Abstract
A method for generating data indicating a degree of anatomical connectivity for each of a plurality of image elements, each image element representing a part of a body to be imaged. The method comprises for each of a plurality of image elements, that image element and others of said plurality of image elements; for each of said plurality of image elements, generating data indicating a degree of connectivity of that image element, said degree of connectivity being based upon said plurality of generated data sets.

A method for generating data indicating a degree of connectivity for each of a plurality of image elements, each image element representing a part of a body to be imaged, the method comprising:
- for each of a plurality of image elements, generating a data set indicating connections between that image element and others of said plurality of image elements;
- and
- for each of said plurality of image elements, generating data indicating a degree of connectivity of that image element, said degree of connectivity being based upon said plurality of generated data sets.
A method for generating data indicating likelihood of diffusion in each of a plurality of directions at an image element of an image representing a part of a body being imaged, the method comprising:
- generating a plurality of estimates of each of said plurality of directions of diffusion from said image data;
- and
- generating said data indicating likelihood of diffusion in each of said plurality of directions based upon said plurality of estimates.
