Hi James

the recon looks pretty accurate to me. One thing you might try is acquiring a 1mm isotropic T2-space FLAIR in addition to the structural (if there is the equivalent sequence on GE). It allows us to distinguish between dura and gray matter, which can look identical on a T1.

cheers

Sorry about that, mailing list cc?d. Reply vs reply all?

Stuff attached, but also uploaded. (message bounced)

 

The colorscale.tiff is an example of the strange color scale abnormality, and 
the colorscaleabnormality.png shows the settings
to get a similar one.

 

The PPTX shows the results ? better.

 

The vertex-for-examination.png shows a vertex location that I have questions 
about ? in the BrainSuite image this vertex is
apparently normal, and in FreeSurfer results it?s low.

 

With regards to the original question:  ?still some abnormalities, but the 
head-coil difference appeared to have played a large
role in the lack of signal in the group comparison.

 

Thanks,

JP

Good. Send a tif with your threshold and max (and cc the list)

      It was the head coil!

      There are still some differences, but I need to control variables better 
before I come to you with that.

       

      One last thing: Can you tell me why the color scales are strange looking 
when I choose

      Blue-red? This isn?t the complex setting?.am I missing a library file or 
something?

Hi James

Just click on it in tksurfer and it will show the vertex number

      <image002.png>Bruce, I?m not sure how to get a vertex location out, but 
left hemisphere, and in the area

      Hi James

       

      can you give me a vertex location and hemisphere where you expect to see 
an effect in FS, but don't?

       

      thanks

      Bruce
