Hi, I think that I know what you mean. So, if I want to get the result with A > B > C, I should get A > B and B > C, respectively. And then, to combine these two results. Would you tell me detail with step by step and what command I should type and how to type ? Or, have some reference to fol

Hi Gregory, it's hard to tell accuracy looking at one slice, but that one looks fine. Note that we do not generally use the cortical segmentation in the aseg - for that we use the surfaces. So if you want to assess accuracy you should overlay the ?h.white and ?h.pial surfaces and see if cortic

it means that an autorecon? was started for that subject and never finished. You should be able to do recon-all -make all -s and it will redo what it needs to On Thu, 9 Jul 2009, Kirk Gregory R. wrote: hi q. from a collaborator, someone got a comment for 1 subject the # of vertices of sph

Hi Barnali, what do you mean you "don't get to see the pial surface"? If you type: tksurfer lh pial does it not show the pial? If it finished autorecon3 it should have a pial surface for both hemis. cheers Bruce On Thu, 9 Jul 2009, Barnali Basu wrote: Experts, I have successfully ru

Experts, I have successfully run recon-all (all the 3 processes autorecon1,2 and 3) on a subject. When I see the surfaces on tksurfer, I dont get to see the pial surface. I gather I could construct Pial surface by running autorecon2-pial. Would this affect in any way, since I have already finish

[Freesurfer] Surface based volumetry vs Voxel based morphometry

It's more a methodological question, and I have asked this before, but I think it could be better discussed in the FreeSurfer community. Several times people ask me what's the advantage of Surface based methods like the ones used in FreeSurfer over VBM in estimating volumetric parameters of subcor

Experts, I have been working on Freesurfer last 5 months and initially the recon processes were within normal time limits. However, I am working on a different set of subjects now and its consuming days together. For my current data,autorecon1 is fine, it stops at a particular point in autorecon2

Hi PPJ we don't use surface-based stuff for subcortical structures, although at some point we probably will. In general the surfaces are more accurate cortically as they let you do subvoxel positioning. I think the advantage for subcortical structures is that we have strong priors on both the

So the topology fix, spherical registration, etc. help the positioning for the random markov field algorithm? And in the VBM we don't have this aid. Is that correct? 2009/7/9, Bruce Fischl : > Hi PPJ > > we don't use surface-based stuff for subcortical structures, although at > some point we pro
