TBSS Non-FA Image Projection

Library: FSL | Docker Image: brainlife/fsl

Function

Projects non-FA diffusion images (MD, AD, RD, etc.) onto the mean FA skeleton using the same registration from the FA-based TBSS pipeline.

Modality: Non-FA diffusion scalar maps (3D NIfTI) in same space as FA images used for TBSS.

Typical Use: Analyzing MD, AD, RD, or other diffusion metrics on the FA-derived skeleton.

Key Parameters

(e.g., all_MD) - run after tbss_4_prestats with non-FA data in stats directory

Key Points

Must run full TBSS pipeline on FA first. Non-FA images must be in same native space as original FA. Creates all__skeletonised for use with randomise.

Inputs

Name Type Required Label Flag
measure string Yes Non-FA measure name (e.g., MD, AD, RD, L1, L2, L3)
fa_directory Directory Yes FA directory from TBSS pipeline (contains per-subject FA images and warps)
stats_directory Directory Yes stats directory (mean_FA_skeleton, skeleton_mask, all_FA, all_FA_skeletonised)
measure_directory Directory Yes Directory containing per-subject non-FA images (filenames must match FA subjects without _FA suffix)

Outputs

Name Type Glob Pattern
skeletonised_data File stats/all_$(inputs.measure)_skeletonised.nii.gz
log File tbss_non_FA.log
err_log File tbss_non_FA.err.log

Output Extensions

  • skeletonised_data: .nii.gz
