interfaces.camino.convert¶
AnalyzeHeader¶
Wraps command analyzeheader
Create or read an Analyze 7.5 header file.
Analyze image header, provides support for the most common header fields. Some fields, such as patient_id, are not currently supported. The program allows three nonstandard options: the field image_dimension.funused1 is the image scale. The intensity of each pixel in the associated .img file is (image value from file) * scale. Also, the origin of the Talairach coordinates (midline of the anterior commisure) are encoded in the field data_history.originator. These changes are included for compatibility with SPM.
All headers written with this program are big endian by default.
Example¶
>>> import nipype.interfaces.camino as cmon
>>> hdr = cmon.AnalyzeHeader()
>>> hdr.inputs.in_file = 'tensor_fitted_data.Bdouble'
>>> hdr.inputs.scheme_file = 'A.scheme'

NIfTIDT2Camino¶
Wraps command niftidt2camino
Converts NIFTI-1 diffusion tensors to Camino format. The program reads the NIFTI header but does not apply any spatial transformations to the data. The NIFTI intensity scaling parameters are applied.
The output is the tensors in Camino voxel ordering: [exit, ln(S0), dxx, dxy, dxz, dyy, dyz, dzz].
The exit code is set to 0 unless a background mask is supplied, in which case the code is 0 in brain voxels and -1 in background voxels.
The value of ln(S0) in the output is taken from a file if one is supplied, otherwise it is set to 0.
NOTE FOR FSL USERS - FSL’s dtifit can output NIFTI tensors, but they are not stored in the usual way (which is using NIFTI_INTENT_SYMMATRIX). FSL’s tensors follow the ITK / VTK “upper-triangular” convention, so you will need to use the -uppertriangular option to convert these correctly.
Inputs:
[Mandatory]
in_file: (an existing file name)

assumed to be in lower-triangular order as specified by the NIFTI

Splits the streamlines at the seed point and computes separate
connection probabilities for each segment. Streamline segments are
grouped according to their dot product with the vector (X, Y, Z).
The ideal vector will be tangential to the streamline trajectory at
the seed, such that the streamline projects from the seed along (X,
Y, Z) and -(X, Y, Z). However, it is only necessary for the
streamline trajectory to not be orthogonal to (X, Y, Z).
flag: -directional %s

This option allows streamlines to enter a waypoint exactly once.
After the streamline leaves the waypoint, the entire streamline is
discarded upon a second entry to the waypoint.

flag: -outputtracts
regionindex: (an integer (int or long))
index of specific region to process
flag: -regionindex %d
resamplestepsize: (a float)
Each point on a streamline is tested for entry into target,
exclusion or waypoint volumes. If the length between points on a
tract is not much smaller than the voxel length, then streamlines
may pass through part of a voxel without being counted. To avoid
this, the program resamples streamlines such that the step size is
one tenth of the smallest voxel dimension in the image. This
increases the size of raw or oogl streamline output and incurs some
performance penalty. The resample resolution can be controlled with
this option or disabled altogether by passing a negative step size
or by passing the -noresample option.

Shredder¶
Wraps command shredder
Extracts periodic chunks from a data stream.
Shredder makes an initial offset of offset bytes. It then reads and outputs chunksize bytes, skips space bytes, and repeats until there is no more input.
If the chunksize is negative, chunks of size chunksize are read and the byte ordering of each chunk is reversed. The whole chunk will be reversed, so the chunk must be the same size as the data type, otherwise the order of the values in the chunk, as well as their endianness, will be reversed.
Examples¶
>>> import nipype.interfaces.camino as cam
>>> shred = cam.Shredder()
>>> shred.inputs.in_file = 'SubjectA.Bfloat'
>>> shred.inputs.offset = 0

tractshredder works in a similar way to shredder, but processes streamlines instead of scalar data. The input is raw streamlines, in the format produced by track or procstreamlines.
