SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pandas, numpy, matplotlib, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a principled framework for interpreting QC metrics across neuroimaging pipelines to guide subject inclusion decisions and report reproducible quality criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow guidance: Interpret QC outputs from MRIQC, fMRIPrep, and custom pipelines to decide which subjects to exclude.
  • Decision documentation: Generate exclusion summaries and methods sections to accompany publications.
  • Use Case: In a study with fMRI and structural MRI data, determine exclusions based on FD, tsnr, and other IQMs, and produce a concise QC report.

Quick Start

Start by loading MRIQC and fMRIPrep outputs, mapping key metrics to predefined thresholds, and generating a subject-level exclusion list with justification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine subject exclusion criteria from MRIQC and fMRIPrep outputs?

You can determine subject exclusion criteria by parsing MRIQC and fMRIPrep outputs to map QC metrics like FD and tsnr to predefined thresholds, generating a reproducible subject-level exclusion list with justifications.

What is the best way to generate a reproducible neuroimaging QC report for publications?

The best way to generate a reproducible QC report is to interpret QC metrics across neuroimaging pipelines, apply standardized thresholds, and document exclusion summaries and methods sections to accompany your publications.

Can I apply standardized thresholds to structural MRI and EEG/MEG data quality workflows?

Yes, you can apply standardized thresholds to structural MRI and EEG/MEG data quality workflows by mapping Image Quality Metrics to predefined limits and assessing data quality across multiple neuroimaging modalities.

How do I set framewise displacement and tsnr thresholds for fMRI data exclusion?

You set fMRI data exclusion thresholds by loading pipeline outputs, mapping key metrics like framewise displacement and tsnr to predefined limits, and producing an exclusion list detailing which subjects fail these criteria.

Do I need pandas and matplotlib to process neuroimaging QC metrics?

You need pandas and numpy to parse and process neuroimaging QC metrics, while matplotlib is used to visualize data quality distributions and support your exclusion decisions.
