Available Image Types

Executive Summary Images

The most common use case for BrainSwipes is executive summary images. These are common outputs of many processing pipelines. Explore the types of images commonly output by these in the tutorials. If you would like to include executive summary images on BrainSwipes for your dataset, you will need to process your data with a pipeline that generates these.

See XCPD or DCAN BOLD PROC

Reshaping Executive Summary Images

Some versions of the executive summary output registrations in a 1x9 grid.

Example image in the original 1x9 format

These are hard to see in BrainSwipes. We have in included a function that reshapes these images into a 3x3 grid as part of the ingest_brainswipes_data.py

Pre-Processed Images

Pre-Processed images can be created by running this BIDS app on your dataset. This will output 3x3 grids of unprocessed T1w or T2w images to help QC raw anatomical data.

QSI-Prep Images

QSI-Prep images can be created by running this BIDS app on your dataset. This will output .GIF files to help QC Diffusion Weighted Images.

Other images

BrainSwipes can be used with any simple image file (e.g. .PNG or .GIF files). If you have needs that are not met by any of the existing image types feel free to generate your own.
