MNI152 Template
MNITemplate
The goal of MNITemplate is to provide the MNI Template of T1-weighted MRI imaging from http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ServicesAtlases/ICBM152NLin2009. In addition to the standard template, the image has been segmented into gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid (’CSF’) using the ‘FAST’ algorithm from ‘FSL’ https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/FAST..
For a template with a full white-matter parcellation map, see our EveTemplate package.

1. Introduction
The MNI152 template that is included with FSL: https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/Atlases
2. Reading the data into R
We first load the package into R:
library(MNITemplate)
Once the package is loaded into R, use the command readMNI()
to import the MNI template T1-w image as a nifti
object into R:
mni_t1 <- readMNI()
One can use the function orthographic
from the oro.nifti
package to visualize the template:
orthographic(mni_t1)
In many preprocessing pipelines, the path of the template file in the system must be specified. For this, use the following:
mni_path <- getMNIPath()
and to get brain mask:
mni_brain_mask_path <- getMNIPath("Brain_Mask")
3. Segmentation
We performed a 3-tissue class segmentation of the T1w MNI template using the FSL FAST segmentation algorithm via the fslr
package. The script that was used to perform the segmentation can be found here. The segmentation labels are 0 for Background (outside of the brain), 1 for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), 2 for grey matter (GM) and 3 for white matter (WM). Let's read the segmentation classes into R:
seg <- readMNISeg()
orthographic(seg)
If one wishes to create a WM mask, could do the following:
wm_mask <- seg
wm_mask[wm_mask!=3] <- 0
and similarly for the other tissues.
