## About The Project

Clinica is a software platform for clinical research studies involving patients
with neurological and psychiatric diseases and the acquisition of multimodal
data (neuroimaging, clinical and cognitive evaluations, genetics...), most
often with longitudinal follow-up.

Clinica is command-line driven and written in Python. It uses the
[Nipype](https://nipype.readthedocs.io/) system for pipelining and combines
widely-used software packages for neuroimaging data analysis
([ANTs](http://stnava.github.io/ANTs/),
[FreeSurfer](https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/),
[FSL](https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki),
[MRtrix](https://www.mrtrix.org/), [PETPVC](https://github.com/UCL/PETPVC),
[SPM](https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/)), machine learning
([Scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/)) and the [BIDS
standard](http://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/) for data organization.

Clinica provides tools to convert publicly available neuroimaging datasets into
BIDS, namely:

- [ADNI: Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Converters/ADNI2BIDS)
- [AIBL: Australian Imaging, Biomarker & Lifestyle Flagship Study of Ageing](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Converters/AIBL2BIDS)
- [NIFD: Neuroimaging in Frontotemporal Dementia](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Converters/NIFD2BIDS)
- [OASIS: Open Access Series of Imaging Studies](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Converters/OASIS2BIDS)

Clinica can process any BIDS-compliant dataset with a set of complex processing
pipelines involving different software packages for the analysis of
neuroimaging data (T1-weighted MRI, diffusion MRI and PET data). It also
provides integration between feature extraction and statistics, machine
learning or deep learning.

<p align="center">
  <i>Current pipelines are indicated in blue while new or updated pipelines are indicated in purple (will be released in Summer 2020).</i>
</p>

Clinica is also showcased as a framework for the reproducible classification of
Alzheimer's disease using [machine
learning](https://github.com/aramis-lab/AD-ML) and [deep
learning](https://github.com/aramis-lab/AD-DL).



## Getting Started
> Full instructions for installation and additional information can be found in
the [user documentation](http://www.clinica.run/doc).

Clinica currently supports macOS and Linux. It can be installed by typing the
following command:

```sh
pip install clinica
```

To avoid conflicts with other versions of the dependency packages installed by
pip, it is strongly recommended to create a virtual environment before the
installation.  For example, use
[Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html), to create a virtual
environment and activate it before installing clinica (you can also use
`virtualenv`):

```sh
conda create --name clinicaEnv python=3.7
conda activate clinicaEnv
```

Depending on the pipeline that you want to use, you need to install
pipeline-specific interfaces. Not all the dependencies are necessary to run
Clinica. Please refer to this [page](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Third-party/)
to determine which third-party libraries you need to install.

## Example

Diagram illustrating the Clinica pipelines involved when performing a group
comparison of FDG PET data projected on the cortical surface between patients
with Alzheimer's disease and healthy controls from the ADNI database:
![ClinicaExample](http://www.clinica.run/img/clinica_example.png)
1. Clinical and neuroimaging data are downloaded from the ADNI website and data
   are converted into BIDS with the [`adni-to-bids`
   converter](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Converters/ADNI2BIDS).
2. Estimation of the cortical and white surface is then produced by the
   [`t1-freesurfer`
   pipeline](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Pipelines/T1_FreeSurfer).
3. FDG PET data can be projected on the subject’s cortical surface and
   normalized to the FsAverage template from FreeSurfer using the
   [`pet-surface` pipeline](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Pipelines/PET_Surface).
4. TSV file with demographic information of the population studied is given to
   the [`statistics-surface`
   pipeline](http://www.clinica.run/doc/Pipelines/Stats_Surface) to generate
   the results of the group comparison.
