gif

Module: mqc/gif

generates quality control (QC) screenshots between two MRI volumes or, if you give only one input, runs through all the images in a volume in 4d. It extracts the central sections (sagittal, coronal and axial) of the volumes, creates annotated mosaics and combines them into an animated GIF for rapid visual comparison.
