Pujol S., Gollub R. National Alliance for Medical Image Computing Scalar maps The tensors derived from diffusion tensor imaging describe complex diffusion in tissues. Scalar measures that map the three- dimensional eigenvalues of the diffusion tensor into scalar values provide efficient solutions for extracting desired aspects of the tensors. In the following section, we’ll compute exemplar scalar maps: the Relative Anisotropy map and the Fractional Anisotropy map.

Pujol S., Gollub R. National Alliance for Medical Image Computing Computing Relative Anisotropy The Relative Anisotropy (RA) represents the ratio of the anisotropic part of D to its isotropic part: where
