Anomalous diffusion processes (ADP) are mathematically denoted by a power law in the Fokker-Planck equation, leading to the generalized form. There are several generalizations of the Fokker-Plank equation, which should give many different partial differential equations (PDEs). Here we adopted the so-called porous media equation, allowing the super-diffusive and the sub-diffusive processes &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tsallis, C. (2009). Introduction to Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics: Approaching a Complex World. Springer.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. In porous media, channels are created promoting or blocking the flow of the density function, which has been proved to provide a suitable application for MRI noise attenuation &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Da S Senra Filho, A.

&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, there are two different filters already implementing the anomalous diffusion process: the isotropic anomalous diffusion and anisotropic anomalous diffusion filters &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Da S Senra Filho, A.

Most frequently used for these scenarios:&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 1: Noise reduction as a pre-processing step for tissue segmentation&lt;br /&gt;
**When dealing with single voxel classification schemes, a noise reduction pre-processing step is usually helpful to reduce data fluctuation due to acquisition artifacts (e.g. reducing the number of misclassified voxels).&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 2: Volume rendering&lt;br /&gt;
**Noise reduction will result in nicer looking volume renderings&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 3: Noise reduction as part of image processing pipeline&lt;br /&gt;
**Could offer a better segmentation and classification on specific brain image analysis such as in Multiple Sclerosis lesion segmentation&lt;br /&gt;

This extension offer a set of tools for brain lesion simulation, based on MRI images. At moment, the module MS Lesion Simulator is available, where it can simulates both baseline scan lesion volumes (given a lesion load) and longitudinal image simulations. In summary, a statistical lesion database is generated based on a set of manual lesion mark-ups, being non-linearly registered to MNI152 space (isotropic 1mm of voxel resolution), and a local contrast ratio is applied on each image modality provided by the user. Using a small set of parameters (lesion load, lesion homogeneity, lesion intensity indenpendence and lesion variability), it is possible to generate a broad range of MS lesions patterns in multimodal MRI imaging techniques (at moment, T1, T2, T2-FLAIR, PD, DTI-FA and DTI-ADC images are provided). For more details about this project, please see the [http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/2057-1976/ab08fc original paper].&lt;br /&gt;

Most frequently used for these scenarios:&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 1: Simulate different anatomical/clinical MS lesions patterns on healthy individuals MRI images&lt;br /&gt;
**In the baseline scan approach, it is offered a simulation procedure where a determined lesion load is reconstructed using a subject specific anatomical features, resulting in a realistic MS lesion load simulation.&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 2: Simulate longitudinal MS lesion progression on clinical healthy individuals MRI images&lt;br /&gt;
**Another important issue in Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis is the lesion progression, where drive the therapeutic strategy by the health professionals. In this case, an automatic segmentation approach could be optimally adjusted for the time progression presented in a exam series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The ASL toolkit is a library that was designed to assist users to process Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) MRI images, since basic imaging protocols until the state-of-art models provided in the scientific literature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The major objective of this project is to give an open-source alternative to researchers in the MRI field. However, a profound knowledge of computing and data modeling is not a prior demand. It is expected that a simple set of python commands can be helpful to fast prototyping an ASL experiment or even collect simple quantitative ASL-based information. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This module was created in 3D Slicer to be another alternative to use the asltk framework, using a simple and quick-to-use graphical interface. The general usage here is basically the same pattern as using the python tool provided at `asltk` library. Further details can be found at the asltk official documentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the project is maintained as an open-source initiative and further assistance in coding maintance and new features can be create by a community of developers. To follow the updates or even help the project, please visit the official asltk website.&lt;br /&gt;

The ASL toolkit is a library that was designed to assist users to process Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) MRI images, since basic imaging protocols until the state-of-art models provided in the scientific literature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The major objective of this project is to give an open-source alternative to researchers in the MRI field. However, a profound knowledge of computing and data modeling is not a prior demand. It is expected that a simple set of python commands can be helpful to fast prototyping an ASL experiment or even collect simple quantitative ASL-based information. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This module was created in 3D Slicer to be another alternative to use the asltk framework, using a simple and quick-to-use graphical interface. The general usage here is basically the same pattern as using the python tool provided at `asltk` library. Further details can be found at the asltk official documentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the project is maintained as an open-source initiative and further assistance in coding maintance and new features can be create by a community of developers. To follow the updates or even help the project, please visit the official asltk website.&lt;br /&gt;

