no, you shouldn't run 2 and 3. sulc and curv are *not* surface formats, so the code dies trying to read them as such On Fri, 13 Nov 2009, Guang Zeng wrote: > > Hello, Bruce, > > Thanks a lot for your help! > I ran 4 commands, and results are shown below: > > 1. >

Use mri_surf2vol to create volumes. You can binarize aparc+aseg.mgz to give a mask of an area (use --match), then take the intersection of the mask with the surface-in-volume. doug Martin Ystad wrote: > Hi, > I'm working on a fractal dimension analysis of the pial- and > white-matter surface.

Hi Bruce, in general, the vents look good. So, just one more question, if I may. I notice that the segmentation labels have ventricles and choroid-plexus. So, in the wmparc.stats, and aseg.stats, does the volume of the left lateral ventricle include the left choroid plexus, or should I add both

Hi Matt, are the ventricles labeled properly in the aseg? If so, then you probably don't need to do anything. If not, then you'll need to manually edit them, and run from there forward (-make all should do it). cheers, Bruce On Fri, 13 Nov 2009, Matt Clarkson wrote: > Hi Bruce, > > Thanks. So

Hi Bruce, Thanks. So it sounds like FreeSurfer 4.5 should now be adequately filling ventricles in the general case, and that -bigventricles offers didn't reach a level of robustness you were happy with, so best to avoid that? What about the flag -fillven on mri_edit_wm_with_aseg? Any use? In t

Hi, I'm working on a fractal dimension analysis of the pial- and white-matter surface. The matlab script that calculates the fractal dimension needs binary nifti-files as input. Since FreeSurfer creates the surfaces I need, here's what I want to do: I'd like to convert the pial and white-matter

Hi Bruce, I agree with your point, however this method was instigated by a previous person at our institution, so I'm looking at it afresh. Also, the addition of regions 4, 43, 5 and 44 does do "something". I agree though that when I look at wm.mgz using tkmedit on a vanilla FreeSurfer run, it

Hi Matt, the -bigventricles stuff is something I messed with for a while, but didn't get to work robustly and haven't gotten back to it. I'm not sure I understand your fix though. If the aseg properly labels the ventricles, then they should be filled in the wm.mgz, and if the aseg doesn't, then

Re: [Freesurfer] nu_correct problem.

2009-11-13 Thread Bruce Fischl
Hi Reddy, the nu isn't smoothing them, it's what we call the "conform" process - interpolating to 1mm isotropic. Your voxels are 1.25x1.25x1.2, which is almost 90% larger than 1mm iso, so when we upsample them there is a bunch of interpolation. cheers Bruce On Fri, 13 Nov 2009, Mr k hanimire

Hi Guang, it still needs the ?h.sphere files as those are used to establish the spherical coordinate system. cheers, Bruce On Thu, 12 Nov 2009, Guang Zeng wrote: > > Hi, there, > > I am going to make our own template. Based on the introduction in FreeSurfer > WIKI "The Surface Registration Pro
