Rationale

Raw data

• Should store everything that cannot be automatically replicated.

• This folder should be backed up extremely securely

• nifti data are usually generated manually one-at-a-time, for exampling using DICOM convert.

• All data additional to images are stored with nifti. Examples include slice timing, DTI directions and b-values, T2 echo times, ASL details (to be implemented as of 2020-12-01)

Project

• Should only store data that can be automatically replicated

• May be extremely large

• Less critical backup as can be replicated

• Should not include data that was manually generated (coregistration, slicetiming, etc.)
