dipy_fit_mapmri#
Synopsis#
Workflow for fitting the MAPMRI model (with optional Laplacian regularization). Generates rtop, lapnorm, msd, qiv, rtap, rtpp, non-gaussian (ng), parallel ng, perpendicular ng saved in a nifti format in input files provided by data_files and saves the nifti files to an output directory specified by out_dir.
In order for the MAPMRI workflow to work in the way intended either the Laplacian or positivity or both must be set to True.
Usage#
dipy_fit_mapmri [OPTIONS] data_files bvals_files bvecs_files small_delta big_delta
Input Parameters#
data_files
Path to the input volume.
bvals_files
Path to the bval files.
bvecs_files
Path to the bvec files.
small_delta
Small delta value used in generation of gradient table of provided bval and bvec.
big_delta
Big delta value used in generation of gradient table of provided bval and bvec.
General Options#
--b0_threshold
Threshold used to find b0 volumes. (default: 50.0)
--laplacian
Regularize using the Laplacian of the MAP-MRI basis. (default: True)
--positivity
Constrain the propagator to be positive. (default: True)
--bval_threshold
Sets the b-value threshold to be used in the scale factor estimation. In order for the estimated non-Gaussianity to have meaning this value should set to a lower value (b<2000 s/mm^2) such that the scale factors are estimated on signal points that reasonably represent the spins at Gaussian diffusion. (default: 2000)
--save_metrics
List of metrics to save. Possible values: rtop, laplacian_signal, msd, qiv, rtap, rtpp, ng, perng, parng (default: ())
--laplacian_weighting
Weighting value used in fitting the MAPMRI model in the Laplacian and both model types. (default: 0.05)
--radial_order
Even value used to set the order of the basis. (default: 6)
--sphere_name
Sphere name on which to reconstruct the fODFs. (default: None)
--relative_peak_threshold
Only return peaks greater than
relative_peak_threshold * m
where m is the largest peak. (default: 0.5)--min_separation_angle
The minimum distance between directions. If two peaks are too close only the larger of the two is returned. (default: 25)
--npeaks
Maximum number of peaks found. (default: 5)
--normalize_peaks
If true, all peak values are calculated relative to max(odf). (default: False)
--extract_pam_values
Save or not to save pam volumes as single nifti files. (default: False)
Output Options#
--out_dir
Output directory. (default: current directory)
--out_rtop
Name of the rtop to be saved. (default: rtop.nii.gz)
--out_lapnorm
