t1_pn3_rf0_slice_0092.Rd: Example of a pre-processed MRI slice from the BrainWeb database

Description

The file t1_pn3_rf0_slice_0092.nii.gz is a pre-processed image of slice 92 with 3% noise extracted from the Brainweb database file t1_icbm_normal_1mm_pn3_rf0\[1\].mnc.gz. BrainWeb simulations are based on an anatomical model of normal brain, which can serve as the ground truth for any analysis procedure. BrainWeb datasets and are provided by the McConnell Brain Imaging Center at the Montreal Neurological Institute, http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/, (see Collins et. al. 1998).

Arguments

Format

The file t1_pn3_rf0_slice_0092.ni.gz is in gzipped NIFTI format. The R-package oro.nifti is required to read gzipped NIFTI files.
