Automatic Shape-Sensitive Curve Clustering (§4.1.2) --- distance measure definition, distributed clustering algorithm, spectral clustering refinement, comparison to other techniques. Base on q-ball and DTI tractography from DTK; use Mori's atlas for ground truth? [moberts/van_wijk/vilanova might have a ground truth. Song Zhang had a clustering ground truth paper. Cagatay played with this at some point. bang not huge, how big is the buck? but I could be convinced -- not sure this is a vis paper? but it could be.]

A Sparse, Volumetric Representation of Space Curve Clusters (§4.1.4) --- the benefit of the initial form of the macrostructure model is its ability to reconstruct its input curves. The evaluation on this should be relatively easy, as there is no comparison to other techniques. A manual clustering is acceptable but automatic clustering that implies some bound on reconstruction error would probably be better. Good for Vis, SIGGRAPH, EG, EV, I3D, ISMRM.

Automatic Tractography Repair / "Healing a Broken Tractogram" --- ISMRM poster: demonstrate repairing broken curves by clustering, macrostructure generation, and then bridging gaps (§4.1.5).

Automatic Tractography-Based DW-MRI Segmentation --- using DTI/QBI, automatic clustering, and simple macrostructure adjustment (dilation, splitting, merging, bridging gaps, §4.1.5), segment the WM and compare to some ground truth. Mori's atlas?

A ??? (§4.2.1) --- generating synthetic images from the macrostructure model. Who would care about this? Possible improvement over Leemans, et al. due to gap-filling? [use data matching to support that the model is good, and wave hands about the usefulness of the higher-level model -- has a bigger bang feel than the clustering one]
