## Major changes from fMRIPrep ### easy stuff - Default template is Fisher344 - Default structural is T2w - No surface processing - ~~No ICA aroma~~ - CSF mask eroded by 1mm - segmentation (FAST) should not run any bias field correction - FSL commands (FAST/~~FLIRT~~) must have `--basescale 1` to prevent undesired upscaling - ANTS is used instead of FLIRT for coregistration - BOLD resampling should use native resolution, not template ### less easy stuff - brain extraction uses `nirodents` - in functional reference workflow (create one reference image per BOLD run) - structural workflow - `3dVolreg` used for moco, rather than `MCFLIRT` - no RMSD - `N4BiasFieldCorrection` - voxel sizes are (often) anisotropic - requires a bspline grid rather than single distance value - reduced shrink factors (4->1) minimise the chance of blurring over out-of-plane dimension - SDC: - if PE dir is IS/SI need to reorient to LSA explicitly before passing to topup - need to scale image header so minimum voxel size is 1mm (for compatibility with topup acqparams file) - -> outputs are then returned to original scale - No *a priori* field map (yet) - but this might not be needed ## Goals outstanding - Bump dependencies to match fmriprep - merge SDC workflow PR ([#55](https://github.com/nipreps/fmriprep-rodents/pull/55)) Is it worth trying to complete these, or should we just take "the spirit" of the commits and implement into fMRIPrep? ## Infant changes - Level of processing: - Session - Average - T2w reference anatomical - Tissue segmentation - Joint Label Fusion - Age parsing, template matching - Alternative surface reconstruction - MCRIBS - Infant FS - Multi-step normalization - Anatomical -> MNIInfant -> MNI152 -
