iBEAT Cloud - Instructions

iBEAT: Infant Brain Extraction and Analysis Toolbox

1. First, you have to register as a new user, or log into the system if you are already registered.

2. Second, upload your compressed anonymized T1w/T2w brain MRI data in NIFTI format. Only Zip compression format is accepted. Most of MRI scanners produce DICOM data so a previous conversion to NIFTI format is required. There are many software packages that can do the job but we recommend dcm2nii

(part of MRICRON software) which is a free and powerful tool.

3. Once your data is uploaded, iBEAT will process your request as soon as possible and generate a report containing the results.

4. Finally, you will receive an e-mail informing about your request completion. The report will be included as an attachment, and you will be able to download a package including image files generated during the process.

About iBEAT

iBEAT is a toolbox for processing infant brain MR images, using multimodality (including T1w and T2w) or single-modality. Main functions of the software (step by step) include image preprocessing, brain extraction, tissue segmentation and brain labeling. The software is developed by the IDEA group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. iBEAT was first developed in 2012, now re-developed with more advanced techniques.
