[Neuroimaging] nipy for doing volume realignment & smoothing in real time

[Michiel Cottaar]

Hi,

There are many registration tools wrapped in nipype you could choose from to register a 3D volume to a reference. Within FSL you could use fsl.FLIRT(in_file='latest_scan.nii', ref='reference.nii) .

Best wishes,

Michiel

Hi,
we are planning a real time fMRi experiment and would like to use nipy to do some preprocessing namely volume realignment of each incoming TR + some smoothing

however by looking at the documentation. E.g:
>>> from nipype.interfaces import fsl>
>> from nipype.testing import example_data
>>> mcflt = fsl.MCFLIRT(in_file=example_data('functional.nii'), cost='mutualinfo')
>>> res = mcflt.run()

it would seem that it would only work for  a collection of scans (i.e.the 4D file) of a run.

Would there be a way to use nipy tools to have a reference image and then each scan that is analysed in realtime to be realigned relative to that reference?

thanks for any feedback/suggestions!

best,
David
