[Freesurfer] intensity normalization failure

2005-09-14 Thread Tracy Wang
Hi What is a typical example of when the intensity normalization process fails? Does the over-all image seem brighter? What is a good indicator of success or failure? Thanks, Tracy Tracy Wang Research Assistant Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory Washington University Department of Psycholo

if it succeeds then the intensity in the wm should be exactly 110 over much of the brain, and 90 Bruce On Wed, 14 Sep 2005, Tracy Wang wrote: Hi What is a typical example of when the intensity normalization process fails? Does the over-all image seem brighter? What is a good indicator of

Just a cuoriosity: which kind of volumes are you using? I had lots of troubles with 3T SPGRs and saw the center of the images just brighter. francesca _ From: Tracy Wang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 9/14/2005 1:23 PM To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Subject: [Freesurfer] intensit

I'm using 1.5T MPRAGEs. and the skull stripped T1 overall looks very bright. However the intensity for WM is between 90 and 120. Tracy On Sep 14, 2005, at 12:40 PM, Bagnato, Francesca (NIH/NINDS) wrote: Just a cuoriosity: which kind of volumes are you using? I had lots of troubles with 3T SPG

Is it possible to obtain and intensity histogram of the wm voxels, or descriptive stats (eg., Mean, SD) as a quick check? -Original Message- From: Bruce Fischl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 3:33 AM To: Tracy Wang Cc: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Subject:

should be easy enough to do in matlab. Just load the wm volume, then find all the T1 voxels that are nonzero in it. Bruce On Thu, 15 Sep 2005, Fornito, Alexander wrote: Is it possible to obtain and intensity histogram of the wm voxels, or descriptive stats (eg., Mean, SD) as a quick check?

You should be able to use mri_segstats somehow. You'll need a segmentation, though. You could tell it to report on the aseg wm values. You could also use the fill volume (127 and 255?). Check out the --help doug On Wed, 14 Sep 2005, Bruce Fischl wrote: should be easy enough to do in matlab. J
