MRtrix3 Tensor Metric Extraction

Library: MRtrix3 | Docker Image: mrtrix3/mrtrix3

Function

Extracts scalar metrics (FA, MD, AD, RD, eigenvalues, eigenvectors) from a fitted diffusion tensor image.

Modality: Diffusion tensor image (4D NIfTI from dwi2tensor).

Typical Use: Generating FA, MD, and other scalar diffusion maps from tensor.

Key Parameters

, -fa (output FA map), -adc (output MD map), -ad (output AD), -rd (output RD), -vector (output eigenvectors)

Key Points

Multiple outputs can be generated in a single run. FA range 0-1. Specify each desired output explicitly.

Inputs

Name Type Required Label Flag
input File Yes Input tensor image
fa string No Output FA map filename -fa

ad string No Output axial diffusivity map filename -ad
rd string No Output radial diffusivity map filename -rd
vector string No Output eigenvector map filename -vector
value string No Output eigenvalue map filename -value
mask File No Processing mask -mask
