Here we evaluate whether the automatic tractography tool TRActs Constrained by UnderLying Anatomy (TRACULA) is sensitive enough to detect bilateral scalar metric abnormalities in unilateral TLE. White matter tract analysis of DTI-derived metrics reveals significant differences between subject groups. This tool may provide a sensitive, fast and reproducible assessment of patients’ tracts in clinical settings.
