Re: [Freesurfer] Talairach_avi and eTIV, version 3.0.5 vs 4.0.5

2008-06-23 Thread Paul Greenberg
Hello All, We are interested in the ranges of eTIV values found by other Freesurfer users.  As noted below, one research group reports a mean ICV of about 1560 cc for adults ranging from 20-90 years old.  Our sample (n=40) including males and females (51 to 83 years old) has a mean eTIV of 1

Hi yes, the FS ICVs mostly seem to work :-) I still think one should watch out for outliers. We had a sample of 28 kids aged 8-13 yrs, and the ICVs were quite a bit off and useless for two of those, so I would check all carefully especially if you have a group that may have smaller than normal ad

Hi, for those interested: we have correlated FS's ICV estimates and estimates from a procedure developed by Anders Dale (a deformable template procedure, similar to the “Shrink Wrapping” procedure previously described by Dale and colleagues (Dale et al, 1999; Dale and Sereno, 1993)). Mean ICV from

Hi Paul, Just as an aside, once you have a talairach_with_skull.lta file (whether from v3 or v4), you can calculate eTIV as scale_factor/determinant(lta), where the scale_factor employed is 2150. Incidentally, using the -eTIV option of mri_label_volume, you can also specify other transforms (e.g.

Hello Freesurfers, I am interested in comparing eTIV calculated with version 3.0.5 to that calculated by version 4.0.5 (64 bit Cent OS).  In order to compare eTIV for a single brain estimated in version 3.0.5 to version 4.0.5, I copied a subject's previous freesurfer output (v3.0.5) into the
