  • Patent number: 9720062
    Abstract: A process for generating enhanced resolution images of fibrous tissue within a portion of a body being sampled, including accessing source data representing a distribution of the tissue orientations for a plurality of discrete sample imaging elements defined within the portion based on a first imaging resolution; generating, based on the source data, streamline data representing a plurality of fiber tracks, each representing an estimated path of fibers in the tissue within the portion; generating an output matrix for a plurality of discrete output imaging elements within the portion based on a second imaging resolution that provides higher imaging resolution than the first imaging resolution; generating, for each output imaging element, image data including intensity data based on a number of fiber tracks at a location corresponding to the output imaging element; and generating display data for a device to display an enhanced image generated based on the image data.
