DIVE is an interactive viewer for diffusion models.
To get good interactivity with the app, it is recommended to install it locally on your computer. You can do so from the [Git repo](https://git.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/neichert/DIVE)
If you don't want to install it locally, you can run the current working version online [here](https://dry-wildwood-41441.herokuapp.com/dive), but note that the interactivity may be slower.
The app allows you to visualise diffusion data predicted by user-defined microstructural models and interactively change the model parameters or data acquisition to visualise the effect that these have on the model predictions. The following features are available:
- user defined acquisition parameters
- multiple micro-structural compartments based on the standard model:
- Ball (Tensor with $\lambda_1=\lambda_2=\lambda_3$)
- Stick (Tensor with $\lambda_2=\lambda_3=0$)
- Zeppelin (Tensor with $\lambda_2=\lambda_3$)
- Tensor
- Cylinder (restricted diffusion)
- Sphere (restricted diffusion)
- dot (no diffusion)
- multiple compartments can be combined
- parameters of the models can be changed using interactive sliders
- A fibre orientation distribution function (ODF) can be defined for each combination of compartment
- including crossing fibres and dispersion
- user can add Gaussian/Rician noise to predicted signal
- data can be saved to file for further analysis
