thank you!
One last question hopefully on this matter. I dont fully understand still why
the percentile flag would affect the subcortical regions? the bias field was
only in the front and back of the brain.
Thanks,
Miriam

Hi again,
I have a few questions regarding this.
indeed it does appear that there is a bias field in all of these scans, but
this is not specific to those that fail sclimbic.
1. why do you think it is consistently only the left side that fails? My
question here is if whether it is mainly the left due to the way sclimbic does
its magic or if this might be due to the actual data (i,e smaller left volumes
might have an impact).
I have no idea. That's the problem with the machine learning stuff, it just
gives you an answer without a reason.
2. I would really appreciate if someone could explain what --percentile 99.9 is
doing a bit more as my results differ a lot depending if this flag is used or
not.
Im asking because Im not sure what is the best input to use for sclimbic
anymore....
The --percentile 99.9 tells it to sort all the voxels by intensity. One of
those voxels will rank the 99.9% in intensity. All voxels that are brighter
than this intensity are then set to this intensity ("clipping"). This
represents more closely how ScLimbic was trained. I will make --percentile 99.9
the default on the next release.
I decided to look at differences(correlation) of volume (.stats) between
sclimbic or sclimbic with --percentile 99.9 ran on T1s or on recon all results
(I wanted to make confirm the results using recon all subj vs t1s with the
percentile flag are similar given that recon all does correct for bias field).
below are the correlation and means. this was on subsample (n=180) and I only
looked at one ROI.
left BF right BF
sclimbic x sclimbic99 0.48 0.62
sclimbic x recon99 0.30 0.55
sclimbic x recon 0.30 0.55
recon99 x recon 0.99 0.99
recon99 x sclimbic99 0.91 0.95
recon x sclimbic99 0.92 0.95
avg left BF avg BF mean
sclimbic 198.77 253.96
sclimbic99 297.99 328.93
recon 312.12 340.44
recon99 315.80 343.92
(recon = sclimbic ran on recon all outputs; recon99 = sclimbic --percentile 99
ran on recon outputs; sclimbic=ran sclimbic on t1s; sclimbic99=with flag ran on
t1s)
3.so the most important question is what would you judge to provide the "most
accurate" result to be used in subsequent group analysis. recon99, recon,
sclimbic, or sclimbic99.
This confirms my suspicions above (ie, the training). The "recon" method will
most closely track the training (and the results from the paper).
Thank you very much!
Miriam

but this(bright at back and nose) also seems to be the case with participants
that sclimbic did work on..

There was something a little strange about the cases that were failing -- there
were very bright values at the back of the head and around the nose. This
probably messes up the normalization in the unet. I ran it with --percentile
99.9 (this eliminates the extreme voxels) and the results looked ok after that.

They’re T1w scans 1x1x1mm3

Have you looked at the input volume to see if there is anything strange about
them? What kind of scans are you passing to it? What is the resolution?

Hello,
I noticed 20 out of ~240 subjects left basal forebrain volumes were not picked
up after running ScLimbic. These are healthy adults and their scans look good.
Also, I noticed often when this occurs NAcc is also 0 or other regions.
I am concerned if there is a systematic issue with left volumes ending up
smaller than they should relative to right.
Thanks,
Miriam
