Module Description

This program collects together three common image processing tasks that all involve resampling an image volume: Resampling to a new resolution and spacing, applying a transformation (using an ITK transform IO mechanisms) and Warping (using a vector image deformation field).

Use Cases

Most frequently used for these scenarios:

1. Change an image's resolution and spacing.
2. Apply a transformation to an image (using an ITK transform IO mechanisms)
3. Warping an image (using a vector image deformation field).

Panels and their use

Parameters:

• Inputs: Parameters for specifying the image to warp and resulting image space
  • Image To Warp: Image To Warp
  • Reference Image: Reference image used only to define the output space. If not specified, the warping is done in the same space as the image to warp.
• Outputs: Resulting deformed image parameters
  • Output Image: Resulting deformed image
  • Pixel Type: Specifies the pixel type for the input/output images. If the type is "input", then infer from the input image. The "binary" pixel type uses a modified algorithm whereby the image is read in as unsigned char, a signed distance map is created, signed distance map is resampled, and then a thresholded image of type unsigned char is written to disk.
• Warping Parameters: Parameters used to define home the image is warped
  • Displacement Field (deprecated): Displacement Field to be used to warp the image (ITKv3 or earlier)
  • Transform file: Filename for the BRAINSFit transform (ITKv3 or earlier) or composite transform file (ITKv4)
  • Interpolation Mode: Type of interpolation to be used when applying transform to moving volume. Options are Linear, ResampleInPlace, NearestNeighbor, BSpline, or WindowedSinc
  • Compute inverse transform of given transformation?: True/False is to compute inverse of given transformation. Default is false
  • Default Value: Default voxel value
• Advanced Options:
  • Add Grids: Add warped grid to output image to help show the deformation that occured with specified spacing. A spacing of 0 in a dimension indicates that grid lines should be rendered to fall exactly (i.e. do not allow displacements off that plane). This is useful for makeing a 2D image of grid lines from the 3D space
• Multiprocessing Control:
  • Number Of Threads: Explicitly specify the maximum number of threads to use.
