|Program title || BRAINSROIAuto - Foreground masking tool

|-
|Program version || 2.4.1

|}

== Usage ==
BRAINSROIAuto finds the foreground tissue region in an image.

* '''''IO''''' 
** '''Input Image Volume''' [--inputVolume] : The input image for finding the largest region filled mask.
** '''Output Mask''' [--outputROIMaskVolume] : The ROI automatically found from the input image.
** '''Output Image Clipped by ROI''' [--outputClippedVolumeROI] : The inputVolume clipped to the region of the brain mask.

* '''''Configuration Parameters''''' 
** '''Otsu Percentile Threshold''' [--otsuPercentileThreshold] : Parameter to the Otsu threshold algorithm. ''Default value: 0.01''
** '''Otsu Correction Factor''' [--thresholdCorrectionFactor] : A factor to scale the Otsu algorithm's result threshold, in case clipping mangles the image. ''Default value: 1.0''
** '''Closing Size''' [--closingSize] : The Closing Size (in millimeters) for largest connected filled mask. This value is divided by image spacing and rounded to the next largest voxel number. ''Default value: 9.0''
** ''' ROIAuto Dilate Size''' [--ROIAutoDilateSize] : This flag is only relavent when using ROIAUTO mode for initializing masks. It defines the final dilation size to capture a bit of background outside the tissue region. At setting of 10mm has been shown to help regularize a BSpline registration type so that there is some background constraints to match the edges of the head better. ''Default value: 0.0''
** '''Output Image Pixel Type''' [--outputVolumePixelType] : The output image Pixel Type is the scalar datatype for representation of the Output Volume. ''Default value: short''
