mne.bem.convert_flash_mris¶

mne.bem.convert_flash_mris(subject, flash30=True, convert=True, unwarp=False, subjects_dir=None, verbose=None)[source]¶

Convert DICOM files for use with make_flash_bem.

Parameters:

Parameters:	subject : str Subject name. flash30 : bool Use 30-degree flip angle data. convert : bool Assume that the Flash MRI images have already been converted to mgz files. unwarp : bool Run grad_unwarp with -unwarp option on each of the converted data sets. It requires FreeSurfer’s MATLAB toolbox to be properly installed. subjects_dir : string, or None Path to SUBJECTS_DIR if it is not set in the environment. verbose : bool, str, int, or None If not None, override default verbose level (see `mne.verbose()` and Logging documentation for more).

subject : str

Subject name.

flash30 : bool

Use 30-degree flip angle data.

convert : bool

Assume that the Flash MRI images have already been converted to mgz files.

unwarp : bool

Run grad_unwarp with -unwarp option on each of the converted data sets. It requires FreeSurfer’s MATLAB toolbox to be properly installed.

subjects_dir : string, or None

Path to SUBJECTS_DIR if it is not set in the environment.

verbose : bool, str, int, or None

If not None, override default verbose level (see mne.verbose() and Logging documentation for more).

Notes

Before running this script do the following: (unless convert=False is specified)

Copy all of your FLASH images in a single directory <source> and create a directory <dest> to hold the output of mne_organize_dicom

cd to <dest> and run $ mne_organize_dicom <source> to create an appropriate directory structure

Create symbolic links to make flash05 and flash30 point to the appropriate series: $ ln -s <FLASH 5 series dir> flash05 $ ln -s <FLASH 30 series dir> flash30 Some partition formats (e.g. FAT32) do not support symbolic links. In this case, copy the file to the appropriate series: $ cp <FLASH 5 series dir> flash05 $ cp <FLASH 30 series dir> flash30

cd to the directory where flash05 and flash30 links are

Set SUBJECTS_DIR and SUBJECT environment variables appropriately

Run this script

This function assumes that the Freesurfer segmentation of the subject has been completed. In particular, the T1.mgz and brain.mgz MRI volumes should be, as usual, in the subject’s mri directory.