Anomalous diffusion processes (ADP) are mathematically denoted by a power law in the Fokker-Planck equation, leading to the generalized form. There are several generalizations of the Fokker-Plank equation, which should give many different partial differential equations (PDEs). Here we adopted the so-called porous media equation, allowing the super-diffusive and the sub-diffusive processes &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tsallis, C. (2009). Introduction to Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics: Approaching a Complex World. Springer.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}&lt;br /&gt;
Most frequently used for these scenarios:&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 1: Noise reduction as a pre-processing step for tissue segmentation&lt;br /&gt;
**When dealing with single voxel classification schemes, a noise reduction pre-processing step is usually helpful to reduce data fluctuation due to acquisition artifacts (e.g. reducing the number of misclassified voxels).&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 2: Volume rendering&lt;br /&gt;
**Noise reduction will result in nicer looking volume renderings&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 3: Noise reduction as part of image processing pipeline&lt;br /&gt;
**Could offer a better segmentation and classification on specific brain image analysis such as in Multiple Sclerosis lesion segmentation&lt;br /&gt;

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}&lt;br /&gt;
This module offer the Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) scalar index, which is able to calculate the activity of the glymphatic system, which may be evaluated with diffusion images. Lower diffusivity along the perivascular space on DTI-APLS seems to reflect impairment of the glymphatic system. More details about the DTI-ALPS method is presented in the Taoka et al. 2017 original paper &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28197821/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ---------------------------- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 1: Obtain the DTI-ALPS index calculation from standard DTI image and propers anatomical labels (see details at Taoka et al. 2017 paper &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28197821/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
**The DTI-ALPS index is a scalar value that represents the activity of the glymphatic system, which may be evaluated with diffusion images. Lower diffusivity along the perivascular space on DTI-APLS seems to reflect impairment of the glymphatic system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ---------------------------- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Usage Tips}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Tip 1: Call the DTI-ALPS calculation using GUI interface&lt;br /&gt;
**The DTI-ALPS index can be calculated using the direct GUI interface provided in the Slicer Module. See the User Interface section below.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tip 2: Call the DTI-ALPS calculation using command line Python script&lt;br /&gt;
**This Slicer Module provides a Python script to be called in the Slicer execution model, using command line. This can be useful when the user want to call a series of calculation without the use of GUI interface or by a server. See some ways to call the Python script &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;runDTIALPS.py&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assuming that Slicer is installed on Linux/Mac machines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;./Slicer --no-main-window --no-splash --python-script /path/to/module/runDTIALPS.py dti_volume.nrrd proj-label.nrrd assoc-label.nrrd&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assuming that Slicer is installed on Windows machines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;Slicer.exe --no-main-window --no-splash --python-script /path/to/module/runDTIALPS.py dti_volume.nrrd proj-label.nrrd assoc-label.nrrd&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;runDTIALPS.py&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; has some options that can be used:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;--MNISpace&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;: Informs whether the input DTI image is already in the MNI space (2 mm resolution). If yes, the input Proj/Assoc paths are changed for the standard MNI labels instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;--verbose&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;: Show more details thoughout the processing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''NOTE''': ''When the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;--MNISpace&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; is used, there is no need to provide the Proj/Assoc labels because the standard MNI labels are applied instead''&lt;br /&gt;

