ConstrainedSphericalDeconvolution
---------------------------------

`Link to code <file:///build/nipype-1.1.8/nipype/interfaces/mrtrix/tensors.py#L194>`__

Wraps the executable command ``csdeconv``.

Perform non-negativity constrained spherical deconvolution.

Note that this program makes use of implied symmetries in the diffusion profile.
First, the fact the signal attenuation profile is real implies that it has conjugate symmetry,
i.e. Y(l,-m) = Y(l,m)* (where * denotes the complex conjugate). Second, the diffusion profile should be
antipodally symmetric (i.e. S(x) = S(-x)), implying that all odd l components should be zero.
Therefore, this program only computes the even elements.    Note that the spherical harmonics equations used here
differ slightly from those conventionally used, in that the (-1)^m factor has been omitted. This should be taken
into account in all subsequent calculations. Each volume in the output image corresponds to a different spherical
harmonic component, according to the following convention:

* [0] Y(0,0)
* [1] Im {Y(2,2)}
* [2] Im {Y(2,1)}
* [3] Y(2,0)
* [4] Re {Y(2,1)}
* [5] Re {Y(2,2)}
* [6] Im {Y(4,4)}
* [7] Im {Y(4,3)}

DWI2SphericalHarmonicsImage
---------------------------

`Link to code <file:///build/nipype-1.1.8/nipype/interfaces/mrtrix/tensors.py#L50>`__

Wraps the executable command ``dwi2SH``.

Convert base diffusion-weighted images to their spherical harmonic representation.

This program outputs the spherical harmonic decomposition for the set measured signal attenuations.
The signal attenuations are calculated by identifying the b-zero images from the diffusion encoding supplied
(i.e. those with zero as the b-value), and dividing the remaining signals by the mean b-zero signal intensity.
The spherical harmonic decomposition is then calculated by least-squares linear fitting.
Note that this program makes use of implied symmetries in the diffusion profile.

First, the fact the signal attenuation profile is real implies that it has conjugate symmetry,
i.e. Y(l,-m) = Y(l,m)* (where * denotes the complex conjugate). Second, the diffusion profile should be
antipodally symmetric (i.e. S(x) = S(-x)), implying that all odd l components should be zero. Therefore,
this program only computes the even elements.

Note that the spherical harmonics equations used here differ slightly from those conventionally used,
in that the (-1)^m factor has been omitted. This should be taken into account in all subsequent calculations.

Each volume in the output image corresponds to a different spherical harmonic component, according to the following convention:

* [0] Y(0,0)
* [1] Im {Y(2,2)}
* [2] Im {Y(2,1)}
* [3] Y(2,0)
* [4] Re {Y(2,1)}
* [5] Re {Y(2,2)}
* [6] Im {Y(4,4)}
* [7] Im {Y(4,3)}
