[Freesurfer] create high resolution ribbon

2012-12-13 Thread Rouhollah Abdollahi
Dear Freesurfer experts, I tried to create high resolution ribbon from pial and white surfaces. Actually I found this question in mailing list but the answer was not clear. I have a register.dat file and white and pial surfaces. My aim is to create a high resolution ribbon from those by using r

Hi Rouhollah what resolution do you mean? You can use mris_fill to fill the interior of the white and pial surfaces at whatever resolution you want, then compute the AND of the two volumes in matlab, or perhaps using mri_mask or something similar. cheers Bruce On Thu, 13 Dec 2012, Rouhollah

Hi Patrice you can use mris_register with the -1 switch to indicate that the target is a single surface not a statistical atlas. You will however still have to create the various surface representations and geometric measures we expect (e.g. ?h.inflated, ?h.sulc, etc). If you can convert yo

Hello All, As recently as September we were downloading our fMRI scanning data from Bourget by setting the following freesurfer environment: source /usr/local/freesurfer/nmr-stable51-env and then unpacking and converting the data to Nifti format using the "unpacksdcmdir" commands: unpackscdcmdir -

[Freesurfer] what image should I finally work with?

2012-12-13 Thread Prasanna M
I ran Freesurfer on OASIS longitudinal data with the longitudinal pipeline. I want to work with the full brain image (with gray level intensities) which is intensity normalized and skull stripped and all the timepoints of a subject are rigidly registered to the 1st time point. There were many brain

Hi Prasanna, the norm.mgz sounds like the best fit. Though I'm not sure what you mean by all the images registered to the 1st time point. If you are doing a longitudinal analysis, then following the longitudinal stream will result in a set of norm.mgz's that will be in alignment (but not to the

[Freesurfer] Total brain tissue volume

2012-12-13 Thread Alexopoulos, Dimitrios
Hi FS users, We've generated surfaces using FS v4.4 and would like to determine total brain tissue volume for each of our cases. Would this correspond to the 'Brain Segmentation Volume' which is standard in the output aseg.stats file. How is the 'Brain Segmentation Volume' determined, and

Re: [Freesurfer] Total brain tissue volume

2012-12-13 Thread Douglas N Greve
Hi Jim, in 4.4, the Brain Segmentation Volume is basically just an adding up of the volumes in aseg.stats, but it includes ventricles, so you would need to subtract those out. Newer versions of FS have a BrainSegVolNotVent which is the volume of tissue. doug On 12/13/2012 12:32 PM, Alexopoulos

Doug, Thanks. When I add up all 49 fields in the aseg.stats I don't get the same number (actually larger) as the 'Brain Segmentation Volume'. v4.4/aseg.stas also includes a 'Brain Segmentation Volume Without Ventricles'. I presume we can use this, and subtract out the CSF for total brain tissue?

Hi Cedric, when you view it marsbar, are you viewing it on avg152T1.nii? Do avg152T1.nii and DLPFC.nii have the same geometry? To check, look at the qform matrix with: mri_info --vox2ras avg152T1.nii mri_info --vox2ras DLPFC.nii and make sure that they have the same number of rows, cols, slices
