Re: [Freesurfer] Converting single voxel to surface space

Hi, I didn't generated the surface myself (a technician in my lab did), but I imagine it entailed the same process as for a subject, just using the MNI152 brain instead of a single individual's anatomical image. I'm hoping to find the location on this surface of several peak coordinates from pas

Hi Ben, I'm still confused. How do you get a surface from an MNI average? Or is it from the colin dataset? Can you tell us a bit more about what you are trying to do so we can see if we can help? cheers, Bruce On Tue, 8 Sep 2009 benjamin.d...@yale.edu wrote: > > Hi, > > The surface isn't from

Hi, The surface isn't from an individual subject, but generated from MNI space itself. What exactly do you mean by sample it onto the surface? I could make an image file with value one at the coordinate of interest and zero elsewhere, and then overlay it on surface space and see where it lies,

Hi all, When I use tkmedit and tksurfer to view the volume or surface, the image display window just fleets once. I click the tag and it doesn't show up either. What's more, the menus of tkmedit don't response when I click them, besides the menu of "Edit". I just use the test command

Hi Ben, any given MNI coordinate may or may not be on the surface of a subject. You can convert it to individual subject space then sample it onto the surface. cheers, Bruce On Tue, 8 Sep 2009 benjamin.d...@yale.edu wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm wondering how to convert a single voxel coordinate in 2

Hi, I'm wondering how to convert a single voxel coordinate in 2mm MNI152 space to a location on a cortical surface representation of MNI space generated by Freesurfer. My broader goal is to present a set of coordinates collected for a meta-analysis on surface space. Thanks, Ben Deen Department

Hi, Bruce. Thanks for your reply - it appears that this has happened before (though I'm not exactly certain how often) and we suspect it could happen again in the future. You mentioned editing the aseg.mgz - would you point us to the place on the Wiki page that details how this is done and als

2009-09-08 Thread Bruce Fischl
yes, you are *not* drawing the boundary. You are setting control points inside the wm in regions in which the white matter signal intensity in the normalized image (e.g. brain.mgz) is too low, meaning significantly lower than 110 On Tue, 8 Sep 2009, Nick Schmansky wrote: > Ritobrato, > > The us

Ritobrato, The user doesnt have explicit control over where the surface boundaries are drawn. Rather, you just have to be very careful not to put a control point in grey matter, or any thing partial-volumed. I can't quite tell from the resolution of the image you posted, but it appears some of t

Ritobrato, The control points mark voxels as belonging to white matter, and should be marked sparingly. They are not points on a spline, as it appears you were trying to do in the image. Nick On Tue, 2009-09-08 at 13:39 -0400, Bruce Fischl wrote: > Hi Ri, > > you have to be careful to only put

How much memory does your system have? Someone recently had this same repeatable problem, and after they upgraded their system from 2GB to 4GB, the problem disappeared. We now recommend systems have at least 4GB of memory. Also, it helps to include the recon-all.log file for the subject, to help

Hi Ri, you have to be careful to only put the control points in voxels that are completely white matter (no partial voluming). I also don't know what you mean by "the control points didnt get converted to a continuous line". Can you elaborate? cheers, Bruce On Tue, 8 Sep 2009, Ritobrato Datta
