pipeline_qc_t2t1.pl

generate QC image for T1/T2 co-registration overlay

pipeline_qc_t2t1.pl <t1> <t2> <candID> <visit> <age> <output.jpg>

DESCRIPTION

pipeline_qc_t2t1.pl generates a quality control image showing the co-registration between T1-weighted and T2-weighted volumes. The two modalities are overlaid using a colour scheme that makes misalignment clearly visible, allowing rapid visual assessment of registration quality.

The output image is annotated with candidate ID, visit label, and age for identification during batch QC review. Good co-registration will show anatomical structures in proper alignment across both modalities, while poor registration will show colour fringing at tissue boundaries.

OPTIONS

--verbose
Print progress information during processing.
--fake
Generate a placeholder QC image without performing actual rendering.
--clobber
Overwrite the output file if it already exists.

EXAMPLES

Generate a T1/T2 co-registration QC image:

pipeline_qc_t2t1.pl t1_tal.mnc t2_tal.mnc CAND001 V1 25 qc_t2t1.jpg

Generate with verbose output:

pipeline_qc_t2t1.pl t1_tal.mnc t2_tal.mnc CAND001 V1 25 qc_t2t1.jpg \
  --verbose

Generate a placeholder image:

pipeline_qc_t2t1.pl t1_tal.mnc t2_tal.mnc CAND001 V1 25 qc_t2t1.jpg \
  --fake
