PV6 Supine vs Prone does not change conversion

[gdevenyi]

I have been collecting validation datasets for conversion and run into a conversion bug, which was handled properly in 0.3.4, and is wrong in HEAD.

I have a phantom brain in the scanner, physically in the orientation "Head First Prone". I have collected two scans, with PV6 configured as Quadruped, and one scan "Head First Prone" and another "Head First Supine".

brkraw info properly reports the difference in the data:

However, after conversion, both the datasets are in the same orientation:

Left: correct orientation
Middle: incorrect orientation, should be rotated

The last commit to touch this code was: eaa6db0

In 0.3.4, it looks like subj_position is ignored for PV6 and applied to PV5, where as in master, it is applied unconditionally.

[gdevenyi]

It looks like perhaps the existing affine from bruker is actually correct and the additional corrections added were due to confusion regarding the exact orientation of previous phantom test data?

[gdevenyi]

Confirmed with PV5 as well, that just skipping the correction orientation by adding pass here:
https://github.com/BrkRaw/bruker/blob/master/brkraw/lib/orient.py#L24

Results in correct orientations for the Supine/Prone positions.

I will hold off on making any changes yet, as I want to collect all orientations and "subject types" in both PV5 and PV6 in a single session with the phantom universally in the "Head First Prone" position. I think perhaps we may be able to do away with most of this code.

@gdevenyi Sorry for the delay regarding the update of this software. I tried to make the final orientation to be oriented on subject whether the animal positioned supine or prone. So if the resulted orientation is always the same. I think it is correct.

Please let me know if I mis-catch your point. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, please see email to your github listed email for a orientation dataset to sort this out.
