The function dtiData creates an object of class "dtiData" from an image file, where the diffusion weighted data is given as 2-byte integer. This image file has to be prepared by the user. Use writeBin to write out first all S0 images and than all Si images. The gradient should be created according to this order. Run the demo in order to have an example, how to do this!
The function readDWIdata reads the data files given in the directories in dirlist in alphabetic order. The order can be changed using the order argument: If filelist is the vector of files in alphabetic order, they are read in the order filelist[order]. If order is not given order <- 1:n is used (no change!). The medical imaging format is given by format and can be one of ''DICOM'', ''NIFTI'', ''ANALYZE'', or ''AFNI''. The number of slices of the three dimensional data cube is given by nslice. The diffusion gradients are provided as matrix gradient.
xind, yind, and zind define a region of interest as indices. If not given 1:dim[i] is used. level determine mins0value as quantile of positive S0-values. mins0value sets voxel in S0-images with values less than level “inactive”. maxvalue sets voxel with values larger than maxvalue inactive.
voxelext defines the voxel extension, overwrites the values found in the imaging files. orientation codes the data orientation in AFNI notation.
