.. _dwi2response: dwi2response ============ Synopsis -------- Estimate response function(s) for spherical deconvolution Usage ----- :: dwi2response algorithm [ options ] ... - *algorithm*: Select the algorithm to be used to complete the script operation; additional details and options become available once an algorithm is nominated. Options are: dhollander, fa, manual, msmt_5tt, tax, tournier Description ----------- dwi2response offers different algorithms for performing various types of response function estimation. The name of the algorithm must appear as the first argument on the command-line after 'dwi2response'. The subsequent arguments and options depend on the particular algorithm being invoked. Each algorithm available has its own help page, including necessary references; e.g. to see the help page of the 'fa' algorithm, type 'dwi2response fa'. More information on response function estimation for spherical deconvolution can be found at the following link: https://mrtrix.readthedocs.io/en/3.0.4/constrained_spherical_deconvolution/response_function_estimation.html Note that if the -mask command-line option is not specified, the MRtrix3 command dwi2mask will automatically be called to derive an initial voxel exclusion mask.
