[Freesurfer] Qdec Cluster Size

2009-01-13 Thread nels5614
Hello, I am wondering if there is an easy way to determine the size of a cluster of significant voxels resulting from a QDEC analysis? I have created a label and mapped the label to all of the subjects, but didn't know if there was a way to extract information about cluster size. Thanks, Mi

Hi, I'm running Qdec to gather cortical thickness in specific regions based on the scalar visuals. when I've drawn ROIs over certain areas, I've found "Mapping labels to subjects" would return an error message for certain subjects. There error is as follows: ERROR: srcvtxno = -1 < 0 trgvtxno = 11

Hello, Freesurfer group, Could you tell me the default size of smoothing extents (kernel?) of smooth1 and smooth2 in the auto-recon-all? How can I change the size with mris_smooth in the auto-recon-all flow? And why does the smoothing not affect the thickness measure? Thank you in advance, X

Hi everybody, We have a set of patients who were all run using the same freesurfer version, except that some of the patients had their dicom files converted to 001.mgz with a somewhat older version of freesurfer. For example some of them went through that step with version 4.0 or 4.0.2 or 4.0

Kelly, The aseg looks good to me (as far as just those two slices go - of course you would need to check every slice). I'm not sure I understand your question about separating them. As far as FreeSurfer's goal, this looks like a good result. Allison -- On Tue, 13 Jan 2009, Kelly Silva wrote:

Hi Adrian, you can always do: recon-all -s adrian -make all and it will redo the steps that it needs. If the bug doesn't replicate it's tough to fix, and could be a real bug or some other issue (bad memory chip, full disk, etc...). cheers, Bruce On Tue, 13 Jan 2009, Adrian Williams wrote:
