dwigradcheck

Synopsis

Check the orientation of the diffusion gradient table

Usage

dwigradcheck input [ options ]
  • input: The input DWI series to be checked

Description

Note that the corrected gradient table can be output using the -export_grad_{mrtrix,fsl} option.

Options

  • -mask image Provide a brain mask image

  • -number Set the number of tracks to generate for each test

Options for importing the diffusion gradient table

  • -grad Provide the diffusion gradient table in MRtrix format

  • -fslgrad bvecs bvals Provide the diffusion gradient table in FSL bvecs/bvals format

Options for exporting the diffusion gradient table

  • -export_grad_mrtrix grad Export the final gradient table in MRtrix format

  • -export_grad_fsl bvecs bvals Export the final gradient table in FSL bvecs/bvals format

Additional standard options for Python scripts

  • -nocleanup do not delete intermediate files during script execution, and do not delete scratch directory at script completion.

  • -scratch /path/to/scratch/ manually specify the path in which to generate the scratch directory.

  • -continue <ScratchDir> <LastFile> continue the script from a previous execution; must provide the scratch directory path, and the name of the last successfully-generated file.

Standard options

  • -info display information messages.

  • -quiet do not display information messages or progress status. Alternatively, this can be achieved by setting the MRTRIX_QUIET environment variable to a non-empty string.

  • -debug display debugging messages.

  • -force force overwrite of output files.

  • -nthreads number use this number of threads in multi-threaded applications (set to 0 to disable multi-threading).

  • -config key value (multiple uses permitted) temporarily set the value of an MRtrix config file entry.

  • -help display this information page and exit.

  • -version display version information and exit.
