Major update to QSIPrep, looking for feedback

We’ve been working on a major update to QSIPrep and are excited to announce that a release candidate is available for testing: version 26.1.0rc1.

Major new features include:

  • Inclusion of TORTOISEv4 head motion / eddy current correction
  • Synb0-generated fieldmapless distortion correction reference
  • T2wreg from TORTOISEv4 for fieldmapless distortion correction
  • GPU acceleration/toggling options for TORTOISE, Synb0, Synthstrip/Synthseg, eddy
  • QSIPlan: see how input data will be grouped (including “virtual acquisitions”) before running QSIPrep.
  • Gradient nonlinearity distortion correction using coef files or pre-computed displacement maps
  • Hybrid fieldmap/registration-based susceptibility distortion correction
  • Simplification of commandline arguments and more options for ignoring or forcing steps

new documentation is available at QSIPrep: Preprocessing of Diffusion MRI (q-space) Images — qsiprep 26.1.0rc1 documentation with a guide to Upgrading from 26.0 — qsiprep 26.1.0rc1 documentation . The full release note is here.
