NAME

dt2nii - Converts Camino tensors to nii files.

 

SYNOPSIS

dt2nii -inputfile <file> -outputroot <root> -header <header>

 

DESCRIPTION

Reads Camino diffusion tensors, and converts them to NIFTI format. The output is three nii files:
   
  ${root}dt.nii - diffusion tensors.
  ${root}exitcode.nii - exit codes from Camino reconstruction.
  ${root}lns0.nii - estimated lns0 from Camino reconstruction.

The supplied nii header (which may or may not be attached to an image) is used to initialize all NIFTI header fields for the output. The following fields are overwritten:


  dim[0]      - set to 5 for the dt file, 3 for other images
  intent_code - set to NIFTI_INTENT_SYMMATRIX for the dt, NIFTI_INTENT_NONE for the others
  intent_name - set to "camino dt2nii"
  scl_slope   - set to 1
  scl_inter   - set to 0

 

EXAMPLES

Straight pipeline


    cat data.Bfloat | dtfit - schemefile | dt2nii -header image.nii -outputroot camino_

Convert an existing tensor file dt.Bfloat


    dt2nii -inputfile dt.Bfloat -inputdatatype float -header image.nii -outputroot camino_
 

 

OPTIONS

-outputroot <root>
Prepended onto output file names.

-header <header>
A Nifti .nii or .hdr file containing the header information. Usually this will be the header of the raw data file from which the diffusion tensors were reconstructed.

BUGS

Doesn't output gzipped images because the niftijlib code does not support compressed output.
