Introduction to fmriqa

Martin Wilson

2018-02-19

Overview

The fmriqa package provides an implementation of the fMRI quality assurance (QA) analysis protocol detailed by Friedman and Glover (2006) http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jmri.20583.

Usage

# load the package
library(fmriqa)

# get help on the options for run_fmriqa
?run_fmriqa

# run the analysis - a file chooser will appear when a data_file argument is not given
run_fmriqa()

Real data example

library(fmriqa)
fname <- system.file("extdata", "qa_data.nii.gz", package = "fmriqa")
res <- run_fmriqa(data_file = fname, gen_png = FALSE, gen_res_csv = FALSE, tr = 3)
