[Freesurfer] GM calculation?

2009-01-12 Thread Anthony
Hi all, I'm doing some analyses which involve GM volume . It might sound trivial but I wonder how could GM calculation be done in freesurfer? Is there a way to compute it based on GM between white and pial surfaces, and will the result of that approach be different from using what is given by a

Hi Anderson, at the moment we don't do any GPU programming, but are actively looking into it and may have something in the not-too-distant future, so I think you are ok with no graphics card from our perspective. We do use some of the computational routines in vtk though, so you'll need that e

Anderson, The freesurfer processing stream (aka, 'recon-all') does not use a graphics card for processing (yet, we hope to implement some GPU stuff someday), so your cluster doesnt need any graphics cards, other than those for actual display usage (tksurfer, tkmedit, etc.). Nick On Mon, 2009-01

Dear all, We are considering to buy a blade system, and FreeSurfer would be one of the applications to run on it. We know that a 3D graphics card, with support for OpenGL and built-in memory+GPU, is recommended. What we are not sure is whether it is mandatory for all the FreeSurfer routines, of if

Hi Martin, for the MS study we were *very* careful to make sure that the white matter in the regions of detected effect was normal appearing, so I don't think it explains the thinning we saw. As for the effect you are seeing, you'll need to look through your individual subjects to see if this

Hi, For my group analysis I am thinking of reusing a specific set of cortical ROIs from already published data. I suppose that a target template (fsaverage) and ROIs itself should be sufficient to have. If I use the same fsaverage for my cohort, I should be able to get the data out of the ROIs
