AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Sorry for the delay. This was quite a bit more complicated than we had hoped. Rick Reynolds and I have spent some time on this problem. This Siemens DICOM data is both oblique and in reversed order in the mosaic EPI data and in the non-mosaic anatomical data. Changes that will be available in the next binary distribution will allow you to read the data in like this. The option -oblique_origin has been added to to3d and to 3drefit to reset the origin and orientation from the obliquity transformation matrix. Another option, -reverse_list, makes it more convenient to reverse the order of the list.

# for the anat dataset, reverse the list of files
to3d -prefix anat -reverse_list 2dAnatomy/*.dcm

# for the epi dataset, use origin computed by obliquity
# epi dicom data is in current directory and in mosaic format
to3d -prefix epi -oblique_origin *.dcm

If you didn't use the -oblique_origin option, the origin could later be applied with the new option of the same name for 3drefit:

3drefit -oblique_origin epi+orig


Alternatively, datasets can always be read in more generically specifying the fields of view and orientation like this.

# (right to left, then superior to inferior and then slices posterior to inferior)
to3d -prefix anat96_24 -xFOV 96R-L -yFOV 96S-I -zFOV 24P-A 2dAnatomy/*.dcm
# for the EPI, the data appears to be RSA (slices are in opposite order-reversed by a scanner
# display setting)
to3d -prefix epi96 -xFOV 96R-L -yFOV 96S-I -zFOV 24A-P *.dcm

# remove the obliquity information from the datasets because it's not right anyway
3drefit -deoblique anat96_24+orig
3drefit -deoblique epi96_24+orig
