## Why TRX?

A typical MRtrix3 tractography pipeline for one subject produces **at least six separate files** that must travel together:

MRtrix streamline file format (tck) is just coordinates. Additional metadata is stored in separate files. You may gather these kinds of files as you

tracks.tck ← 5–15 GB geometry

sift2_weights.csv ← per-streamline weights

assignments.txt ← node-pair labels (tck2connectome)

connectome.csv ← connectivity matrix

node_names.txt ← atlas label list

exemplar_bundles.zip ← optional

scalar_vertices.tsf ← per-vertex data

Lose or misplace one, and downstream analyses break silently — wrong weights get applied, the connectome is recomputed without normalisation, or the wrong atlas is used.

**[TRX](https://github.com/tee-ar-ex/trx-spec)** (Tractography Exchange) is a container format that stores geometry, per-streamline data (dps), per-vertex data (dpv), and group memberships together in a single zip file. This walkthrough demonstrates a complete tractography pipeline run two ways — classic TCK-based and TRX-based — on the same HCP subject, showing that the outputs are numerically identical while the TRX pipeline requires fewer files and fewer commands.
