FSL SUSAN noise reduction

Description

Implements Smallest Univalue Segment Assimilating Nucleus (SUSAN) noise reduction technique from FSL

Usage

susan(
  file,
  outfile = NULL,
  retimg = TRUE,
  reorient = FALSE,
  intern = FALSE,
  bthresh = 0.1,
  sigma = 3,
  dimg = c(3, 2),
  use_median = FALSE,
  n_usans = c(0, 1, 2),
  extra.scans = list(),
  opts = "",
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

file

(character) image to be manipulated

outfile

(character) resultant image name (optional)

retimg

(logical) return image of class nifti

reorient

(logical) If retimg, should file be reoriented when read in? Passed to readnii.

intern

(logical) to be passed to system

bthresh

brightness threshold and should be greater than noise level and less than contrast of edges to be preserved.

sigma

spatial size (sigma i.e. half-width) of smoothing in mm.

dimg

dimensionality (2 or 3) depending on whether smoothing is to be within-plane (2) or fully 3D (3).

use_median

determines whether to use a local median filter in the cases where single-point noise is detected (0 or 1).

n_usans

determines whether the smoothing area (USAN) is to be found from secondary images (0 1 or 2).

extra.scans

List of extra scans for USAN. List of n_usans elements, where each element has 2 named objects bthresh and filename

opts

(character) operations to be passed to susan, not currently used.

verbose

(logical) print out command before running

...

additional arguments passed to fslcmd.

Value

If retimg then object of class nifti. Otherwise, Result from system command, depends if intern is TRUE or FALSE.
