FLAIR
This module performs normalization of the T2/FLAIR images based on the gray and white matter modes. The image is then registered to nativepro, then mapped to fsnative, fsLR-5k, fsLR-32k, and fsaverage5 surfaces.
Prerequisites 🖐🏼
You need to run -proc_structural
, -proc_surf
and -post_structural
before this stage
Processing steps
- GM and WM segmentation of flair
- Bias field correction weighted by white matter
- Get the mode for each tissue: GM and WM
- Normalize intensities by peak of WM (mode). This normalization will center the peak of the WM mode intensity at ZERO.
- Brains mask of the normalized flair
- Registration of flair to nativepro
- Map flair midthickness to fsLR-32k, fsLR-5k and fsaverage5
Usage
Terminal:
$ micapipe -bids <BIDS-directory> -sub <subject_id> -out <outputDirectory> -proc_flair <options>
Optional arguments: -proc_flair
has one optional argument;
Optional argument | Description |
---|---|
-flairScanStr <path> |
String to manually identify the T2/FLAIR scan for processing (eg. anat/sub-001<flairScanStr>.nii[.gz]) Default='FLAIR' |
