✨ MRTRIX(1) — User Commands 💖

🦋 NAME

okay bestie, so MRtrix3 is all about diffusion-weighted MRI white matter tractography 🧠✨ (it's giving brain map energy, no cap 💅)

🌸 DESCRIPTION

okay so MRtrix is literally a whole set of tools 🧰 for doing diffusion-weighted MRI white matter tractography of the brain 🧠, and it's super iconic because it handles crossing fibres 🔀 using Constrained Spherical Deconvolution 🌈, plus a probabilistic streamlines algorithm 💜. (the original page spells it "probabilisitic", which is a typo, so I'm just flagging it fr fr 🙈)

the images it can read are DICOM, ANALYZE, or uncompressed NIfTI format 📸 ngl that's a solid lineup 💅

🎀 DEBIAN

bestie listen 👂 all the MRtrix programs live in /usr/lib/mrtrix/bin 📂 so you either have to call them with their full path, or add that directory to your search path 🛣️ the MRtrix docs have steps for doing that in a bunch of popular environments ✨

⚠️ it is not necessary to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH 🙅‍♀️ even though the MRtrix manual says to, so don't stress about it 😭
