# Script for performing DWI pre-processing using FSL 5.0 tools eddy / topup / applytopup
# This script is generally one of the first operations that will be applied to diffusion image data. The precise details of how this image pre-processing takes place depends heavily on the DWI acquisition; specifically, the presence or absence of reversed phase-encoding data for the purposes of EPI susceptibility distortion correction.
# The script is capable of handling a wide range of DWI acquisitions with respect to the design of phase encoding directions. This is dependent upon information regarding the phase encoding being embedded within theimage headers. The relevant information should be captured by MRtrix when importing DICOM images; it should also be the case for BIDS-compatible datasets. If the user expects this information to be present within the image headers, the -rpe_header option must be specified.
# If however such information is not present in the image headers, then it is also possible for the user to manually specify the relevant information regarding phase encoding. This involves the following information:
# * The fundamental acquisition protocol design regarding phase encoding. There are three common acquisition designs that are supported:
# 1. All DWI volumes acquired using the same phase encode parameters, and no additional volumes acquired for the purpose of estimating the inhomogeneity field. In this case, eddy will only perform motion and eddy current distortion correction. This configuration is specified using the -rpe_none option.
# 2. All DWI volumes acquired using the same phase encode parameters; but for the purpose of estimating the inhomogeneity field (and subsequently correcting the resulting distortions in the DWIs), an additional pair (or multiple pairs) of image volumes are acquired, where the first volume(s) has the same phase encoding parameters as the input DWI series, and the second volume(s) has precisely the opposite phase encoding. This configuration is specified using the -rpe_pair option; and the user must additionally provide those images to be used for field estimation using the -se_epi option.
# 3. Every DWI gradient direction is acquired twice: once with one phase encoding configuration, and again using the opposite phase encode direction. The goal here is to combine each pair of images into a single DWI volume per gradient direction, where that recombination takes advantage of the information gained from having two volumes where the signal is distorted in opposite directions in the presence of field inhomogeneity.
# * The (primary) direction of phase encoding. In cases where opposing phase encoding is part of the acquisition protocol (i.e. the reversed phase-encode pair in case 2 above, and all of the DWIs in case 3 above), the -pe_dir option specifies the phase encode direction of the _first_ volume in the relevant volume pair; the second is assumed to be the exact opposite.
# * The total readout time of the EPI acquisition. This affects the magnitude of the image distortion for a given field inhomogeneity. If this information is not provided via the -readout_time option, then a 'sane' default of 0.1s will be assumed. Note that this is not actually expected to influence the estimation of the field; it will result in the field inhomogeneity estimation being scaled by some factor, but as long as it uses the same sane default for the DWIs, the distortion correction should operate as expected.

In some instances (motion between acquisitions) this can result in erroneous application of the inhomogeneity field during distortion correction. If this could potentially be a problem for your data, a possible solution is to insert the first b=0 DWI volume to be the first volume of the image file provided via the -se_epi option. This will hopefully be addressed within the script itself in a future update.')
