ihMT-MoCo [1] cannot be included in this repository since under license. The script is freely available, provided that the End User License Agreement is signed, at: https://crmbm.univ-amu.fr/ihmt-moco/
- ihMT-MoCo requires the BET tool from FSL
-
DICOMs handling: dcm2niix package & set in the PATH variable
-
Degibbsing:
- unring: mrdegibbs through MRtrix3
- cosine apodization (python3 with nibabel & numpy): provided apodize_cos.py script
-
Denoising: MP-PCA: dwidenoise through MRtrix3
-
ihMTsat computation:
- ihMTsat computation [2] is made possible (fit_ihMTsat_CLI.py), providing pre-processed ihMT and co-registered T1 map as minimal image inputs.
- See -h option for further description about inputs/outputs.
- The script requires up-to-date Python (developed on 3.8.2) with numpy (≥ 1.19.4), scipy (≥ 1.5.4) and nibabel (≥ 3.2.0) packages.
