Simple xnat pipeline to convert DICOM scans to BIDS-compatible output (nii+json).
Prerequisities
Just make sure you have zip tool installed on your machine.
Installing
Import it like a regular pipeline:
- Place files from the repo in your in:
/your/path/to/pipeline/catalog/bids2
- Go to Administration->pipelines->add pipeline to repository,
- Enter same path as in the step above + XNAT2bids.xml,
- Add pipeline to your project,
- You are good to go!
Usage
Pipeline needs to run for each session individually.
It lets the user choose series that should be included in bids package or specify custom subject label. Leaving the last field empty sets the subject label sam as in XNAT. The sub-label_ses-session_run-run_mod are generated automatically from protocol name and other information stored in XNAT DB. Since task-labels aren't stored in DICOM headers by default, we encourage to check the data and fill this field properly.
After creating proper directory hierarchy it zips data and sends it to subject resources. If there were any scans that aren't recognized they will be placed in unassigned folder inside of the bids package.
