Synopsis

The ACID-Toolbox is an open-source toolbox for brain and spinal-cord diffusion data. It enables the preprocessing and creation of DTI/DKI, and biophysical parameter-maps in one single pipeline. Preprocessing covers correction for eddy-currents and motion-artefacts, susceptibility distortions and adaptive denoising. For model-fitting, the toolbox offers several algorithms to estimate the diffusion or the kurtosis tensors as well as estimation of biophysical parameters. ACID is integrated into the batch system of the Statistical-Parametric-Mapping (SPM12) software for the analysis of neuroimaging data and thus benefits from associated spatial and statistical processing modules. Additionally, ACID is BIDS compatible but also applicable to non-BIDS-conform data.
