Error while running GradQC

nabin · October 1, 2019, 9:11pm

Dear Slicer team,

I am trying to run the module GradQC to check the quality of my diffusion data and it’s supposed to be a simple process which should work by giving input as my dwi.nii.gz file and run it but it throws an error as follow. Your support will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi @nabin,

Our tool is NRRD only. As you might already know, Slicer can load only NRRD 4D image, not NIFTI 4D image.

For future reference, here is the Tutorial for GradQC:

However, you can use my NIFTI–>NRRD conversion tool, obtain an NHDR for the NIFTI image you are trying to GradQC and then load the NHDR header seamlessly to perform GradQC on it.

github.com

pnlbwh/conversion/blob/master/conversion/nhdr_write.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import numpy as np
import argparse
import os, warnings, sys
# with warnings.catch_warnings():
#     warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=FutureWarning)
import nibabel as nib

PRECISION= 17
np.set_printoptions(precision= PRECISION, suppress= True, floatmode= 'maxprec')

from conversion.bval_bvec_io import read_bvecs, read_bvals, bvec_scaling

def matrix_string(A):
    # A= np.array(A)
    
    A= str(A.tolist())
    A= A.replace(', ',',')
    A= A.replace('],[',') (')

Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks a lot Tashrif. I will try with this converting it to nrrd format.

Best,

Nabin
