Abstract :
A new color coding scheme which can fully retrieve the directional information of diffusion tensor image (DTI) with maximum use of the color space is proposed and implemented. This new scheme overcomes the loss of directional information in conventional schemes and easy to implement. Comparison between the new scheme and the conventional color coding method are presented using the DTI data of human brain.
