## S4 method for signature 'Carto3D'
selectCoords(object, coords=c("i","j","k"), num = NULL, format = "data.frame")

## S4 method for signature 'MRIaggr'
selectCoords(object, coords = c("i","j","k"), spatial_res = c(1,1,1),
         num = NULL, hemisphere = "both", subset = NULL, 
		 slice_var = "k", format = "data.frame")

Arguments

object

an object of class Carto3D or MRIaggr. REQUIRED.

coords

the coordinates that sould be extracted. Any of "i" "j" "k" or "index".

spatial_res

a dilatation factor for the coordinates. positive numeric vector of size 3.

num

the slices to extract. numeric vector or NULL.

hemisphere

the hemisphere to extract. character.

subset

the subset of observations to extract. positive integer vector or NULL leading to use all observations

slice_var

the type of slice to extract. "i" for sagittal, "j" for coronal and "k" for transverse. character.

format

the format of the output. Can be "vector", "matrix" or "data.frame".

Details

ARGUMENTS:
Information about the num argument can be found in the details section of initNum.

Information about the hemisphere argument can be found in the details section of selectContrast.

FUNCTION:
Each of the num, hemisphere and subset argument define a subset of the total set of observations. It is the intersection of all these three subsets that is extracted.

Value

A "vector", matrix or a data.frame. In the latter two cases, each row corresponds to a voxel and each column to a coordinate.

See Also

calcHemisphere to identify the hemispheres.
allocHemisphere<- and allocContrast<- to allocate hemispheres obtained from an external source.

#### 1- Carto3D method ####
## load nifti files and convert them to Carto3D
path.Pat1 <- system.file("nifti", package = "MRIaggr")
nifti.Pat1_TTP_t0 <- readMRI(file.path(path.Pat1, "TTP_t0"), format = "nifti")
Carto3D.Pat1_TTP_t0 <- constCarto3D(nifti.Pat1_TTP_t0, identifier = "Pat1", param = "TTP_t0")

## selection all coordinates
coords1 <- selectCoords(Carto3D.Pat1_TTP_t0)
dim(coords1)

## selection coordinates i and j from slices 1 to 3
coords2 <- selectCoords(Carto3D.Pat1_TTP_t0, num = 1:3, coords = c("i","j"))
dim(coords2)

#### 2- MRIaggr method ####
## load a MRIaggr object
data("MRIaggr.Pat1_red", package="MRIaggr")

## select all coordinates for all observations
coords <- selectCoords(MRIaggr.Pat1_red)
dim(coords)
head(coords)

## select coordinate i for slices 1 and 3
coords <- selectCoords(MRIaggr.Pat1_red, coords = "i", num = c(1,3))
dim(coords)
head(coords)

## select coordinate i for observations in the hemishere containing the lesion
coords <- selectCoords(MRIaggr.Pat1_red, hemisphere = "lesion", num = c(1,3))
dim(coords)
head(coords)

## select coordinate i for observations in the right hemisphere
coords <- selectCoords(MRIaggr.Pat1_red, hemisphere = "right", num = c(1,3))
dim(coords)
head(coords)

## select all coordinates and rescale them
coords <- selectCoords(MRIaggr.Pat1_red, spatial_res = c(1.875,1.875,6))
dim(coords)
head(coords)

## select coordinate i and j and return a matrix
coords <- selectCoords(MRIaggr.Pat1_red, format = "matrix")
is(coords)
head(coords)
