TrackVis) formats
  • Fiber Manipulations
    • Interactive selection by variable sized spheres
    • Interactive deletion by variable sized sphere
    • Selection and Deletion of tracts by ROIs 
    • Selection by sphere sets, (annotation type: poinset) 
    • Selection by waypoints (annotation type: freeline)
    • Selection by DBS electrodes
  • Rendering 
    • Vistmaps (fiber densities) 
    • Terminalmaps 
    • LIveupdate of visit/terminal maps
  • Tracking
    • a simplistic fibertracking algorithm based on tensor/orientationl fields is provided

Starting the fiber viewer

Choose an appropriate background image (like a T1w) and simply drop a tck or trk file into a viewport and the viewer will automatically switch to 3D mode a displays the fibers. An additional viewbar appears, which is associated with the loaded tracts. The viewbars allows you manipulate the streamlines, select subsets, etc. Here a short overview:

Fiber Selection 

  • Manually:
    Hold Shift key pressed, a yellow sphere appears when hovering with mouse over the tracking, click to select all fibers going through the
  • By ROI:
  • By Annotation:


Cropping Selections and iterative selections.
