minc_qc_rgb.pl

generate RGB quality control images from MINC volumes

minc_qc_rgb.pl <red.mnc> [green.mnc] [blue.mnc] <output.jpg> [options]

DESCRIPTION

minc_qc_rgb.pl generates RGB composite QC images by mapping up to three MINC volumes to the red, green, and blue channels of a colour image. This is useful for visualising multi-modal data (e.g. different contrasts or different time points) in a single composite image where spatial correspondence can be visually assessed.

If only one input volume is provided, it is mapped to all three channels (producing a grayscale image). Two volumes map to red and green channels. Three volumes map to red, green, and blue channels respectively.

OPTIONS

--verbose: Print progress information during processing.
--fake: Print the commands that would be executed without running them.
--clobber: Overwrite existing output files.
--title <text>: Add the specified title text to the output image.
--mask <mnc>: Apply the specified mask to restrict the displayed region.
--big: Generate a larger output image.
--image-range <min> <max>: Set the display range applied to all input channels.

EXAMPLES

Generate an RGB composite from T1, T2, and PD volumes:

minc_qc_rgb.pl t1.mnc t2.mnc pd.mnc composite.jpg

Generate a red-green overlay of two volumes:

minc_qc_rgb.pl pre.mnc post.mnc overlay.jpg

Generate a single-channel image with a title:

minc_qc_rgb.pl --title "Subject 001" --big \
    subject_t1.mnc qc.jpg
