While a number of post processing packages have been developed, fully automated processing of DTI datasets on Windows Operating System remains challenging. Here, we developed a MATLAB toolbox named "Diffusion Connectome Pipeline" (DCP) for fully automated constructing brain structure network. The processing modules of a few developed packages, including Diffusion Toolkit, DiffusionKit, SPM and MRIcron, were employed in DCP. Using any number of raw DTI datasets from different subjects, in either DICOM or NIfTI format, DCP can automatically perform a series of steps to construct network. #Parcell octave download windows 圆4 series# In addition, DCP has a friendly graphical user interface (GUI) running on the Windows Operating System, allowing the user to be interactive and to adjust the input/output settings, as well as the processing parameters. As an open-source package, DCP is freely available at. This novel toolbox is expected to substantially simplify the image processing of DTI datasets and facilitate human brain structural connectome studies. Stroke is one of the leading causes of substantial disability worldwide. Previous studies have shown brain functional and structural alterations in adults with stroke. However, few studies have examined the longitudinal reorganization in whole-brain structural networks in stroke. Here, we applied graph theoretical analysis to investigate the longitudinal topological organization of white matter networks in 20 ischemic stroke patients with a one-month interval between two timepoints. Two sets of clinical scores, Fugl-Meyer motor assessment (FMA) and neurological deficit scores (NDS), were assessed for all patients on the day the image data were collected. The stroke patients exhibited significant increases in FMA scores and significant reductions in DNS between the two timepoints. ![]() ![]() ![]() #Parcell octave download windows 圆4 series#. ![]()
