Hi Anastasia!
That makes sense, thank you! So the question is how do I evaluate the
noisiness of a path?
1) Most of my isosurfaces look a lot noisier than your example on the wiki.
There's obviously no hard and fast rule here but is there any way to gauge
the noisiness of a reconstructed pat
Hi,
Rerunning the tractography using reinit, is it an absolute requirement to
specify number of control points? It doesn't seem like I can just set
reinit = 1 and let the number of control points be the default.
Also, is there a trade-off in terms of number of control points? For
instance, when re
Hi Peggy - It's trying out all the paths from all the atlas subjects for
candidates to use to initialize the path in your subject. If it's having
such a hard time finding a good candidate, I suspect that something went
wrong earlier in the pre-processing, something like a serious registration
Hi,
I'm using freesurfer-Darwin-lion-stable-pub-v5.3.0 and the latest version
of tracula (downloaded Sept 2014). I was running 'trac-all -prior -c
mydmrircfile.txt' with reinit=1 on a few tracts that initially
reconstructed to look like single voxels. The log file indicated there was
difficulty co
Hi Lars - A path with fewer control points will generally be smoother. So
if the tract is pretty much a straight line, you might get a noisier
result if you increase the number of control points. But if the tract is
more convoluted than a straight line, then you need more control points to

Hi,
The various tracts have different default numbers of control points, with a
higher number for more curved paths. In a previous mail Dr. Yendiki
recommended changing the number of control points if several attempts
rerunning reinit don't produce a satisfactory result. Is it always better
to hav
