pydeface (Gulban et al., n.d.) was initially released in 2017 and has become popular among the python neuroimaging community. Like mri_deface, it includes its own pre-defined mask of face voxels which are located on the input image using linear registration (FSL’s linear registration tool (FLIRT) (Jenkinson et al., 2002)) and removed (set to zero). We used the un-named version automatically installed through the python package manager (pip) on December 6, 2019, with default settings (only image input/output name were specified). Its documentation does not specify what types of MRI are supported.
