Abstract

Brain image analysis often involves processing neuroimaging data with different software packages. Using different software packages together requires exchanging files between them; the output files of one package are used as input files to the next package in the processing sequence. File exchanges become problematic when different packages use different file formats or different conventions within the same file format. Although comprehensive medical image file formats have been developed, no one format exists that satisfies the needs of analyses that involve multiple processing algorithms. The LONI Debabeler acts as a mediator between neuroimaging software packages by automatically using an appropriate file translation to convert files between each pair of linked packages. These translations are built and edited using the Debabeler graphical interface and compensate for package-dependent variations that result in intrapackage incompatibilities. The Debabeler gives neuroimaging processing environments a configurable automaton for file translation and provides users a flexible application for developing robust solutions to translation problems.
