brainreg will create a number of output files. Many of these are for use with other software (e.g. brainreg-segment and cellfinder), but they may be useful for your own software.
{% hint style="info" %} N.B. This is not an exhaustive list, as brainreg has many options which may create additional files. {% endhint %}
boundaries.tiff
- A 3D tiff image of the atlas boundaries, transformed to the space of the raw data.brainreg_DATE_TIME.log
- A log file detailing the registration process. Useful for debugging and raising issues.brainreg.json
- A record of all the input parameters, used by other software, e.g. brainreg-segment.deformation_field_0.tiff
- A 3D tiff describing the deformation from raw data space to atlas space, in the first dimension (based on the supplied orientation and voxel sizes).deformation_field_1.tiff
- Deformation in the second dimension.deformation_field_2.tiff
- Deformation in the third dimension.downsampled.tiff
- The raw data, reoriented to the atlas orientation, and downsampled to the atlas resolution.downsampled_standard_IMAGE_NAME.tiff
- The raw data, transformed to the atlas (standard) space.registered_atlas.tiff
- The atlas annotations image, warped to the raw data space. N.B. This is the reoriented, downsampled space ofdownsampled.tiff.
registered_hemispheres.tiff
- Same asdownsampled_atlas.tiff
but for the image coding the hemispheres.volumes.csv
A CSV file outlining the volumes of each brain area, based on the atlas registration.
Some other files may also be created:
downsampled_IMAGE_NAME.tiff
- Similar todownsampled.tiff
but additional image channels, processed when using the-d
flag.niftyreg
This directory contains the intermediate files used by the niftyreg registration. Created when using the--debug
flag.registered_atlas_original_orientation.tiff
Same asregistered_atlas.tiff
, but without the reorientation to the atlas orientation. Created when using the--save-original-orientation
flag.
