switching to mrTools from mrVista

[KevinAquino]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there were a set of scripts that take data processed in the vistaTools to mrTools? The key thing I would like to transport is the alignment parameters.. mrTools does this very nicely however its a little cryptic what mrVista is doing.

Thanks!

Not as of this moment - there are a few people here at Stanford who are interested in going back and forth between the tools, but so far I've only coded a way to keep the paths separate (mlrPath) so that you can switch between running both. As for alignment parameters - I don't know how mrVista is storing them - mrTools gets them from the Nifti header (sform field) - so if you can export a Nifti with the alignment set in the header then it could be read into mrTools...

Thanks Justin,

I'll have a look!

I prefer how mrTools handles them, the vistaTools creates an alignment matrix and saves it as a .mat file (in mrSESSION.mat), i prefer how mrTools does it.
