6 directions will not be enough for a hardi/Qball reconstruction. There is something wrong with your selected gradient table. Which did you choose?

Hi Ruopeng:

These brains have been run on Tracula and they look good. As a post processing step, I wanted to look at the connectivity between the DACC and anterior insula using DTK and Trackvis. Here is what I did:

--------- Launching hardi_mat -----------------


Number of measurement points: 6

1. I used the Imaging model HARDI/Q-Ball since these were acquired using the HARDI method.

2. I clicked the 'reconstruction' button.

3.  Next I loaded the dwi.nii.gz

I clicked on the load TrackVIS option.

I did not fill in any other option.

It ran without problems. Here is the script:

However, when I looked at the generated tracks, they looked weirdly straight. I have a hunch that I am processing 'already processed' brains and hence this anomaly.


Please advice.


Thanks,


Alan

    Hi Alan,

    The tracks look weird. Why are they so straight?

    Hi Anastasia:

    It was great to meet you at the connectivity course at Martinos.
    I have been using Trackvis to examine the white matter tracks
    between the anterior insula and the Dorsal ACC. In line with your
    instruction

    , I created ROIS at each of these regions. However, the WM tracks
    generated do not appear to connect. I have attached a screenshot.

    What is the command that one would use to connect the ROIs?

    thanks so much,

    best regards,

    Alan
