SLice-Oriented MOtion COrrection released
Scripts for performing the SLOMOCO algorithm have been released
under the PESTICA project page. SLOMOCO is a Slice-oriented motion
correction that obtains the 6DOF motion for every slice
independently. This lets you see the motion for each slice. The
volumetric motion parameters are essentially an average of the
slice measures over each volume, and if the motion changes
direction during a volume or is fast within a volume, then the
volumetric motion will be wrong. The script inside the zipfile
generates a metric of the average voxel displacement using these
slicewise motion parameters, and this is more sensitive to motion
corruption than any volumetric measure. SLOMOCO will help you
characterize motion corruption more accurately. Give it a try and
let us know your experience.
