Hi Sourav

that won't work - particularly if you are trying to crop in the a/s dimension. Many brains might squeeze into 160 l/r but probably not all, and certainly not with skull. And there won't be any consistent starting coord as it will depend on where the head is in the FOV. The only way for it to definitely work would be to downsample one dimension to 256/160=1.6mm. If you skull strip you could get away with something higher res. Or use fewer than 70 images.

Hello Bruce,

Definitely, I am constructing atlases with these images. Based on the number
of available and functioning GPUs in our cluster, I am seemingly able to
construct atlases of ~70 images with each image size being 256x256x160 and
not of image size 256x256x256. Therefore, I am reslicing and I have not done
this before. Please guide me to determine the starting coordinates for
extraction. Thank you.

Regards,

Sourav

Hi Sourav

Can you explain why you are reslicing?
Cheers

      Thank you, again, Bruce.

      How do I determine the starting coordinates for extraction, so I
      do not cutoff relevant info?

      Hi Sourav

      mri_extract
      usage: mri_extract <src_dir> x0 y0 z0 dx dy dz <dst_dir>

      (x0, y0, z0) is the starting coordinate of the rectangle to
      extract *not*
      the size. (dx, dy, dz) is the size. Yours should be something
      like:

      mri_extract input.mgz 0 0 0 256 256 160 output.mgz


      or maybe you don't want to start at 0, but further into the
      volume.

      Also, definitely do NOT use .img at any point as you will lose
      direction
      cosine info

      cheers
      Bruce

            Hello Bruce,


            Thank you for the prompt reply.


            Although, mri_extract is creating new files but it
            is giving me the following error- MRIextractInto:
            bad src location (256, 256, 160). Also, ITK-SNAP
            cannot read the new image file.


            Here is what I am doing:

            1. Converting from .mgz to .img

            mri_convert brainmask.mgz brainmask.img --conform
            --out_data_type float

            2. Reducing size of image

            mri_extract brainmask.img 256 256 160 1 1 1
            new_brainmask.img


            I would like the new images to be 256x256x160 and
            voxel size to be 1x1x1. Am I not using mri_extract
            correctly?


            Thank you.


            Regards,


            Sourav

            mri_extract should do the trick

                  Dear Freesurfer community,

                  Please let me know of an elegant way to
                  reduce image size from 256x256x256

                  to 256x256x160 and keeping the voxel
                  size the same. The images are currently

                  in analyze format but I have access to
                  mri_convert and ImageConvert.


                  Thank you.
