we captured some dti data. there were 2 runs. we acquired in the axial plane, 2mm slice thickness the first run captured the lower half of the brain, slice locations: I56-S20, and the second run captured the upper half of the brain S16-S92. i have made briks from each of these runs. I can convert the briks to nifti files I want to merge the nifti files together to analyze the data in tracula
In the past i have merged data from two dti runs, but each run have covered the entire brain, with the following commands
mri_convert MJ0001dti1+orig.BRIK MJ0001dti1.nii.gz mri_convert MJ0001dti2+orig.BRIK MJ0001dti2.nii.gz mri_concat --i MJ0001dti1.nii.gz MJ0001dti2.nii.gz --o MJ0001dti12.nii.gz
would it work to concat the two half brain niftis into one file and analyze that with tracula? (I will concat the bvec and bvals files too) would this cause problems doing it this way? Thanks Jon
