Dear MRtric community,
We have identified a limitation in our scanner regarding the utilization of different directions for different b values. Specifically, we are currently unable to independently acquire images with b=1000 and b=2000 while using varying directions and gradient tables.
To overcome this limitation, we propose a solution: acquiring the b=1000 images with 30 directions and the b=2000 images with 45 directions separately, all on the same subject, while keeping all parameters constant except for the gradient directions. We are wondering if MRtrix offers any commands that could facilitate the process of combining these separate scans. Additionally, we have concerns about the potential impact on tractography performance when combining these datasets. I would appreciate your input
Thanks,
Parand
