NAME

mia-3dbrainextractT1 - Extract the brain from a 3D T1 MRI head image.

SYNOPSIS

mia-3dbrainextractT1 -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

mia-3dbrainextractT1 This program is used to extract the brain from T1 MR images. It first runs a combined fuzzy c-means clustering and B-field correction to facilitate a 3D segmentation of 3D image. Then various fiters are run to obtain a white matter segmentation as initial mask that is then used to run a region growing to obtain a mask of the whole brain. Finally, this mask is used to extact the brain from the B0 field corrected images.

OPTIONS

input image(s) to be segmented
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io
brain mask
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io
number of classes

index of white matter

white matter class probability for initial mask creation

intensity threshold for region growing

neighbourhood mask region growing

EXAMPLE

Create a mask from the input image by running a 5-class segmentation over inpt image input.v and use class 4 as white matter class and store the masked image in masked.v and the B0-field corrected image in b0.v

mia-3dbrainextractT1 -i input.v -n 5 -w 4 -o masked.v
