Automated characterization of noise distributions in diffusion MRI data

The example and documentation

The latest version can be installed with

pip install autodmri

You can find a quick example and datasets over here and the full documentation at http://autodmri.rtfd.io/.

An example, super basic call to the script would be

autodmri_get_distribution dwi.nii.gz sigma.nii.gz N.nii.gz mask.nii.gz

Be sure to check the options by passing --help to the script.

The manuscript and references

You can read the journal version in Medical Image Analysis and the datasets are available here https://zenodo.org/record/2483105.

The conference version of the manuscript (as published in MICCAI 2018) is available here for free and from the publisher.
