abstract = {In order to support efficient processing, data must be
formatted according to standards thatare prevalent in the
field and widely supported among actively developed analysis
tools. TheBrain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) (Gorgolewski
et al., 2016) is an open standard designedfor computational
accessibility, operator legibility, and a wide and easily
extendable scopeof modalities — and is consequently used
by numerous analysis and processing tools as thepreferred
input format in many fields of neuroscience. HeuDiConv
(Heuristic DICOM Converter)enables flexible and efficient
conversion of spatially reconstructed neuroimaging data
fromthe DICOM format (quasi-ubiquitous in biomedical image
acquisition systems, particularlyin clinical settings) to
BIDS, as well as other file layouts. HeuDiConv provides a
multi-stageoperator input workflow (discovery, manual
tuning, conversion) where a manual tuning step isoptional
and the entire conversion can thus be seamlessly integrated
into a data processingpipeline. HeuDiConv is written in
Python, and supports the DICOM specification for input
parsing, and the BIDS specification for output construction.
The support for these standardsis extensive, and HeuDiConv
can handle complex organization scenarios that arise for
specificdata types (e.g., multi-echo sequences, or
single-band reference volumes). In addition togenerating
valid BIDS outputs, additional support is offered for custom
output layouts. Thisis obtained via a set of built-in fully
functional or example heuristics expressed as simplePython
functions. Those heuristics could be taken as a template or
as a base for developingcustom heuristics, thus providing
full flexibility and maintaining user accessibility.
HeuDiConvfurther integrates with DataLad (Halchenko et al.,
2021), and can automatically preparehierarchies of DataLad
datasets with optional obfuscation of sensitive data and
metadata,including obfuscating patient visit timestamps in
the git version control system. As a result,given its
extensibility, large modality support, and integration with
advanced data managementtechnologies, HeuDiConv has become a
mainstay in numerous neuroimaging workflows, andconstitutes
a powerful and highly adaptable tool of potential interest
to large swathes of theneuroimaging community.},
