[Freesurfer] Scale Factor Question

2015-03-17 Thread Colleen Takahashi
Hi FreeSurfer Experts, I am trying to use mri_label_volume to correct for head size differences in volumetric outputs. I know that this command needs a scale factor. Where do I find this scale factor? Is this scale factor different for each participant? I read through the eTIV wiki information

Hi Mike, I think that's still correct, but it's been a long time since I messed with it. Bruce On Tue, 13 Apr 2010, Michael Waskom wrote: > Hi Bruce, > > I found some comments from your deep in the archive on converting > distance measured on the sphere to distance on the folded surface: > http

Hi Bruce, I found some comments from your deep in the archive on converting distance measured on the sphere to distance on the folded surface: http://www.mail-archive.com/freesur...@surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg00251.html Is this still the case? And, will loading the ?h.area file in matlab and

Dear Doug and Nick, In my matlab code when I sum the area stored in ?h.white.avg.area.mgh I obtain an area of 82219 mm. Are these area values affected by the problem explained in http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/GroupAverageSurface? Have I to multiply the values for 1.2? Nick, thank you fo

Rafa, Not sure if this will help, but Bruce recently created a utility to generate a parcellation based on which icosahedral face each vertex maps to. Its called mris_make_face_parcellation, and you can get it here: ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/ ex.: cd /surf mr

The value at each vertex of ?h.white.avg.area.mgh is the average area at that vertex averaged over all the input subjects. Note that the area of a vertex in the average subject will likely be much less and is not particularly meaningful. I'm not sure if this answers your question or not.. doug

Dear FS team, I'm writing matlab code to obtain smaller parcellated regions of equal size starting from the freesurfer parcellation performed on the average subject. Should I apply a scale factor If I wanted to use the areas stored in ?h.white.avg.area.mgh for the new parcellation? My Freesurfer r

Cindy, the brains are not stretched in any way. All computations are done in native anatomical space. The talairach reg is only there for reporting purposes (or to create average subjects). doug Cindy Eckart wrote: Dear freesurfers, I am new in the list and will start with a hopefully not to

Hi Cindy, the values in the various stats files are always in the subject's native space. You may want to include eTIV as a regressor in your modeling, but we don't do normalization by default. cheers, Bruce On Tue, 10 Feb 2009, Cindy Eckart wrote: Dear freesurfers, I am new in the list

Dear freesurfers, I am new in the list and will start with a hopefully not too stupid question... besides a planned cortical thickness analysis I would like to compare the volumes for some cortical parcellation areas between three groups. As far as I understood the freesurfer-procedures the bra
