title: DWI Joint Rician LMMSE Filter

category: Diffusion.Diffusion Weighted Images

description: This module reduces Rician noise (or unwanted detail) on a set of diffusion weighted images. For this, it filters the image in the mean squared error sense using a Rician noise model. The N closest gradient directions to the direction being processed are filtered together to improve the results: the noise-free signal is seen as an n-diemensional vector which has to be estimated with the LMMSE method from a set of corrupted measurements. To that end, the covariance matrix of the noise-free vector and the cross covariance between this signal and the noise have to be estimated, which is done taking into account the image formation process.
The noise parameter is automatically estimated from a rough segmentation of the background of the image. In this area the signal is simply 0, so that Rician statistics reduce to Rayleigh and the noise power can be easily estimated from the mode of the histogram.
A complete description of the algorithm may be found in:

title: DWI Rician LMMSE Filter

category: Diffusion.Diffusion Weighted Images

description: This module reduces noise (or unwanted detail) on a set of diffusion weighted images. For this, it filters the image in the mean squared error sense using a Rician noise model. Images corresponding to each gradient direction, including baseline, are processed individually. The noise parameter is automatically estimated (noise estimation improved but slower).
Note that this is a general purpose filter for MRi images. The module jointLMMSE has been specifically designed for DWI volumes and shows a better performance, so its use is recommended instead.

title: DWI to DTI Estimation

category: Diffusion.Diffusion Weighted Images

description: Performs a tensor model estimation from diffusion weighted images.

There are three estimation methods available: least squares, weigthed least squares and non-linear estimation. The first method is the traditional method for tensor estimation and the fastest one. Weighted least squares takes into account the noise characteristics of the MRI images to weight the DWI samples used in the estimation based on its intensity magnitude. The last method is the more complex.

Wraps command **ResampleDTIVolume **

title: Resample DTI Volume

category: Diffusion.Diffusion Tensor Images

description: Resampling an image is a very important task in image analysis. It is especially important in the frame of image registration. This module implements DT image resampling through the use of itk Transforms. The resampling is controlled by the Output Spacing. "Resampling" is performed in space coordinates, not pixel/grid coordinates. It is quite important to ensure that image spacing is properly set on the images involved. The interpolator is required since the mapping from one space to the other will often require evaluation of the intensity of the image at non-grid positions.
