NAME

dtshape - Computes DT shape statistics.

 

SYNOPSIS

dtshape -inputfile <eig> -stat <statistic>

 

DESCRIPTION

Computes tensor shape statistics based on the eigenvalues l1 >= l2 >= l3. The full list of statistics is


  <cl> = (l1 - l2) / l1 , a measure of linearity,
   
  <cp> = (l2 - l3) / l1 , a measure of planarity,
  
  <cs> = l3 / l1 , a measure of isotropy.

Note that


   cl + cp + cs = 1 .


  <l1> = first eigenvalue


  <l2> = second eigenvalue


  <l3> = third eigenvalue


  <tr> = l1 + l2 + l3


  <md> = tr / 3


  <rd> = (l2 + l3) / 2


  <fa> = fractional anisotropy. (Basser et al, J Magn Reson B 1996) 


  <ra> = relative anisotropy (Basser et al, J Magn Reson B 1996)


  <2dfa> = 2D FA of the two minor eigenvalues l2 and l3  
                sqrt(2 * [ (l2 - <l>)^2 + (l3 - <l>)^2 ] / (l2^2 + l3^2) )
               
                <l> = (l2 + l3) / 2

The input to the program is the output of dteig.

 

EXAMPLES

Compute the linear statistic for a data set


  dteig < A.inv1.Bdouble | dtshape -stat cl -outputdatatype float > A.inv1.cl.Bfloat

Compute RA for a data set, output as NIFTI:


  cat dt_eig_sys.Bdouble | dtshape -stat ra -header data.nii.gz -outputfile ra.nii.gz

Compute the planar statistic cp for a data set with two tensors in each voxel


  dteig -inputmodel multitensor -maxcomponents 2 < A.inv31.Bdouble | dtshape -stat cp > A.inv31.cp.Bdouble

 

OPTIONS
