The Cupid Release
With PyDesigner, users are no longer confined to specific file types, operating systems, or complicated scripts just to extract DTI or DKI parameters – PyDesigner makes this easy, and you will love it! You may download PyDesigner from GitHub, where you’ll find documentation [WIP] and a communication channel to get in touch with the devs. This is the first official release of PyDesigner ready for public use.
Key Features:
• 100% Python-based scripts
• Minimized package dependencies for small package footprint
• Preprocessing designed to boost SNR
• Accurate and fast DTI and DKI metrics via cutting-edge algorithms
• One-shot preprocessing to parameter extraction
• Cross-platform compatibility between Windows, Mac and Linux using Docker
• Highly flexible and easy to use
• Easy install with pip
• Input file-format agnostic – works with .nii, .nii.gz, .mif and dicoms
• Quality control metrics to evaluate data integrity – SNR graphs and outlier voxels
• Uses the latest techniques from DTI/DKI literature
• Boosts TOPUP speed with --epiboost
flag for magnitudes faster EPI correction
