NAME

       ('mia\-2dsegseriesstats',)  -  Evaluate  time-intensity  curves in masked regions of image
       series.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-2dsegseriesstats -o <original> -g <registered> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-2dsegseriesstats This program is used evaluate various time-intensity  curves  over  a
       series  of  images  given  by a segmentation set. Specifically, the program is taylored to
       evaluate average intensities and variations of sections the left ventricle myocardium. The
       segmentation  set  must  contain  the  segmentations  for all slices that will be accessed
       during evaluation.

OPTIONS

              -o --original=(input, required); string
                     original segmentation set

              -g --registered=(input, required); string
                     registered segmentation set

              -k --skip=2
                     images to skip at the begin of the series, if (k < 0) use  RV  peak  of  the
                     registered set if set

              -r --reference=-1
                     reference  frame for automatic curve extraction. Negative values can be used
                     to indicate specific values (if given in the segmentation set):
                        -3: Middle of the series
                        -2: prefererred reference
                        -1: LV peak
                        if any of the above is not available or the value is < -3, use  the  last
                     frame of the series.

              -c --curves=(output); string
                     region  average  value  curves,  The  output files each comprises a table in
                     plain-text format that contains three columns for each  section  of  the  LV
                     myocardium:  The  first  column  contains  the  values obtained by using the
                     original segmentation of the reference on all images of the original series,
                     the   second   column   contains  the  values  obtained  by  the  registered
                     segmentation of the reference on all images of the  registered  series,  and
                     the  third column contains the values obtained by using the segmentations of
                     each slice on the original images.

              -v --varcurves=(output); string
                     region variation values, same formt as described above.

              -n --nsections=0
                     number of sections to use, 0=use as segmented, otherwise Otherwise,  the  LV
                     myocardium  is divided into n sections that enclose equal angles starting at
                     the right ventricle insertion point moving clock-wise using the LV center as
                     angular point.

   Help & Info
              -V --verbose=warning
                     verbosity  of  output,  print messages of given level and higher priorities.
                     Supported priorities starting at lowest level are:

                        info ‐ Low level messages
                        trace ‐ Function call trace
                        fail ‐ Report test failures
                        warning ‐ Warnings
                        error ‐ Report errors
                        debug ‐ Debug output
                        message ‐ Normal messages
                        fatal ‐ Report only fatal errors

              -h --help
                     print this help

              -? --usage
                     print a short help

                 --version
                     print the version number and exit

   Processing
                 --threads=-1
                     Maxiumum number of threads to use for processing,This number should be lower
                     or  equal  to  the  number  of  logical processor cores in the machine. (-1:
                     automatic estimation).

EXAMPLE

       Evaluate the two curve typed for 12 sections from segemntation sets orig.set  and  reg.set
       skipping  the  first  2 frames. The output will be written to curves.txt and varcurves.txt
       respectively.

       mia-2dsegseriesstats -i org.set -g reg.set -c curves.txt -v varcurves.txt -n 12 -k 2
