# Comparisons to other pipelines

Other pipelines for preprocessing DWI data are currently being developed.
Below are tables comparing their current feature sets.
These other pipelines include:

 * [Tractoflow](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.116889)
 * [PreQual](https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.14.260240)
 * [MRtrix3_connectome](https://github.com/BIDS-Apps/MRtrix3_connectome)
