dwibiascorrect

Synopsis

dwibiascorrect [ options ] input output
  • input: The input image series to be corrected
  • output: The output corrected image series

Description

Perform B1 field inhomogeneity correction for a DWI volume series

Options

Options for the dwibiascorrect script

  • -mask Manually provide a mask image for bias field estimation
  • -bias Output the estimated bias field
  • -ants Use ANTS N4 to estimate the inhomogeneity field
  • -fsl Use FSL FAST to estimate the inhomogeneity field
  • -grad Pass the diffusion gradient table in MRtrix format
  • -fslgrad bvecs bvals Pass the diffusion gradient table in FSL bvecs/bvals format

Standard options

  • -continue <TempDir> <LastFile> Continue the script from a previous execution; must provide the temporary directory path, and the name of the last successfully-generated file
  • -force Force overwrite of output files if pre-existing
  • -help Display help information for the script
  • -nocleanup Do not delete temporary files during script, or temporary directory at script completion
  • -nthreads number Use this number of threads in MRtrix multi-threaded applications (0 disables multi-threading)
  • -tempdir /path/to/tmp/ Manually specify the path in which to generate the temporary directory
  • -quiet Suppress all console output during script execution
  • -verbose Display additional information for every command invoked
