#!/bin/tcsh -f # Simple examples of performing deterministic ('-mode DET') # tractography, for HARDI data (assumes previous viewing of # Do_05*dti.tcsh for DTI tracking. Here, DSI-Studio's GQI model was # used for reconstructing the same DWI/DTI data collected, with up to # 3 directions per voxel. The Do*tcsh file for *that* reconstruction # and conversion to NIFTI files in DSI-Studio is located in this # directory, in case you are interested. It also includes # instructions for a QBall reconstruction (no charge!). # HARDI deterministic tracking considerations are preeetty similar to # those for DTI. We'll mirror most of the DTI examples. Note that # the GFA values tend to be a lot smaller than the FA values, so the # threshold we're using here is 0.04. # A) Deterministic whole-brain tracking; set of targets is just the # volume mask. This can be useful for diagnostic purposes, sanity # check for gradients+data, for interactively selecting interesting # subsets later, etc. This uses most of the default algopts, but # sets a higher minimum length for keeping tracks: printf "\n\nA) WHOLE BRAIN TRACKING:\n" 3dTrackID -mode DET \ -hardi_gfa HARDI/GQI_GFA.nii.gz \ -hardi_dirs HARDI/GQI_DIRS.nii.gz \ -netrois mask_DWI+orig \ -logic OR \ -alg_Thresh_FA 0.04 \ -alg_Thresh_Len 30 \ -prefix HARDI/o.WB_HAR \ -overwrite -echo_edu # B) Track through the 3dROIMaker-produced networks, AND logic. # And, for interest, output the six main tracking parameters that # could be set in an '-algopt' file (in nice NIML format). # This will search for scalar files with the prefix given after # '-hardi_pars'-- note that since both the GFA file and '-hardi_pars' # files have the same prefix, there will be a repeated matrix in the # grid files.
