SYNOPSIS

interleaved_bad_slices ImagePaths

DESCRIPTION

This tool reads a time series of 3D images and detects outliers.

OPTIONS

Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)

--help

Write list of basic command line options to standard output.

--help-all

Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output.

--wiki

Write list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup.

--man

Write man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output.

--version

Write toolkit version to standard output.

--echo

Write the current command line to standard output.

--verbose-level <integer>

Set verbosity level.

--verbose, -v

Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for backward compatibility).

--threads <integer>

Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP).

Input Options

--slice-orientation

Define slice orientation of the diffusion images. Supported values: "axial", "sagittal", "coronal", "slice-x", "slice-y", "slice-z", where the default is "axial", or use one of the following:

--axial

Axial slices [This is the default]

--sagittal

Sagittal slices

--coronal

Coronal slices

--slice-x

X coordinate axis is slice direction

--slice-y

Y coordinate axis is slice direction

--slice-z

Z coordinate axis is slice direction [This is the default]

Bad Slice Detection

--metric

Image-to-image similarity metric to compare neighbouring slices. Supported values: "ncc", "rms", where the default is "ncc", or use one of the following:

--ncc

Normalized cross correlation. [This is the default]

--rms

Root of mean squared differences.

--stdev-thresh <double>

Threshold for bad slice identification in units of intensity standard deviations over all corresponding slices from the remaining diffusion images. [Default: 3]

Output Options

--bad-slices-thresh <none>

Minimum number of detected bad slices before reporting a volume (only number of detected bad slices is reported in this case, rather than each slice separately). [Default: 0]
