Installation

Download and install external software

  • NODDI MATLAB toolbox. Download the software and follow the instructions provided here to install it.

  • CAMINO toolkit. Download the software and follow the instructions provided here to install it.

  • SPArse Modeling Software (SPAMS). Download the software and follow the instructions provided here to install it.

Setup paths/variables in MATLAB

Add the folder containing the source code of AMICO to your MATLAB PATH.

Copy the file AMICO_Setup.txt and rename it to AMICO_Setup.m. Modify its content to set the paths to your specific needs, as follows:

  • AMICO_code_path : path to the folder containing the MATLAB source code of AMICO (this repository). E.g. /home/user/AMICO/code/matlab.

  • NODDI_path : path to the folder containing the source code of the NODDI toolbox (in case you want to use NODDI, not needed for ActiveAx). E.g. /home/user/NODDI_toolbox_v0.9.

  • CAMINO_path : path to the bin folder containing the executables of the Camino toolkit (in case you want to use ActiveAx, not needed for NODDI). E.g. /home/user/camino/bin.

  • SPAMS_path : path to the folder containing the source code of the SPAMS Library. E.g. /home/user/spams.

  • AMICO_data_path : path to the folder where you store all your datasets. E.g. /home/user/AMICO/data. Then, the software assumes the folder structure is the following:

    ├── data
    ├── Study_01                 --> all subjects acquired with protocol "Study_01"
        ├── Subject_01
        ├── Subject_02
        ├── ...
    ├── Study_02                 --> all subjects acquired with protocol "Study_02"
        ├── Subject_01
        ├── Subject_02
        ├── ...
    ├── ...

    This way, the kernels need to be computed only once per each study, i.e. same protocol (number of shells, b-values etc), and subsequently adapted to each subject (specific gradient directions) very efficiently.

Getting started

Tutorials/demos are provided in the folder doc/demos/ to help you get started with the AMICO framework.
