Diffusion Image Processing and Analysis

## NAME

teem-tend - Diffusion Image Processing and Analysis

## DESCRIPTION

-

  "tend" is a command-line interface to much of the functionality in "ten",

-

  a C library for diffusion image processing. Ten is one library in the "Teem" collection of libraries. More information about Teem is at \<http://teem.sourceforge.net\>.

-

  Users are strongly encouraged to join the teem-users mailing list:

-

  \<http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/teem-users\>. This is the primary forum for feedback, questions, and feature requests.

-

  Like "unu", another Teem command-line binary, it is often useful to chain

-

  together invocations of tend with pipes, as in the following, which estimates tensors from DWIs, takes a slice of the tensor volume, computes the standard RGB colormap of the principal eigenvector, and then quantizes it to an 8-bit PNG:

-

  tend estim **-i** dwi.nhdr **-B** kvp **-knownB0** true \\

-

  \| tend slice **-a** 2 **-p** 30 \\ \| tend evecrgb **-c** 0 **-a** cl2 **-gam** 1.2 \\ \| unu quantize **-b** 8 **-min** 0 **-max** 1 **-o** z30-rgb.png

-

  If tend repeatedly proves itself useful for your research, an

-

  acknowledgment to that effect in your publication would be greatly appreciated, such as (for LaTeX): "Dataset processing performed with the {\\tt tend} tool part of the {\\tt Teem} toolkit available at {\\tt $\<$http://teem.sf.net$\>$}"

## SEE ALSO

The full documentation for **Teem** is maintained as a Texinfo manual.  If the **info** and **teem-tend** programs are properly installed at your site, the command

-

  **info teem-tend**

should give you access to the complete manual.
