Re: [Freesurfer] AD cortical thickness signature

Dear Doug ,, thanks for your suggestion .. I have more questions. 1. If then, I can get merged label using mir_mergelabels, As it is ' . label file', so I should run mris_label2annot and mis_anatomical_stats ? 2. is it possible to get the merged value of rh & lh ? Regards, Hyon-Ah ..

Thanks for that Doug, [I was hoping i could do the parametric modulation in the contrast weights -- SPM style of doing this after the betas were fit]. Regarding the X.mat question, sorry I wasn't clear. I can see it has the nuisance regressors and constant terms, but is that x.mat used to

Re: [Freesurfer] Mean diffusivity on cortex?

Okay I understand. So  I ideally would like to do the PetSurfer before actually working on the BPND but I already got them in the BPND format as well as the raw dynamic images. I tried to obtain the BPND data out from PetSurfer myself, but then I realise I don't any time.dat with me.mri_glmfit

Re: [Freesurfer] Antwort: Re: use manually defined talairach.xfm

That is the automatic failure detection for the talairach registration that is throwing the error. This checks the reg matrix against a sample of normal data. If the subject is in at a funny angle, then this can fail even if the registration is ok. You can just turn it off with -no-talcheck

Re: [Freesurfer] AD cortical thickness signature

not that I know of. You can merge the desired labels into one (mri_merge_labels) and then compute the mean in the merged label On 08/15/2017 11:56 PM, Yi, Hyon-Ah wrote: > Dear FS experts > > > I’m wondering whether there are ways of getting the single value of ROIs. > > I mean to get the value

That means that the surfaces are out of sync. the -make-all only works in certain circumstances. You can delete everything in the surf folder (it should all be recreated anyway with -autorecon2-cp) On 08/15/2017 10:04 PM, Bronwyn Overs wrote: > Dear mailing list, > > I am trying to batch a

Re: [Freesurfer] Matrix ill-conditioned error for dods thickness mri_glmfit analysis

posting the response to the list: The problem is that femalezero and femaletwo only have 4 and 3 subjects, respectively. As you are trying to estimate 4 slopes + an intercept, you will need at least 5 subjects per group. doug On 08/16/2017 03:27 PM, Sullivan, Danielle Renee wrote: > > Hi

[Freesurfer] Segmentation of WM hypointensities

Hello, The Freesurfer segmentation for hypointensities is very good, but misses on some subjects, i.e. it does not include large chunks of hypointense regions in some subjects. It does fantastic picking up the periventricular hypointensities, but appears to fail on some deep WM regions. I just

Re: [Freesurfer] Mean diffusivity on cortex?

SUVR you can. BP is a little trickier because BP estimation is a nonlinear operation that can be biased by noise. Probably it comes out similarly. On 08/16/2017 02:50 PM, Shane Schofield wrote: > Hi Dr Greve, > > On a similar note, can I use the Petsurfer on PET data that have > already been

Re: [Freesurfer] Mean diffusivity on cortex?

Hi Dr Greve, On a similar note, can I use the Petsurfer on PET data that have already been averaged into a single frame 3D volume instead of 4D? Example, SUVR and BPND data. Thanks for your help again. On Tuesday, August 15, 2017, 9:09:33 AM GMT+1, Shane Schofield

Re: [Freesurfer] Curvature in FreeSurfer

Curvature does not really connect simply to folding, although they are of course related. Nonetheless, one cannot make universal statements like "A curvature means an in folding". Consider for example a pathology like poly-microgryria where numerous

Re: [Freesurfer] Curvature in FreeSurfer

Hi Kaspar if you mean the values we store in the ?h.curv files, those are the spatially smoothed mean curvature (average of the two principal curvatures). a). it is of the white surface, but you can use mris_curvature to compute the curv of the pial if you want b) an increase in the

Dear Clemens, I now see where is the problem: The current implementation of recon-all -talairach step is quite complicated, as far as I understand: The -talairach registration step produces talairach.auto.xfm. If the talairach.xfm exists, it is not overwritten by talairach.auto.xfm (unless

Dear FreeSurfer, We have been discussing the mean curvature provided by FreeSurfer software. As i understand the mean curvature is measured as 1/r and has a unit of 1/mm. But a) What is the curvature an expression of? Is it the degree of folding of the brain and is it the white matter surface
