FSL Fieldmap Preparation

Library: FSL | Docker Image: brainlife/fsl

Function

Prepares a fieldmap for use with FUGUE by converting phase difference images to radians per second.

Modality: Phase difference image and magnitude image from gradient echo fieldmap acquisition.

Typical Use: Converting raw fieldmap images to FUGUE-compatible format for EPI distortion correction.

Key Parameters

Key Points

Scanner type determines unwrapping method (SIEMENS most common). Delta TE is the echo time difference in milliseconds. Output is in rad/s for use with FUGUE.

Inputs

Name Type Required Label Flag
scanner string Yes Scanner type (e.g., SIEMENS)
phase_image File Yes Phase difference image
magnitude_image File Yes Brain-extracted magnitude image
output string Yes Output fieldmap filename
delta_TE double Yes Echo time difference in milliseconds
nocheck boolean No Suppress sanity checking of image size/range/dimensions --nocheck
