Merge Two NIfTI or ANALYZE Volumes

Source: R/blend.R

Two volumes of medical imaging data are merged together in the superior-inferior (or $z$) direction. One assumes that there is at least one slice that overlaps between the two volumes.

blendVolumes(x, y, seqX, seqY, method = "linear")

# S4 method for nifti,nifti
blend(x, y, seqX, seqY, method = "linear")

# S4 method for anlz,anlz
blend(x, y, seqX, seqY, method = "linear")

# S4 method for anlz,nifti
blend(x, y, seqX, seqY, method = "linear")

# S4 method for nifti,anlz
blend(x, y, seqX, seqY, method = "linear")

Arguments

x, y

are objects of class nifti or anlz.
seqX, seqY

are vectors that provide the $z$-coordinate values for the two imaging volumes.
method

is the type of weighing to use when combining information where there is an overlap (default = "linear").

Value

A single volume that blends the voxel-wise information from x and y.

Methods

x = "nifti", y = "nifti"

Merge x and y.

x = "anlz", y = "anlz"

Merge x on y.

x = "nifti", y = "anlz"

Merge x on y.

x = "anlz", y = "nifti"

Merge x and y.