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}&lt;br /&gt;
This module offer the Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) scalar index, which is able to calculate the activity of the glymphatic system, which may be evaluated with diffusion images. Lower diffusivity along the perivascular space on DTI-APLS seems to reflect impairment of the glymphatic system. More details about the DTI-ALPS method is presented in the Taoka et al. 2017 original paper &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28197821/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ---------------------------- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 1: Obtain the DTI-ALPS index calculation from standard DTI image and propers anatomical labels (see details at Taoka et al. 2017 paper &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28197821/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
**The DTI-ALPS index is a scalar value that represents the activity of the glymphatic system, which may be evaluated with diffusion images. Lower diffusivity along the perivascular space on DTI-APLS seems to reflect impairment of the glymphatic system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ---------------------------- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Usage Tips}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Tip 1: Call the DTI-ALPS calculation using GUI interface&lt;br /&gt;
**The DTI-ALPS index can be calculated using the direct GUI interface provided in the Slicer Module. See the User Interface section below.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tip 2: Call the DTI-ALPS calculation using command line Python script&lt;br /&gt;
**This Slicer Module provides a Python script to be called in the Slicer execution model, using command line. This can be useful when the user want to call a series of calculation without the use of GUI interface or by a server. See some ways to call the Python script &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;runDTIALPS.py&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assuming that Slicer is installed on Linux/Mac machines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;./Slicer --no-main-window --no-splash --python-script /path/to/module/runDTIALPS.py dti_volume.nrrd proj-label.nrrd assoc-label.nrrd&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assuming that Slicer is installed on Linux/Mac machines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;Slicer.exe --no-main-window --no-splash --python-script /path/to/module/runDTIALPS.py dti_volume.nrrd proj-label.nrrd assoc-label.nrrd&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;runDTIALPS.py&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; has some options that can be used:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;--MNISpace&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;: Informs whether the input DTI image is already in the MNI space (2 mm resolution). If yes, the input Proj/Assoc paths are changed for the standar MNI labels instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;--verbose&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;: Show more details thoughout the processing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:dti_alps_panel.png|thumb|380px|User Interface]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Inputs:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input DTI Volume'''&lt;br /&gt;
**Input DTI volume. (Tip: Use Diffusion Tensor Estimation module to create an DTI image file)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input Projection Label'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The Projection label file that represents this brain region, as the same as described in the Taoka et al. 2017 paper.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input Association Label'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The Association label file that represents this brain region, as the same as described in the Taoka et al. 2017 paper.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''DTI-ALPS index'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The DTI-ALPS index value output&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Advanced Parameters:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input is in MNI space (2 mm resolution)'''&lt;br /&gt;
**A checkbox that affirms whether the input DTI image is already in the MNI space (2 mm resolution brain template). If it is true, than the Projection and Association labels are loaded from the template folder automatically. This is useful to run in batch processing, when a group study is performed. Note: The DTI space to MNI standard in not applied, this must be done before calling the DTI-ALPS module.&lt;br /&gt;

Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) is a method proposed by Toshiaki Taoka et al. in 2017 to investigate the perivascular space (PVS) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The PVS is a system of interstitial fluid-filled spaces surrounding blood vessels in the brain, playing a crucial role in waste clearance and neurovascular regulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DTI-ALPS utilizes DTI data to quantify the directional diffusion of water molecules within the brain's PVS. By applying a novel algorithm, DTI-ALPS distinguishes the PVS from adjacent tissues, enabling the precise assessment of PVS morphology and alterations. This method offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides non-invasive imaging of the PVS, allowing for longitudinal studies and investigation of various neurological conditions. Additionally, DTI-ALPS enables the assessment of PVS integrity and changes associated with aging, vascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders, offering potential insights into disease mechanisms and diagnostic markers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, DTI-ALPS represents a promising approach for studying the PVS and its implications in neurological health and disease. Its application may contribute to advancing our understanding of brain physiology and pathology, potentially leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies for a range of neurological conditions.&lt;br /&gt;

Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) is a method proposed by Toshiaki Taoka et al. in 2017 to investigate the perivascular space (PVS) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The PVS is a system of interstitial fluid-filled spaces surrounding blood vessels in the brain, playing a crucial role in waste clearance and neurovascular regulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DTI-ALPS utilizes DTI data to quantify the directional diffusion of water molecules within the brain's PVS. By applying a novel algorithm, DTI-ALPS distinguishes the PVS from adjacent tissues, enabling the precise assessment of PVS morphology and alterations. This method offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides non-invasive imaging of the PVS, allowing for longitudinal studies and investigation of various neurological conditions. Additionally, DTI-ALPS enables the assessment of PVS integrity and changes associated with aging, vascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders, offering potential insights into disease mechanisms and diagnostic markers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, DTI-ALPS represents a promising approach for studying the PVS and its implications in neurological health and disease. Its application may contribute to advancing our understanding of brain physiology and pathology, potentially leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies for a range of neurological conditions.&lt;br /&gt;

