nilearn.image.index_img¶

nilearn.image.index_img(imgs, index)[source]¶

Indexes into a 4D Niimg-like object in the fourth dimension.

Common use cases include extracting a 3D image out of img or creating a 4D image whose data is a subset of img data.

Parameters:

imgs4D Niimg-like object: See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation.
indexAny type compatible with numpy array indexing: Used for indexing the 4D data array in the fourth dimension.

Returns:

Nifti1Image: Indexed image.

Examples

First we concatenate two MNI152 images to create a 4D-image:

>>> from nilearn import datasets
>>> from nilearn.image import concat_imgs, index_img
>>> joint_mni_image = concat_imgs([datasets.load_mni152_template(),
...                                datasets.load_mni152_template()])
>>> print(joint_mni_image.shape)
(197, 233, 189, 2)

We can now select one slice from the last dimension of this 4D-image:

>>> single_mni_image = index_img(joint_mni_image, 1)
>>> print(single_mni_image.shape)
(197, 233, 189)

We can also select multiple frames using the slice constructor:

>>> five_mni_images = concat_imgs([datasets.load_mni152_template()] * 5)
>>> print(five_mni_images.shape)
(197, 233, 189, 5)

>>> first_three_images = index_img(five_mni_images,
...                                slice(0, 3))
>>> print(first_three_images.shape)
(197, 233, 189, 3)
