Hello All,
I’m working with some data that I would like to compare
inter-site, and would like to correct the gradient distortion from the
different scanners (Siemens Allegra and Trio). That being said, I have
looked online at the documentation to do this and have not been able to get
the correction working properly. I have gotten the .grad files from Siemens
and tried to use them with the two solutions online (the NITRC files and the
grad_unwarp command in FreeSurfer) to no avail. I appreciate any advice
from those experienced in correcting distortions.
The two problems that I am having now is:
1. While I have done all the steps listed online for the NITRC and do
get an output, the files come out in what looks to be more distortion than
before the correction. (The heads look very blocky after the correction and
the surrounding box, which I believe should turn out square, now looks like
Pacman went crazy and ate bites out of the sides.)
2. To use the grad_unwarp from freesurfer, I used the NITRC files to
make the converted .gwv file for the distortion correction, but get this
error (below). I assume this means I don’t have a table.mat file. Where do
I get this? Also, grad_unwarp -help doesn’t really say much about how we’re
supposed to setup the files/make the correction tables, any advice?
Thanks for any help you have to offer!