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}&lt;br /&gt;
This module offer the Diffusion Complexity (DC) scalar map, which is able to calculate the diffusion complexity measure using several statistical physics approaches. This method assumes the standard diffusion MRI acquisition protocol for DTI images. Detail about the method can be found at the paper&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Manuscript in revire process.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ---------------------------- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Use Case 1: Obtain a complementary scalar information using clinical DTI image acquisition protocol (DC Map)&lt;br /&gt;
**The DC map is a new scalar mapping that can give an additional information to analyse diffusion image sequences, without changing the MRI imaging protocol.&lt;br /&gt;
*Use Case 2: Gain focus on Gray Matter analysis using diffusion images&lt;br /&gt;
**DC map has a signal peak in GM tissue, which can be important to discriminate brain diseases in this particular brain tissue that is challenging to other classical DTI maps (e.g. FA and ADC)&lt;br /&gt;
*Use Case 3: Interpret the diffusion data in light of statistical physics information theory&lt;br /&gt;
**The DC map is based on the López-Ruiz, Mancini, and Calbet (LMC) information theory definition, giving the contribution of classical entropy (Shannon's entropy) and the disequilibrium function. Hence, another way to interpret the diffusion data can be given by this new technique.&lt;br /&gt;

Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) is a method proposed by Toshiaki Taoka et al. in 2017 to investigate the perivascular space (PVS) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The PVS is a system of interstitial fluid-filled spaces surrounding blood vessels in the brain, playing a crucial role in waste clearance and neurovascular regulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DTI-ALPS utilizes DTI data to quantify the directional diffusion of water molecules within the brain's PVS. By applying a novel algorithm, DTI-ALPS distinguishes the PVS from adjacent tissues, enabling the precise assessment of PVS morphology and alterations. This method offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides non-invasive imaging of the PVS, allowing for longitudinal studies and investigation of various neurological conditions. Additionally, DTI-ALPS enables the assessment of PVS integrity and changes associated with aging, vascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders, offering potential insights into disease mechanisms and diagnostic markers.&lt;br /&gt;

Overall, DTI-ALPS represents a promising approach for studying the PVS and its implications in neurological health and disease.

Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) is a method proposed by Toshiaki Taoka et al. in 2017 to investigate the perivascular space (PVS) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The PVS is a system of interstitial fluid-filled spaces surrounding blood vessels in the brain, playing a crucial role in waste clearance and neurovascular regulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DTI-ALPS utilizes DTI data to quantify the directional diffusion of water molecules within the brain's PVS. By applying a novel algorithm, DTI-ALPS distinguishes the PVS from adjacent tissues, enabling the precise assessment of PVS morphology and alterations. This method offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides non-invasive imaging of the PVS, allowing for longitudinal studies and investigation of various neurological conditions. Additionally, DTI-ALPS enables the assessment of PVS integrity and changes associated with aging, vascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders, offering potential insights into disease mechanisms and diagnostic markers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, DTI-ALPS represents a promising approach for studying the PVS and its implications in neurological health and disease. Its application may contribute to advancing our understanding of brain physiology and pathology, potentially leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies for a range of neurological conditions. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Manuscript in revire process.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}&lt;br /&gt;
This module offer the Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) scalar index, which is able to calculate the activity of the glymphatic system, which may be evaluated with diffusion images. Lower diffusivity along the perivascular space on DTI-APLS seems to reflect impairment of the glymphatic system. More details about the DTI-ALPS method is presented in the Taoka et al. 2017 original paper &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28197821/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Inputs:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input DTI Volume'''&lt;br /&gt;
**Input DTI volume. (Tip: Use Diffusion Tensor Estimation module to create an DTI image file)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input Projection Label'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The Projection label file that represents this brain region, as the same as described in the Taoka et al. 2017 paper.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input Association Label'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The Association label file that represents this brain region, as the same as described in the Taoka et al. 2017 paper.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''DTI-ALPS index'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The DTI-ALPS index value output&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Advanced Parameters:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input is in MNI space (2 mm resolution)'''&lt;br /&gt;
**A checkbox that affirms whether the input DTI image is already in the MNI space (2 mm resolution brain template). If it is true, than the Projection and Association labels are loaded from the template folder automatically. This is useful to run in batch processing, when a group study is performed. Note: The DTI space to MNI standard in not applied, this must be done before calling the DTI-ALPS module.&lt;br /&gt;

