Usage

dipy_fit_ivim [-h] [–split_b_D int] [–split_b_S0 int] [–b0_threshold int] [–save_metrics [str …]] [–out_dir str] [–out_S0_predicted str]

[–out_perfusion_fraction str] [–out_D_star str] [–out_D str] input_files bvalues_files bvectors_files mask_files

Workflow for Intra-voxel Incoherent Motion reconstruction and for computing IVIM metrics. Performs a IVIM reconstruction on the files by ‘globing’ input_files and saves the IVIM metrics in a directory specified by out_dir.

Positional Arguments

input_files Path to the input volumes. This path may contain wildcards to process multiple inputs at once. bvalues_files Path to the bvalues files. This path may contain wildcards to use multiple bvalues files at once. bvectors_files Path to the bvalues files. This path may contain wildcards to use multiple bvalues files at once. mask_files Path to the input masks. This path may contain wildcards to use multiple masks at once. (default: No mask used)
