Hi,
I am exploring qboot and I have some very basic questions I would like to better understand, as a user with no great familiarity with the methods.
I would like to be able to know how much the peaks are represented, per each voxel - or to compare the relative strength of different fibre orientations.
I run qboot with reconstruction of CSA ODF, and with the option --savemeancoeff.
As expected I obtain, beside the dyads files corresponding to the peaks, a file called meanSHcoeff.nii.
From what I can see, this file is a 4D image made of 15 volumes.
My questions are:
-could anybody give me an easy explanation of the meaning of these coefficients? can I use them to estimate how much a peak is represented in the ODF per each voxel?
-what are exactly these 15 volumes referring to?
Thanks a million for your help,
Ettore
