mri_reface¶
Description¶
mri_reface replaces identifiable face information in MRI/PET/CT scans to help prevent potential re-identification via face recognition. Faces are replaced with an average face, rather than removed, to better resemble a natural image and reduce effects on downstream brain measurement software.
Environment Modules¶
Run module spider mri_reface to find out what environment modules are available for this application.
Environment Variables¶
- HPC_MRIREFACE_DIR - installation directory
- HPC_MRIREFACE_IMAGE - container image directory
Additional Usage Information¶
To use MRI_Reface, please run the following command:
run_mri_reface
MRI_Reface allows Nifti (.nii) or DICOM inputs. If the user provides a .nii file, mri_reface Docker will output a refaced .nii file and before/after face renders. If the user provides a DICOM directory as an input, in mri_reface Docker will convert the image into .nii, reface the .nii image, convert the .nii image back to DICOM (copying all unaffected tags from the original DICOM to the new DICOM) and tag the DICOM files as being de-faced. The output for DICOM input include the refaced .nii, before/after face renders, and the refaced DICOM files. The direct-DICOM workflow is NOT recommended for PET inputs, as it will not account for motion across frames.
For .nii inputs, the input path should be to the .nii file itself. For DICOM inputs, the input path should be to a directory, this directory should contain ONLY the DICOM files for the image (a single series).
