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 will allow a "protocol" based execution via parameter files. The parameter files contain all the settings/preferences/options and this file can be created using the tool's GUI. This tool will handle the conversion of DICOM data to volumetric image formats (NRRD), perform automated quality control, correct data if possible, possibly reject parts of the data and provide a reporting facility.
