Abstract : In this paper, we propose an application of diffusion maps to fiber tract clustering in the human skeletal muscle. To this end, we define a metric between fiber tracts that encompasses both diffusion and localization information. This metric is incorporated in the diffusion maps framework and clustering is done in the embedding space using k-means. Experimental validation of the method is performed over a dataset of diffusion tensor images of the calf muscle of thirty subjects and comparison is done with respect to ground-truth segmentation provided by an expert.
