[Freesurfer] Creating and using an atlas from scratch

2012-08-08 Thread Jeff Thompson
Hello, I'm trying to create a canine atlas to use in freesurfers recon-all pipeline. I want to be able to perform cortical thickness measurements. I have manually skull-stripped 10 beagle brains. I have used fsl's FLIRT and FNIRT to make an averaged image of these 10 brain images in nifti forma

Dear FreeSurfer Developers, Currently we are trying to analyze our functional data (optical imaging) using ROI’s that are defined on the basis of FreeSurfer Segmentation. In order to do this, we need a 3 dimensional mask in which a particular region as identified by FreeSurfer is used as a mask

I am 100% sure that the stimuli themselves are correct (clockwise and counterclockwise/ expanding and contracting). When I look at the individual angle values I noticed that the difference between the cw and ccw is on average equal to half a cycle (so pi). When I plot the results (using the re

Hi Jordan sorry, this one slipped through the cracks. There really is no way except visual inspection, and thalamus is particularly hard. You need to play with the brightness/contrast to really see the lateral borders, and even then it can be difficult depending on your acquisition. cheers B

[Freesurfer] Subcortical segmentations

2012-08-08 Thread Jordan Pierce
When using the norm.mgz, what is the best way to evaluate the accuracy of the thalamus labeling? If lateral thalamus has low contrast with WM, how can we tell where its borders should be? Or is it best to assume that the automatic segmentation has done sufficiently well?   Jordan Pierce The Uni