This module offer the Diffusion Complexity (DC) scalar map, which is able to calculate the diffusion complexity measure using several statistical physics approaches. This method assumes the standard diffusion MRI acquisition protocol for DTI images. Detail about the method can be found at the paper&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Manuscript in revire process.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 1: Obtain a complementary scalar information using clinical DTI image acquisition protocol (DC Map)&lt;br /&gt;
**The DC map is a new scalar mapping that can give an additional information to analyse diffusion image sequences, without changing the MRI imaging protocol.&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 2: Gain focus on Gray Matter analysis using diffusion images&lt;br /&gt;
**DC map has a signal peak in GM tissue, which can be important to discriminate brain diseases in this particular brain tissue that is challenging to other classical DTI maps (e.g. FA and ADC)&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 3: Interpret the diffusion data in light of statistical physics information theory&lt;br /&gt;
**The DC map is based on the López-Ruiz, Mancini, and Calbet (LMC) information theory definition, giving the contribution of classical entropy (Shannon's entropy) and the disequilibrium function. Hence, another way to interpret the diffusion data can be given by this new technique.&lt;br /&gt;

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}&lt;br /&gt;
This module offer a simple application to the Anisotropic Anomalous Diffusion (AAD) filter, which is able to increase the image SNR and preserve fine object's details around the image space. This method was studied on MRI structural images (T1 and T2), which other imaging modalities could be properly investigated in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ---------------------------- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 1: Noise reduction as a preprocessing step for tissue segmentation&lt;br /&gt;
**When dealing with single voxel classification schemes running noise reduction as a preprocessing scheme will reduce the number of single misclassified voxels.&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 2: Preprocessing to volume rendering&lt;br /&gt;
**Noise reduction will result in nicer looking volume renderings&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 3: Noise reduction as part of image processing pipeline&lt;br /&gt;
**Could offer a better segmentation and classification on specific brain image analysis such as in Multiple Sclerosis lesion segmentation&lt;br /&gt;

**Select the input image&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Output Volume'''&lt;br /&gt;
**Set the output image file which the filters should place the final result&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Diffusion Parameters:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Conductance'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The conductance regulates the diffusion intensity in the neighborhood area. Choose a higher conductance if the input image has strong noise seem in the whole image space.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Use Auto Conductance'''&lt;br /&gt;
**Choose if you want to use an automatic adjustment of conductance parameter. If this is checked, the inserted value is ignored and the optimization function below is used.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Optimization Function'''&lt;br /&gt;
**A set of optimization function for automatic estimation of conductance parameter. This is helpful is you do not have an initial guess on what value is appropriate to the conductance setting. (Canny, MAD and Morphological). Please see the [http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/publication/983 Insight-Journal article] that explain each of these automatic conductance adjustment methods.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Number of Iteractions'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The number of iterations regulates the numerical simulation of the anomalous process over the image. This parameters is also related with the de-noising intensity, however it is more sensible to the noise intensity. Choose the higher number of iterations if the image presents high intensity noise which is not well treated by the conductance parameter.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Time Step'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The time step is a normalization parameters for the numerical simulation. The maximum value, given as default, is set to 3D images. Lower time step restrict the numerical simulation of the anomalous process.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Anomalous parameter'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The anomalous parameter (or q value) is the generalization parameters responsible to give the anomalous process approach on the diffusion equation.

Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) are well-known and powerful imaging techniques in MRI. For DTI images, the most used measurements are the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). However, the limitations of FA and ADC formalism are also vastly debated due to low tissue contrast for ADC maps and measurement artifacts present in crossing-fiber orientation for FA maps. Although the DTI evaluation has evolved continually in recent years, there are still struggles regarding the quantitative measurement that can benefit brain areas that are consistently difficult to measure on diffusion-based methods, e.g., the grey matter (GM). The present Slicer extension proposes offer an image processing technique using the principle of diffusion distribution evaluation regarding the LMC complexity measure, named Diffusion Complexity (DC). &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Manuscript in revire process.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;

Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) are well-known and powerful imaging techniques in MRI. For DTI images, the most used measurements are the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). However, the limitations of FA and ADC formalism are also vastly debated due to low tissue contrast for ADC maps and measurement artifacts present in crossing-fiber orientation for FA maps. Although the DTI evaluation has evolved continually in recent years, there are still struggles regarding the quantitative measurement that can benefit brain areas that are consistently difficult to measure on diffusion-based methods, e.g., the grey matter (GM). The present Slicer extension proposes offer an image processing technique using the principle of diffusion distribution evaluation regarding the LMC complexity measure, named Diffusion Complexity (DC). &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Manuscript in revire process.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;

* Use Case 2: Gain focus on Gray Matter analysis using diffusion images&lt;br /&gt;
**DC map has a signal peak in GM tissue, which can be important to discriminate brain diseases in this particular brain tissue that is challenging to other classical DTI maps (e.g. FA and ADC)&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Case 3: Interpret the diffusion data in light of statistical physics information theory&lt;br /&gt;
**The DC map is based on the López-Ruiz, Mancini, and Calbet (LMC) information theory definition, giving the contribution of classical entropy (Shannon's entropy) and the disequilibrium function. Hence, another way to interpret the diffusion data can be given by this new technique.&lt;br /&gt;

This module offer a simple application to the Anisotropic Anomalous Diffusion (AAD) filter, which is able to increase the image SNR and preserve fine object's details around the image space. This method was studied on MRI structural images (T1 and T2), which other imaging modalities could be properly investigated in the future.&lt;br /&gt;

'''IO:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Input Volume'''&lt;br /&gt;
**Select the input image&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Output Volume'''&lt;br /&gt;
**Set the output image file which the filters should place the final result&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Diffusion Parameters:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Conductance'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The conductance regulates the diffusion intensity in the neighborhood area. Choose a higher conductance if the input image has strong noise seem in the whole image space.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Use Auto Conductance'''&lt;br /&gt;
**Choose if you want to use an automatic adjustment of conductance parameter. If this is checked, the inserted value is ignored and the optimization function below is used.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Optimization Function'''&lt;br /&gt;
**A set of optimization function for automatic estimation of conductance parameter. This is helpful is you do not have an initial guess on what value is appropriate to the conductance setting. (Canny, MAD and Morphological). Please see the [http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/publication/983 Insight-Journal article] that explain each of these automatic conductance adjustment methods.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Number of Iteractions'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The number of iterations regulates the numerical simulation of the anomalous process over the image. This parameters is also related with the de-noising intensity, however it is more sensible to the noise intensity. Choose the higher number of iterations if the image presents high intensity noise which is not well treated by the conductance parameter.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Time Step'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The time step is a normalization parameters for the numerical simulation. The maximum value, given as default, is set to 3D images. Lower time step restrict the numerical simulation of the anomalous process.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Anomalous parameter'''&lt;br /&gt;
**The anomalous parameter (or q value) is the generalization parameters responsible to give the anomalous process approach on the diffusion equation. See the reference paper&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Da S Senra Filho, A. C., Garrido Salmon, C. E., &amp;amp; Murta Junior, L. O. (2015). Anomalous diffusion process applied to magnetic resonance image enhancement. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 60(6), 2355–2373. doi:10.1088/0031-9155/60/6/2355&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; to choose the appropriate q value (at moment, only tested in MRI T1 and T2 weighted images).&lt;br /&gt;
