dkmri 0.0.3

Reproducible and efficient diffusion kurtosis imaging in Python.

dkmri.py

dkmri.py stands for diffusion kurtosis magnetic resonance imaging in Python. It is a Python package for estimating diffusion and kurtosis tensor elements from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance data. The estimation is performed using regularized non-linear optimization informed by fully-connected feed-forward neural networks that are trained to learn the mapping from data to kurtosis measures.

Installation

dkmri.py can be installed with pip:

pip install dkmri

Usage example

This software can be used from the command line or in a Python interpreter. The command line interface does not require any knowledge about Python, whereas the Python interface is aimed at people who are comfortable with basic Python programming.

Command line interface

dkmri.py can be used as follows:

dkmri.py <path-of-data-file> <path-of-b-values-file> <path-of-b-vectors-file> [optional arguments]

Execute the following to see a description of the arguments:

dkmri.py -h
