About the workshop
We are very excited to announce the 3rd official MRtrix 3 Workshop and the first edition away from Europe. It will be held in Ribeirao Preto, SP, Brazil from February 8th to 12th, 2020. This workshop edition will be part of the InBrain Workshop: Advanced Brain Imaging, an ISMRM endorsed event. ​
​
MRtrix3 provides a set of tools to perform various types of diffusion MRI analyses, from various forms of tractography through to next-generation group-level analyses. It is designed with consistency, performance, and stability in mind, and is freely available under an open-source license. It is developed and maintained by a team of experts in the field, fostering an active community of users from diverse backgrounds.​​
This 4½ day hands-on workshop will cover the theory and practice of diffusion analysis, covering the range of techniques available within MRtrix3.
Participants will each be provided with a desktop, pre-installed with the relevant software and data. Participants that wish to bring their own laptops or data are of course welcome to do so, and we will do our best to accommodate them.
