interfaces.quickshear¶
Quickshear¶
Wraps the executable command quickshear
.
Quickshear is a simple geometric defacing algorithm
Given an anatomical image and a reasonable brainmask, Quickshear estimates a shearing plane with the brain mask on one side and the face on the other, zeroing out the face side.
>>> from nipype.interfaces.quickshear import Quickshear
>>> qs = Quickshear(in_file='T1.nii', mask_file='brain_mask.nii')
>>> qs.cmdline
'quickshear T1.nii brain_mask.nii T1_defaced.nii'
In the absence of a precomputed mask, a simple pipeline can be generated with any tool that generates brain masks:
>>> from nipype.pipeline import engine as pe
>>> from nipype.interfaces import utility as niu
>>> from nipype.interfaces.fsl import BET
>>> deface_wf = pe.Workflow('deface_wf')
>>> inputnode = pe.Node(niu.IdentityInterface(['in_file']),
... name='inputnode')
>>> outputnode = pe.Node(niu.IdentityInterface(['out_file']),
... name='outputnode')
>>> bet = pe.Node(BET(mask=True), name='bet')
>>> quickshear = pe.Node(Quickshear(), name='quickshear')
>>> deface_wf.connect([
... (inputnode, bet, [('in_file', 'in_file')]),
... (inputnode, quickshear, [('in_file', 'in_file')]),
... (bet, quickshear, [('mask_file', 'mask_file')]),
... (quickshear, outputnode, [('out_file', 'out_file')]),
... ])
>>> inputnode.inputs.in_file = 'T1.nii'
>>> res = deface_wf.run() # doctest: +SKIP
