CT2MNI152

This repository implement the affine and deformation transformation in order to register the CT scan to the MNI152 1mm space

The input CT scan MUST be in .nii.gz file format.

• For data format converting tool, you are able to use c3d from ITK

• For converting DICOM to NIFTI, you are able to use dcm2nii

• You can also use ITK-SNAP to covert a series of DICOM scans to a single .nii.gz scan

• Please cite the following reference paper and this repository if it helps your research.

Dependencies

Python 2.7

1. You have to install FSL in your local machine.

$ sudo apt-get install fsl

2. You have to install elastix in your local machine as well.

$ sudo apt-get install elastix

3. You have to install SimpleITK package in python

$ pip install SimpleITK

You can apply the affine transformation on a given ct scan with nifti format by

$ python CT2MNI152Affine.py <location_of_ct_scan>
