anat-from-MNI

This is a Python code to find the anatomical brain region of a MNI coordinate.

The original code is a matlab one from Xu Cui found in his website

The TDdatabase.mat file is also found in Xu Cui's website

How to use it?

Let's find the structure of two points in MNI coordinates (58,-29,19) and (30,9,12):

     mni=[[58,-29,19],[30,9,12]]
     [one_line,table]=find_structure(mni)

We see the results

    >>> one_line[0]
    ' // Right Cerebrum // Parietal Lobe // Postcentral Gyrus // Gray Matter // brodmann area 40 // Temporal_Sup_R (aal)'
    >>> one_line[1]
    ' // Right Cerebrum // Sub-lobar // Extra-Nuclear // White Matter // undefined // undefined'
    >>> table
    [['Right Cerebrum',
  'Parietal Lobe',
  'Postcentral Gyrus',
  'Gray Matter',
  'brodmann area 40',
  'Temporal_Sup_R (aal)'],
 ['Right Cerebrum',
  'Sub-lobar',
  'Extra-Nuclear',
  'White Matter',
  'undefined',
  'undefined']]
