The shape of the T1 image and the shape of the electric field are different

[lucky_lin]

@bryn Can I export the new T1.nii.gz file? The T1 and the electric field seem to be in opposite directions along the x-axis. If I can export it, will the new T1 have the same orientation as the original one?

what do you mean by "The T1 and the electric field seem to be in opposite directions along the x-axis"?

• the interpolated T1 image and the E-field?
• is the interpolated T1 image NOT shown in the same position/orientation as the original T1 image from the modeler?
• is the original T1 image (which you imported in the modeler) aligned/shown in the same position/orientation as the model?

It would help if you would add screenshots to your question, with explanations of what each screenshot is trying to demonstrate.

@bryn What I mean is that the slice with index 0 in the T1 image and the slice with index 1 in the electric field are not on the same side of the head model along the x-axis. Additionally, I would like to know if it is possible to export the interpolated T1 image. I need the T1 structural image that corresponds to the simulated electric field to create a dataset.

[bryn]

but are you using a slice field viewer to show the interpolated MRI slice? If not you basically are looking at the original MRI, with different grid and data ordering.

@bryn I don't know how to use the slice viewer to inspect the T1 image. I just want to export it.

I sent you code (it can also be done in GUI) above to interpolate the T1w image onto the E-field/simulation grid. If you do that you can export it in the same format as you export the E-field (not as a nii.gz file, since the simulation grid is rectilinear which is not supported by nifti files).

@bryn Is the following code correct? I'm not sure if the input is correct.

inputs1 = [model_to_grid_filter.Outputs[""]]
field_data_text_exporter1 = analysis.exporters.FieldDataTextExporter(inputs=inputs1)
field_data_text_exporter1.FileName = output_file1
field_data_text_exporter1.UpdateAttributes()
document.AllAlgorithms.Add(field_data_text_exporter1)
field_data_text_exporter1.Update(overwrite=True)

[bryn]

this does not include the interpolation...

to access an output of an analysis algorithm you can use named outputs or indexed outputs, in your snippet above it may be easier to use the index '0'.

inputs1 = [model_to_grid_filter.Outputs[0]]

@bryn Thank you!!! I'll give it a try！^^

@bryn After executing the code, an error occurred that prevented the export of the txt file.

[bryn]

looking at the error 'Unable to create destination file', I would guess you are trying to write to a directory that does not exist (yet) or without write permissions

[lucky_lin]

However, the electric field data can be exported.

what does your code look like? I create the pipeline in the GUI and it seems to run fine for me (v9.0.0). The "To Python" function yields

your code is still not using the FieldInterpolationFilter to interpolate the T1w image onto the same grid as the E-field. Note, the FieldDataTextExporter takes the output of the interpolator as input
