Connectome Mapper 3
Latest released version: v3.0.1
This neuroimaging processing pipeline software is developed by the Connectomics Lab at the University Hospital of Lausanne (CHUV) for use within the SNF Sinergia Project 170873, as well as for open-source software distribution. Source code is hosted on GitHub.

About
Connectome Mapper 3 is an open-source Python3 image processing pipeline software,
with a Graphical User Interface (GUI), that implements full anatomical, diffusion and
resting-state MRI processing pipelines, from raw Diffusion / T1 / T2 / BOLD data
to multi-resolution connection matrices based on a new version of the Lausanne
parcellation atlas, aka Lausanne2018
.
Connectome Mapper 3
pipelines use a combination of tools from
well-known software packages, including FSL, FreeSurfer, ANTs,
MRtrix3, Dipy and AFNI, empowered by the Nipype dataflow library.
These pipelines are designed to provide the best software implementation
for each state of processing at the time of conception, and can be
easily updated as newer and better neuroimaging software become available.
To enhance reproducibility and replicatibility, the processing pipelines with all dependencies in a Docker image container, which handles datasets organized following the BIDS standard and is distributed as a BIDS App @ Docker Hub. For execution on high-performance computing cluster, a Singularity image is also made freely available @ Sylabs Cloud.
To enhanced accessibility and reduce the risk of misconfiguration,
Connectome Mapper 3 comes with an interactive GUI, aka cmpbidsappmanager
,
which supports the user in all the steps involved in the configuration of
the pipelines, the configuration and execution of the BIDS App, and
the control of the output quality. In addition, to facilitate the use
by users not familiar with Docker and Singularity containers,
Connectome Mapper 3 provides two Python commandline wrappers
(connectomemapper3_docker
and connectomemapper3_singularity
) that will
generate and run the appropriate command.
