Re: [Freesurfer] merging average cortical thickness data

2010-12-23 Thread Michael Harms
Creating a custom label and then using mris_anatomical_stats is probably the route I would go as well. But out of curiosity, if I was combining whole labels (and not splitting or subdividing any of them) I'd also compute an "average" thickness weighted by the mid-thickness surface area -- the two

[Freesurfer] Extract Hippocampal volume after manual editing?

Hi, I have ran recon-all and got the Hippocampal volumes I desire from the aseg.stats file. However, I have manually refined some of the volumes using the tkmedit segmentation tool brushes and I now need to extract the revised volume estimates. I believe I can run 'mri_segstats' to obtain the

weighting by surface area just let's you calculate the overall mean. Maybe an easier way to do this is to draw the exact region you want on fsaverage and use mri_label2label to map it to each of your subjects. cheers Bruce On Thu, 23 Dec 2010, j janssen wrote: Hi Tina, (e.g. to compute a

Hi John, mri_segstats is the right thing to do. It doesn't rerun the segmentation, but if you rerun the command you find can in the scripts/recon-all.log file it will do things like correct for partial volume effects, which is a big deal in the hippocampus. cheers Bruce On Thu, 23 Dec 2010, M

[Freesurfer] Can I mix different versions of freesurfer

2010-12-23 Thread rong chen
Hi, I want to use FreeSurfer to analyze a longitudinal study. For each subject in my study, I already used FreeSurfer 4.2 to perform the cross-sectional analysis. However, FreeSurfer 4.2 did not have a longitudinal pipeline. Therefore, I want to use FreeSurfer 4.5 for this purpose. My question is:

So I hit a snag... I can extract the ROIs that I want and combine them into a single binary mask( allWM.mgz ). I can then run mri_mc on that mask like this. mri_mc allWM.mgz 1 AllWhite this generates a surface lh.AllWhite which i then move to the subjects surf directory. I can view the surface

Dear all, Thank you very much for all of the comments. I do agree with creating a custom label, but for now I only have access to the parcellated products. I just wanted to reduce my data's dimensionality, because of the limitations imposed by the brain network analysis technique. Best,

Hi Luke surf2surf using sphere.reg uses the surface based registration isn't what you want. CVS should work, but I'm not sure Lilla has written anything to apply is to a surface. You could apply it to your volume mask then tessellate that I guess Bruce On Dec 23, 2010, at 10:13 AM, Luke Bloy

[Freesurfer] converting cortical thickness maps to NIFTI files

Hello, I'm interested in converting my cortical thickness maps to NIFTI files. Can you give me more information about how to do so? Also, is it possible to analyze freesurfer cortical thickness maps in AFNI (this is why I'm asking the question re conversion to NIFTI)? It seems as though my mod

Rong, You should wait until 5.1 comes out and use that to rerun your cross-sectionals (which will have to be rerun to match a newer version) and use that longitudinal stream which will be the most reliable. Allison On Thu, 23 Dec 2010, rong chen wrote: > Hi, > I want to use FreeSurfer to analyz
