iBEAT V2.0 Cloud - Instructions

iBEAT V2.0: Infant Brain Extraction and Analysis Toolbox

1. First, you have to register as a new user, or log into the system if you have 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 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 reliable tool.

3. Once your data is uploaded, iBEAT Cloud 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.
