Truly heroic work by the stellar @cieslakmatt.bsky.social + the HBCD dMRI working group team. Refactored QSIPrep + QSIRecon is the result of nearly 3y of concerted development + testing. It will be a total workhorse for HBCD -- and almost any other dMRI scan. Check it out for your data!!!

We made numerous updates to the QSIPrep and QSIRecon software packages to better perform on HBCD’s infant/pediatric diffusion MRI. New preprocessing includes partial-Fourier Gibbs unringing, MP-PCA, 2-stage susceptibility distortion correction, SynthStrip/Synthseg and MNIInfant atlases.
