Hi
I recovered your post with the gdrive link (it was flagged as spam by the system).
I will download your data and have a look when I find some time, hopefully today

It would be great,
thank you,
Rosella
@Rosella_Tro the drive link is not there anymore. Could you please put it back? I removed the filter that spams posts with drive links in there.
sorry about the inconvenience
sorry for the delay in my answer but I have data in my office lab. I have tried to attach the google drive link but the post gets flagged by the community again. do you manage to recover that link from the spam?
thank you,
Rosella
Sorry it doesn’t seem to work— can you just email me the link?

@Rosella_Tro I did have a look at your data and came up with a dedicated workflow for this dataset, where part of the image should be ignored from the analysis. I’ve created a video tutorial which you can access here.
Below is the series of script that I’ve used for your data. As you can see, the sct_propseg line was replaced with sct_deepseg_sc, and includes manual initialization:
sct_dmri_separate_b0_and_dwi -i kurtosis.nii -bvec kurtosis_crop_moco.bvec
sct_deepseg_sc -i kurtosis_dwi_mean.nii -c dwi -centerline viewer
sct_create_mask -i kurtosis_dwi_mean.nii -p centerline,kurtosis_dwi_mean_seg.nii -size 30mm -o mask_kurtosis_dwi_mean.nii
sct_crop_image -i kurtosis.nii -m mask_kurtosis_dwi_mean.nii -o kurtosis_crop.nii
sct_dmri_moco -i kurtosis_crop.nii -bvec kurtosis_crop_moco.bvec -bval kurtosis_crop_moco.bval -x spline
sct_deepseg_sc -i kurtosis_crop_moco_dwi_mean.nii -c dwi
Hope that helps.
Best,
Julien

I expected I should use a manual initialization and I will try to fix the viewer function on my computer as probably some library is not installed. Anyway, thank you very much for the help. If you wish, I will update you with my results .
Thank you,
Rosella

I am currently searching how to solve it.

hum… this might be a memory issue (might be related to this).
could you please run the following commands and copy/paste the output:

Thanks, when you run the following command, do you see a window popping up?
sct_label_utils -i kurtosis_dwi_mean.nii -create-viewer 1
If not, could you copy/paste then entire terminal output (including the syntax)?
Are you running SCT remotely by connecting via ssh to a server?

OK, I will need to do some investigations by trying to reproduce your OS setup. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Do not worry, is there some information I can provide in order to help?
thank you,
Rosella
Hi,
Waiting for resolving the problem with the viewer I found a temporary solution which consists in using deepseg with a centerline file provided by the user and created in fsl. This way I manage to segment the image, to crop it and compute subsequent DTI and DKI metrics. Segmentation is not optimal since it depends on the mask I created manually, and DTI and DKI maps have some white or black voxels which I will have to remove somehow, but this is probably due to noise.
The next issue is to provide a gray and white matter segmentation from b0 images. I have tried with deepseg_gm but results are poor. Is there a way to compute automatic segmentation from b0 images, even if the contrast between grey and white matter is poor?
thank you ,
Rosella
ps. Please find attached the script I used and a link with all output images.script_soggetti_spinale.sh (8.9 KB)

Hi,
I strongly advise against running sct_deepseg_gm on your b=0 DWI data. Even with the naked eye, we don’t see the GM. It would produce spurious results that you should not trust.
Instead, I suggest you to rely on the average GM mask (part of the PAM50 template), which can be warped after you run sct_register_to_template.
Thank you very much,
In the meantime I continue trying to solve the problem with the viewer.
Best regards,
Rosella
How can I resolve the problem of spurious (black and white) voxels inside my DKI or DTI maps?
Is this a problem of noise related to the quality of my images? is there anything I can do?
Here is a link to the maps:

Hi,
If you are talking about the white/black pixels that you see in this red circle below, then please note that these pixel are not located in the spinal cord (probably in muscles/bone, hence diffusion signal is small, isotropic, and hence noisy). The spinal cord is located where the green cross is.
