I have some questions concerning denoising procedure in DTIPrep. Denoise is one of good practice. However, I found there is no difference of the excluded gradients between with and without denoising procedure. 
1. I noticed there is *_DenoiseInput.nrrd file created. I wonder whether and how this denoised file is linked to the DTIPrep output.
2. Is Rician noise removal the same as smoothing in DTIPrep?

the denoising in DTIPrep is achieved via the Slicer modules for DWI denoising (these are no longer included in the newer versions of Slicer, not sure why).

Both are based on Rician noise
