Key Investigators

- Utah: Casey Goodlett, Guido Gerig, Tom Fletcher
Objective
We are developing a GUI/command line tool for DWI/DTI QC and preparation.
- Both a GUI and command line tool
- "Study-specific Protocol" based
- Handles NRRD and MINC2 formats
- Image/diffusion information check
- Padding/Cropping of data
- Slice-wise, interlace-wise and gradient-wise intensity and motion check
- Motion/Eddy current correction
- DTI computing
Approach, Plan
The tool allows a "protocol" based execution via parameter files. The parameter file contains all the settings/preferences/options and can be created using the tool's GUI. This tool performs automated quality control, correct data if possible, possibly reject parts of the data and provide a reporting facility.
Our plan for the project week is to:
- Add MINC2 support
- Tune intergrations with other tools
Progress
- Separate command-line tools for DWI QC has been uploaded into NeuroLib:
- DWIQCSliceChecker: for slice-wise intensity-related artifacts detection and gradient exclusion.
- DWIQCInterlaceChecker: for interlace-wise Venetian blind artifacts detection and gradient exclusion.
- DWIQCGradientChecker: for gradient-wise motion artifacts detection and gradient exclusion.
- DWIBaselineAverager: for optimized multiple-b0 volume average in a nrrd DWI file.
- DTIPrep will be updated soon with these new QC tools to give more flexibility to the QC/Prep pipeline.
- I am still struggling with MINC2 :(.
