Objective
We are developing a GUI/command line tool for DWI QC and DTI preparing.
- 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 data, as well as FA/MD
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 handles the conversion of DICOM data to NRRD format, perform 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
