External Email - Use Caution Thank you Douglas for this clarification. So, correction of inhomogeneities and intensity normalization would have no positive effect on the PET/MR coregistration ? Best, Matt > Le 3 janv. 2019 à 20:04, Greve, Douglas N.,Ph.D. a > écrit : > > I d

I doubt it would make much difference. If your PET has lots of extracerebral uptake, then I might use something that has not been skull stripped (eg, orig.mgz, T1.mgz, nu.mgz). If it does not  have much extracerebral, then using brain.mgz is probably better. On 12/31/18 10:53 AM, Bruce Fischl w

Hi Mike we expect the cortex to have the topology of a sheet, and pathologies that change that will cause unpredictable results. If you can segment the pathology you would typically want to fill it in in the wm.mgz. As for the deep segmentation, again it will be a case-by-case basis. The nonli

External Email - Use Caution I see... what does the fix topology step expect from the wm.mgz meaning how is it testing it and what are the values it would accept... for example if we were to script an auto fill step which calls a program which works on wm.mgz between steps what wou

I see. Getting FS working is going to be a case-by-case thing then. For holes extending into the ventricles you will probably need to fill the hole in the wm.mgz to make the topology closer to what we expect it to be. For the gliomas it depends on where they are cheers Bruce On Tue, 1 Jan 2019
