Motion Estimation and Retrospective correction Leveraging Interleaved Navigators - MERLIN

Source Code | Documentation | Examples

MERLIN is a method for Motion Estimation Retrospective correction Leveraging Interleaved Navigators. This repository contains python code (in pymerlin) for performing motion correction on suitable MRI data. The example pipelines in pymerlin are specifically designed to be used with 3D radial, ZTE, acquisitions.

Installation

Install the python tools for pymerlin with pip by cloning this repository and running the following command in the main folder

pip install -e .

Dependencies

Besides the python dependencies listed in pymerlin/requirements.txt, MERLIN has the following dependencies:

• riesling 3D non-cartesian reconstruction toolbox.
• HD-BET for efficient brain extraction
• FSL for various processing

Usage
