Extension Description

DTIProcess is a DTI processing and analysis toolkit developed in UNC and University of Utah. Tools in this toolkit include:

• dtiestim: tool that takes in a set of DWIs in nrrd format and estimates a tensor field out of it. It also has many useful options.
• dtiprocess: tool that handles tensor fields
• dtiaverage: program that allows to compute the average of an arbitrary number of tensor fields
• fibertrack: program that implements a simple streamline tractography method based on the principal eigenvector of the tensor field
• fiberprocess: tool that manage fiber files extracted from the fibertrack tool or any fiber tracking algorithm
• A couple other tools that are included in the package and that are not CLI compatible

Modules

• Plastimatch Automatic deformable image registration
• Plastimatch DICOM-RT import
• Plastimatch DICOM-RT export
• Plastimatch Dose Comparison
• Plastimatch Dose Volume Histogram
• Plastimatch LANDWARP Landmark
• Plastimatch Synthetic Image Generation
• Plastimatch Threshold in a box
• Plastimatch XFORMWARP
