MRI Data Acquisition
From Brain Development & Education Lab Wiki
After MRI data has been acquired at the DISC MRI center it should be saved as PAR/REC files. For each subject, the data should be placed in:
/mnt/diskArray/projects/MRI/study_sID_initials/YearMonthDay/raw
For example:
/mnt/diskArray/projects/MRI/NLR_001_JY/20150926/raw
When a subject has multiple scan sessions, they will go in separate folders within the subject's main folder, each with the date of the scan, so that we can determine the order of the scans. All the raw data should be within the raw folder so that the outputs of different processing stages can be saved in separate named folders. For example:
/mnt/diskArray/projects/MRI/NLR_001_JY/20150926/dti96trilinrt /mnt/diskArray/projects/MRI/NLR_001_JY/20150926/mrtrix
Next we run the Anatomy Pipeline and Diffusion Pipeline to preprocess this data that will be used for many purposes.
