 [Home] [Back/Research]

 

 

CATNAP (Coregistration, Adjustment, and Tensor-solving – a Nicely Automated Program) is an end to end data processing pipeline for Philips PAR/REC Magnetic Resonance data files. CATNAP performs motion correction for both diffusion and structural images using FSL FLIRT, adjusts the diffusion gradient directions for scanner settings (i.e., slice angulation, slice orientation, etc.) and motion correction (i.e., the rotational component of the applied transformation), and computes tensor and derived quantities (FA, MD, colormaps, eigenvalues etc) . The results are readily compatible with DTIStudio, FSL, and other tensor analysis packages.
