Multi-Scale Brain Parcellator¶
This pipeline is developed by the Hagmann’s group at the University Hospital of Lausanne (CHUV) for use within the SNF Sinergia Project 170873, as well as for open-source software distribution.
About¶
Multi-Scale Brain Parcellator
, part of the Connectome Mapping Toolkit (CMTK), is a BIDS App that implements a full anatomical MRI processing pipeline, from raw T1w data to structural brain parcellation at five different scales.
The Multi-Scale Brain Parcellator
pipelines uses a combination of tools from well-known software packages, including FSL_, FreeSurfer_, ANTs_ as well as in-house tools from CMTK.
This tool allows you to easily do the following:
- Take T1 from raw to brain parcellations at 5 different scales.
- Implement tools from different software packages.
- Automate and parallelize processing steps, which provides a significant speed-up from typical linear, manual processing.
Reproducibility and replicatibility is achieved through the distribution of a BIDSApp, a software container image which provide a frozen environment where versions of all external softwares and libraries are fixed.
