dti (version 1.2-0.1)

dwi-class: Class "dwi"

Description

The family of "dwi" classes is used for Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) data and, within the Diffusion Tensor Model (DTI), diffusion tenors and its indices.

Objects from the Class

"dwi" is only a superclass, no instances should be created. However, objects can be created by calls of the form new("dwi", ...). "dtiData", "dtiTensor", and "dtiIndices" can be created from their correspondingly named functions and methods.
