qsiprep

tit.pre.qsi.qsiprep

QSIPrep runner for TI-Toolbox.

This module provides functions to run QSIPrep as a sibling Docker container using the Docker-out-of-Docker (DooD) pattern.

run_qsiprep

run_qsiprep(project_dir: str, subject_id: str, *, logger: Logger, output_resolution: float = QSI_DEFAULT_OUTPUT_RESOLUTION, cpus: int | None = None, memory_gb: int | None = None, omp_threads: int = QSI_DEFAULT_OMP_THREADS, image_tag: str = QSI_QSIPREP_IMAGE_TAG, skip_bids_validation: bool = True, denoise_method: str = 'dwidenoise', unringing_method: str = 'mrdegibbs', runner: CommandRunner | None = None) -> None

Run QSIPrep preprocessing for a subject's DWI data.

This function spawns a QSIPrep Docker container as a sibling to the current SimNIBS container using Docker-out-of-Docker (DooD).

Parameters

project_dir : str Path to the BIDS project root directory. subject_id : str Subject identifier (without 'sub-' prefix). logger : logging.Logger Logger for status messages. output_resolution : float, optional Target output resolution in mm. Default: 2.0. cpus : int, optional Number of CPUs to allocate. Default: 8. memory_gb : int, optional Memory limit in GB. Default: 32. omp_threads : int, optional Number of OpenMP threads. Default: 1. image_tag : str, optional QSIPrep Docker image tag. Default from constants.QSI_QSIPREP_IMAGE_TAG. skip_bids_validation : bool, optional Skip BIDS validation. Default: True. denoise_method : str, optional Denoising method. Default: 'dwidenoise'. unringing_method : str, optional Unringing method. Default: 'mrdegibbs'. runner : CommandRunner | None, optional Command runner for subprocess execution.

Raises

PreprocessError If QSIPrep fails or prerequisites are not met.
