FACE anatomical feature extraction pipeline

pipeline_face.pl <t1_tal> <mask_tal> <cls_tal> <labels_tal> <xfm_tal> <nlxfm_tal> <output>

DESCRIPTION

pipeline_face.pl extracts anatomical features using the FACE (Feature Anatomical Classification and Extraction) method. It takes a T1-weighted volume in Talairach space along with a brain mask, tissue classification, lobe labels, and both linear and nonlinear transforms, and produces a set of anatomical feature measurements.

The output contains quantitative measurements of various brain structures derived from the combination of classification, segmentation, and registration results.

OPTIONS

--verbose
Print progress information during processing.
--clobber
Overwrite output files if they already exist.

EXAMPLES

Extract FACE features from a fully processed subject:

pipeline_face.pl t1_tal.mnc mask_tal.mnc cls_tal.mnc \
  labels_tal.mnc tal.xfm nl.xfm face_output

Run with verbose output:

pipeline_face.pl t1_tal.mnc mask_tal.mnc cls_tal.mnc \
  labels_tal.mnc tal.xfm nl.xfm face_output --verbose
