  3. Topup: Susceptibility-induced Distortions, caused by difference of gradient field; most interfaces between air, bone, and soft tissues, Green: real brain

  4. Eddy Currents: generated by conductive material coils, shields, tubes, wires or devices within or on the patient

  5. tools Dcm2niix:convertDICOMstoNIFTfiles, advantages:1.NiFTsandbvec are compatible with FSL 2.b-vecwill be oriented with respect to the voxels FSL:pre-processing

  6. Diffusion data: • dti.nii(4Dnifts):dti_AP.nii,AnteriorPosterior phase-encoding directionacquisitions. dti_PA.nii,Posterior AnteriorPEacquisitions OrRLandLRacquisitions. • bval:short for b value,is a factor that reflects the strength and timing of the gradients used to generate diffusion-weighted images • bvec:short for b vectors,contains a 3x1 vector for each gradient,x,y,z, indicating the gradient direction. PS:ifnocompletePAacquisitions,additional PA phase-encoded b0imageatleast
