The Spinal Cord Toolbox is an open-source software
package for processing and analysis of multi-parametric
MRI data of the spinal cord. Main features are automatic
spinal cord segmentation (PropSeg), motion correction
based on slice-wise regularized registration, web-based
interface and template-based registration enabling
metric extraction (e.g., cross-sectional area,
fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, MTR) for any
vertebral and spinal level and for specific white matter
tracts (e.g., corticospinal, cuneatus). By providing the
first semi-automatic framework for registering MR images
on a common template, the Spinal Cord Toolbox opens the
door to large-group and multi-center studies of spinal
cord MRI data.
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
