External Email - Use Caution Thank you, Douglas! Is it possible to extract the number of voxels in each segment [of the FreeSurfer DK atlas]? We are hoping to ‘reverse’ the spatial averaging process to get the sum of expression level in each ROI.

We ran the following for one of our subjects: mri_gtmpvc --i sz013_BPnd.nii --reg sz013_BPnd.reg.lta --seg ~/sz013/mri/gtmseg.mgz --default-seg-merge --no-tfe --no-rescale --o ~/sz013/gtmpvc.output Thanks, ZZ On Apr 24, 2022, 13:45 -0700, Zhener Zhang <zhe...@stanford.edu>, wrote: Hi Douglas, Thank you for the reply! The mri_gtmpvc outputs were expected and there was no reason for us to suspect that something was wrong. I was just curious as to the general process behind PETSurfer’s ROI-wise value calculation. Was each ROI-wise output generated by averaging across all voxels of an ROI? Thanks!

We ran the PETSurfer pipeline with PVC=0 and noticed that a relatively small ROI like Putamen has one of the highest values of regional distribution of a PET tracer. Is it the case that the PETSurfer ROI-wise value outputs were averaged, or normalized by each ROI’s volume? And what measure was divided, GM volume, number of voxels, or something else? Thank you in advance! Best regards, Zhener
