DTI

For example, for sample 

20201125_163219_LH_327912_7__wt_male_1_1

the diffusion scan is #4, so go into this folder and open the "method" file


To ensure that you are looking at the right file. The 4th line from the top should read

##$Method=<Bruker:DtiStandard>


The diffusion direction vectors are in this section

##$PVM_DwGradVec=( 32, 3 )

Note that this is a train of 3 variables of x,y,z, so the GradVec above will need to be arranged as

0 0 0 

0 0 0 

0.160443466334042 0.0338821506150016 0.69286742786796

etc


Depending on the software you use you can use the DwEffBval above, or you may simplify this with a train of 0, 0, 5000, 5000 etc


If using mrtrix, the above will be gradient-bval set can be combined as:

0 0 0 0

0 0 0 0

0.160443466334042 0.0338821506150016 0.69286742786796 5000

etc


If using fsl format, then you will need to transpose the row x column in DwGradVec into to fsl bvecs format:

x1,x2,etc 

y1,x2

z1,y2


and bvals = the info in PVM_DwEffBval

b1,b2,b3 etc


You should only need to do this once, as the acquisition method is kept the same for all samples.

There are two options of dicom files in the processed folder 4/pdata:

4/pdata/1 is the dicom as acquired by the scanner

4/pdata/2 has a factor of 1.5 zerofill prior to fourier transform to enhance the digital resolution.

In most cases, pdata/1 is the one to use.
