[MINC-users] Variations on normalization of minc volumes in minc-toolkit

[Gabriel A. Devenyi]

Hi All,

I’m working on streamlining a
​parallel grid-aware ​
preprocessing pipeline using bpipe (see https://code.google.com/p/bpipe/
and https://github.com/CobraLab/bpipe-library) and I’ve come across these
normalization tools within minc-toolkit:

minc_nuyl - documented at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10784285
volume_pol - no documentation?
inormalize - no documentation?
normalize_mri - wrapper for inormalize

Is there any documentation out there regarding these tools (what they do,
and how they do it).

Additionally, are there any details on the requirements to apply these
tools?

For example, the source header in inormalize.cc I think indicates that the
volumes must be registered, is that correct?


Can anyone provide any insights on these tools? Thanks!​
