mexReadDWIList ============== .. code-block:: none % mexReadDWIList: read dwi images, gradient files, and b values % % Usage: % [dwi4D, bVector, gradMatrix, b0Image3D] = mexReadDWIList(txtFile, params) % [dwi4D, bVector, gradMatrix] = mexReadDWIList(txtFile) % % INPUT % txtFile : file name which includes DWI files, b values, gradient files. % * ******in data.txt******************* % * 650 grad1.txt dwi1.nii index1.txt % * 1500 grad2.txt dwi2.nii index2.txt % * 3000 grad3.txt dwi3.nii index3.txt % * ************************************ % * Each line is for a single shell data. % * If the dimension N in grad.txt is smaller than the dimension M in dwi.nii, the first M-N dimension in dwi.hpp is for b0 image % * index.txt (optional) shows the index requested for reading. % * dwi.hdr can be stored as VectorImage or Image % * % * ******in data.txt********************* % * b1.txt grad1.txt dwi1.nii index1.txt % * b2.txt grad2.txt dwi2.nii index2.txt % * b3.txt grad3.txt dwi3.nii index3.txt % * ************************************** % * b.txt and grad.txt should have the same dimension. In this format, it is not necessary to have the same b values in b1.txt, b2.txt, etc % % % params.b0Image : A 3D image for b0. If it is set, then the b0 image should not be in the data.txt, % which means the dimension of grad1.txt and dwi.nii.gz should have the same size. % If it is not set and grad1.txt and dwi.nii.gz have the same size, then the values of b0Image are all one. % % params.normalize : If it is true, then normalize the DWI data using b0 image. % The default value is true % % params.bThreshold : If it is positive, then correct b values by grouping the b values whose difference is smaller than the bThreshold. % The default value is -1 % % params.correctDWI : correct DWI values if it is more than the value in b0 image or if it is no more than 0. % params.warn : if it is true, print some warnings if the dwi values are abnormal (i.e. zero, negative, larger than b0 value) % % % % OUTPUT % dwi4D : 4D dwi image % bVector : vector of b values % grad : Nx3 matrix, each row is a point in sphere. % b0Image : 3D b0 image % % Copyright (c) 2013, Jian Cheng %
