Voxel Selection Procedure — voxel

This function creates a binary mask for the voxel selection procedure for OASIS.

voxel_selection(flair, brain_mask, cutoff)

Arguments

flair	FLAIR volume of class `nifti`
brain_mask	brain mask of class `nifti`
cutoff	the percentile cutoff for the thresholding, passed to `quantile`

Value

Returns the voxel selection mask as an object of class nifti.

Examples

library(neurobase)
library(fslr)
library(oasis)
niis = tempfile(fileext = ".nii.gz")

   req <- httr::GET(url,
   httr::write_disk(path = niis))
   httr::stop_for_status(req)

 flair <- readnii(niis)
