# QAP BIDS Application



## Documentation



Extensive information can be found in the [Quality Assessment Protocol](http://preprocessed-connectomes-project.org/quality-assessment-protocol/) webpage.



## Description



Various objective measures for MRI data quality have been proposed over the years. However, until now no software has allowed researchers to obtain all these measures in the same place with relative ease. The [Quality Assessment Protocol](http://preprocessed-connectomes-project.org/quality-assessment-protocol/) package allows you to obtain spatial and anatomical data quality measures for your own data. Reports can optionally be generated that provide a variety of data visualizations to aid with quality assessment.



This container calculates dataset level quality assessment metrics of structural and functional MRI data when run in "participant" mode and compiles the outputs of many different participants outputs into single CSV files when run in "group" mode.



### Usage



This App has the following command line arguments:



    usage: run.py [-h]

                  [--participant_label PARTICIPANT_LABEL [PARTICIPANT_LABEL ...]]

                  [--pipeline_file PIPELINE_FILE] [--n_cpus N_CPUS] [--mem MEM]

                  [--save_working_dir] [--report]

                  bids_dir output_dir {participant,group}



    PCP-QAP Pipeline Runner



    positional arguments:

      bids_dir              The directory with the input dataset formatted

                            according to the BIDS standard.

      output_dir            The directory where the output CSV files should be

                            stored.

      {participant,group}   Level of the analysis that will be performed. Multiple

                            participant level analyses can be run independently

                            (in parallel) using the same output_dir. Group level

                            analysis compiles multiple participant level quality

                            metrics intogroup-level csv files.



    optional arguments:

      -h, --help            show this help message and exit

      --participant_label PARTICIPANT_LABEL [PARTICIPANT_LABEL ...]

                            The label of the participant that should be analyzed.

                            The label corresponds to sub- from

                            the BIDS spec (so it does not include "sub-"). If this

                            parameter is not provided all subjects should be

                            analyzed. Multiple participants can be specified with

                            a space separated list.

      --pipeline_file PIPELINE_FILE

                            Name for the pipeline configuration file to use, uses

                            a default configuration if not specified

      --n_cpus N_CPUS       Number of execution resources available for the

                            pipeline, default=1

      --mem MEM             Amount of RAM available to the pipeline in GB, default

                            = 6

      --save_working_dir    Save the contents of the working directory.

      --report              Generates pdf for graphically assessing data quality.



To run it in participant level mode (for one participant):



    docker run -i --rm \

        -v /Users/filo/data/ds005:/bids_dataset \

        -v /Users/filo/outputs:/outputs \

        bids-apps/qap:v1.0.0 \

        /bids_dataset /outputs --participant_label 01 participant



To run all subjects and generate the group level analysis report:



    docker run -i --rm \

        -v /Users/filo/data/ds005:/bids_dataset \

        -v /Users/filo/outputs:/outputs \

        bids-apps/qap:v1.0.0 \

        /bids_dataset /outputs group
