Using a standalone Nifti I/O in C++

In this blog post, I describe how you can build your own standalone C++ program to analyze nii data without any dependencies beyond C++.  Hence, it will work without the  libraries from other fMRI software packages, e.g. odin, afni. The only tricky part is to use a stand alone nii I/O to write your own C++ evaluation programs. Here, I do it by incorporating the few files that i borrowed from the afni source code.

Getting layers in EPI space

Overview

Big steps:

  1. Manual aligment of MP2RAGE with EPI (optional when MP2RAGE is acquired in same session)
  2. ANTS alignment of MP2RAGE and EPI. (part of anatomical_maser.sh, see github)
  3. Running Freesurfer on MP2RAGE data in EPI space. (part of anatomical_maser.sh, see github)
  4. Using SUMA to get fine samples tissue borders in EPI-voxel space (in oblique space) (part of anatomical_maser.sh, see github)
  5. Manual correction of Freesurfer GM-ribbon
  6. calculating layers from GM-ribbon in neuroDebian.

Motion and BOLD correction in SS-SI-VASO

Intro

This is a description on how to use SPM and/or AFNI for high-resolution SS-SI-VASO data evaluations.

Here it is explained what to do with the raw fMTR data from the scanner to obtain CBV and BOLD signal time courses .
