Great, thanks! BTW, Doug, your primer on the hell of transformation matrices is very nice. On 2 May 2013, at 18:19, Douglas N Greve wrote: > > Funny you should mention that. Martin just wrote a program to convert lta's > from one type to another. Martin, can you share with Fred? > doug > >

Funny you should mention that. Martin just wrote a program to convert lta's from one type to another. Martin, can you share with Fred? doug On 05/02/2013 01:13 PM, Fred Dick wrote: > Yes - maybe it is an idiotic one, but is there a straightforward way to write > out a tkregister-tweaked talaiar

Yes - maybe it is an idiotic one, but is there a straightforward way to write out a tkregister-tweaked talaiarch.lta with the correct geometry so that mri_ca_normalize/register will read it right? On 2 May 2013, at 18:04, Douglas N Greve wrote: > Hi Fred, so do you still have an outstanding

Hi Doug totally no worries (this hardly counts as a delay!). I'm running it as tkregister2 --ltaout tal-out.lta --gca [sub] --check-reg As you had suggested, the source and dst are switched (in talaiarch.lta, the .gca is the dst, whereas in new output file, it's the src). Also, the RB...gca

Hi Fred, sorry for the delay. How are you running tkregister2 to produce a new lta? Is the only difference between the lta files the matrix? Or did the src and dst geometry and/or type change? doug On 05/02/2013 05:52 AM, Fred Dick wrote: > Hi Doug > > sorry to nudge - any thoughts on lta twea

Hi Fred I know it's a silly question but are you sure that file exists and is readable by you? The fact that it's calling GCAread means it's doing the right thing and support gca files. You can also extra the mean of the highest prob label (-nth 0) and the label itself (-nth 1) using mri_conve

Hi again different weighting sorta kinda worked better. It might be a dud brain. But on this topic - I realized I wasn't quite sure of a couple of things, and had some errors pop up with some tkregister2 options. [btw, running stable 5.2.0 on snow leopard] 1) I first tried to check the reg t

yes, the -w will create an optimal weighting to maximize gray/white contrast. The image it generates won't in general be physically realizable in an real MR acquisition. Not surprising that the tal stuff fails On Mon, 29 Apr 2013, Fred Dick wrote: > Hi Bruce > > I'm using TR=20, flip=30, TE=5 -

Hi Bruce I'm using TR=20, flip=30, TE=5 - but possibly irrelevant as also have the -w flag on. I originally thought this was from a bad brainmask, but then generated a good one and same thing happening. On 29 Apr 2013, at 14:27, Bruce Fischl wrote: > Hi Fred > > we don't have much exper

Dear all I'm having difficulties getting correct Talairach.lta's from synthetic flash volumes (Bruce, you are probably sorry you ever told me about this!). Basically the brain is over-scaled (bigger than it should be), which I think is happening because the contrast is so good (gm much darker

Hi Fred we don't have much experience with this. Which synthesis are you using? You might need to use a different one for the talairaching to more closely match the atlas (maybe a TR=20,TE=2.5,flip=20-30 one) On Mon, 29 Apr 2013, Fred Dick wrote: > Dear all > > I'm having difficulties getting
