nipype.interfaces.fsl.possum module

The possum module provides classes for interfacing with POSSUM command line tools. Please, check out the link for pertinent citations using POSSUM.

Note

This was written to work with FSL version 5.0.6.

B0Calc

Link to code

Bases: FSLCommand

Wrapped executable: b0calc.

B0 inhomogeneities occur at interfaces of materials with different magnetic susceptibilities, such as tissue-air interfaces. These differences lead to distortion in the local magnetic field, as Maxwell’s equations need to be satisfied. An example of B0 inhomogneity is the first volume of the 4D volume `$FSLDIR/data/possum/b0_ppm.nii.gz`.

Examples

>>> from nipype.interfaces.fsl import B0Calc
>>> b0calc = B0Calc()
>>> b0calc.inputs.in_file = 'tissue+air_map.nii'
>>> b0calc.inputs.z_b0 = 3.0
>>> b0calc.inputs.output_type = "NIFTI_GZ"
>>> b0calc.cmdline
'b0calc -i tissue+air_map.nii -o tissue+air_map_b0field.nii.gz --chi0=4.000000e-07 -d -9.450000e-06 --extendboundary=1.00 --b0x=0.00 --gx=0.0000 --b0y=0.00 --gy=0.0000 --b0=3.00 --gz=0.0000'
in_file : a pathlike object or string representing an existing file
Filename of input image (usually a tissue/air segmentation). Maps to a command-line argument: -i %s (position: 0).
args : a unicode string
Additional parameters to the command. Maps to a command-line argument: %s.
chi_air : a float
Susceptibility of air. Maps to a command-line argument: --chi0=%e. (Nipype default value: 4e-07)
compute_xyz : a boolean
Calculate and save all 3 field components (i.e. x,y,z). Maps to a command-line argument: --xyz. (Nipype default value: False)
delta : a float
Delta value (chi_tissue - chi_air). Maps to a command-line argument: -d %e. (Nipype default value: -9.45e-06)
directconv : a boolean
Use direct (image space) convolution, not FFT. Maps to a command-line argument: --directconv. (Nipype default value: False)
environ : a dictionary with keys which are a bytes or None or a value of class ‘str’ and with values which are a bytes or None or a value of class ‘str’
Environment variables. (Nipype default value: {})
extendboundary : a float
