[Freesurfer] set up of initial data directories

2008-07-30 Thread Stephen Rose
Hi I am a new freesurfer user so I apologize in advance for the basic questions. If I already have my MPRAGE images in mgz format (i.e I don't need to convert the raw dicom data with mri_convert), what changes to the command line (below) do I need so that the all the correct data directories

HI Stephen, not quite raw image space, but mostly. Definitely not tal coords. We resample into a 256^3 volume aligned with the native scanner coords. cheers, Bruce On Wed, 30 Jul 2008, Stephen Rose wrote: Hi I am a new freesurfer user so I apologize in advance for the basic questions. If

Hi Stephen, To follow up, your command line should work just fine, and will set up the directories you need. Jenni On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 6:56 AM, Bruce Fischl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > HI Stephen, > > not quite raw image space, but mostly. Definitely not tal coords. We > resample into a 256

[Freesurfer] again: qdec error

2008-07-30 Thread Dorit Kliemann
Dear all, I wanted to open qdec for the first time and experienced an error that was posted some days ago... ( RE: [Freesurfer] qdec ERROR: Rendering vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow ; Juranek, Jenifer ) " ERROR: In /usr/pubsw/packages/vtk/5.0.4/src/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 219 vtkX

Dorit, Which OS are you using? How is the X-server configured? The solution to the problem posted by Jenifer (the error message 'Could not find a decent visual') was to change the color depth from the 16bits to 24bits in the /etc/xorg.conf file. What error message is issued when it can't read

[Freesurfer] mri_watershed regions appearing round edge, freesurfer 4.0.2

2008-07-30 Thread Ian Malone
Hi, Has anyone encountered this before? I have a few volumes for which mri_watershed output volumes are fine apart from some non-zero voxels near the edges (which are not connected to the brain). The volumes are in transverse format and the most noticeable effect is some inferior slices (ne

2008-07-30 Thread Bruce Fischl
Hi Ian, mri_watershed minimizes a risk functional in which we weigh the cost of leaving non-brain voxels to be much less than stripping true brain ones, so it does sometimes leave stuff around. Is this causing any problems? Bruce On Wed, 30 Jul 2008, Ian Malone wrote: Hi, Has anyone enco

Do the vertex numbers mean anything significant or can they be any number? Also, it appears that there are two different sets of vertices in an mris_convert asc file of ?h.inflated. What are these vertices and what do they mean? ___ Freesurfer mailing l

Hi Aaron, no, they don't really mean anything. They are a side effect of a number of algorithms (tesselation and topology correction). The .asc lists all the vertices, then all the faces: int MRISwriteAscii(MRI_SURFACE *mris, char *fname) { int vno, fno, n ; VERTEX *v ; FACE*fa
