warp2metric

Synopsis

Compute fixel-wise or voxel-wise metrics from a 4D deformation field

Usage

warp2metric [ options ]  in
  • in: the input deformation field

Options

  • -fc template_fixel_directory output_fixel_directory output_fixel_data use an input template fixel image to define fibre orientations and output a fixel image describing the change in fibre cross-section (FC) in the perpendicular plane to the fixel orientation. e.g. warp2metric warp.mif -fc fixel_template_directory output_fixel_directory fc.mif
  • -jmat output output a Jacobian matrix image stored in column-major order along the 4th dimension.Note the output jacobian describes the warp gradient w.r.t the scanner space coordinate system
  • -jdet output output the Jacobian determinant instead of the full matrix

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 (caution: using the same file as input and output might cause unexpected behaviour).
  • -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.
