External Email - Use Caution
Dear FreeSurfer Experts,
We are trying to compare the early onset hemisphere vs Late onset hemisphere of
PD patients.
I am trying to use Xhemi in order to reorganize all early onset hemisphere to
the left hemisphere and the late onset to the right hemisphere.
I am following the Xhemi wiki tutorial as well as the freesurfer archives
messages between Doug and Paula with Subject: [Filipping issue] from 2014.
I saw that Doug had told Paula to run mris_preproc twice, first do the left
normally
>>> mris_preproc --hemi lh --meas thickness --surfreg
>>> fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg --s subject1 --s subject2 --o
>> subjects.lh.sm00.mgh
and then run the right hemisphere subjects with --s subject/xhemi in the
command line.
>>> mris_preproc --hemi lh --meas thickness --surfreg
>>> fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg --s subject3/xhemi --s subject4/xhemi --o
>>> subjects.rh.sm00.mgh
Then use mri_concat to fuse the two outputs together.
1) My question for this is how do you then compare to the right hemisphere?
From the wiki, you need the --xhemi and --paired-diff in the command line to do
a cross hemisphere comparison.
the above is great to compare to healthy control, but how do I adapt that to do
a cross hemisphere comparison.
Not sure what you mean. If you ran mri_concat with --paired-diff, then you
would have a stack of cross-hemi differnce maps, then you would just use the
standard group analysis to compare healthy vs patient or look at age effect,
etc.
2) The question I have is how to do a longitudinal comparison between Left and
right hemispheres with the xhemi data. Would it be possible to use xhemi
together with Mass-Univariate LME?
If not, do I need to use Xhemi to generate thickness and volume data? Can't I
just use the regular stat data from the regular reconstruction?
In principle you could use LME. You would just feed it the stack of thickness
or volume differences.
Sincerely,
Xiaoyu Wang
