=========================
Calculate Path Length Map
=========================
We show how to calculate a Path Length Map for Anisotropic Radiation Therapy
Contours given a set of streamlines and a region of interest (ROI).
The Path Length Map is a volume in which each voxel's value is the shortest
distance along a streamline to a given region of interest (ROI). This map can
be used to anisotropically modify radiation therapy treatment contours based
on a tractography model of the local white matter anatomy, as described in
:footcite:p:`Jordan2019`, by executing this tutorial with the gross tumor volume
(GTV) as the ROI.
.. note::
The background value is set to -1 by default
Let's start by importing the necessary modules.
