Hi Doug,

Thanks a lot for the page! It was very helpful.


I have a few questions about one of the commands and a question for one of the 
output files.


1) mri_gtmpvc --i pet.nii.gz --reg template.reg.lta --psf FWHM --seg gtmseg.mgz 
--default-seg-merge --auto-mask PSF .01 --mgx .01 --o gtmpvc.output

(a) For the psf flag, do I have to know exactly the FWHM of the point-spread 
function of the scanner or would a default value of 6 work for all? I am using 
PET images from multiple centers and thus each image are from different 
scanners, and I'm not sure how I would find the fwhm for each scanner.

(b) For the mgx flag, is the GM threshold .01 an optimal threshold referring to 
the p-value?(am new to PVEcorrection and asking out of curiosity) What is the 
difference if I enter .01 versus I don't enter it?


2) From the gtm.stats.dat output file, the 5th column(number of PET voxels in 
the ROI) of, for example, the ctx-lh-precuneus and ctx-rh-precuneus are 1744 
and 1805 respectively. However, in the ?h.aparc.stats files from recon-all, the 
4th column(gray matter volume) of lh-precuneus and rh-precuneus are 5928 and 
6125 respectively. I am confused because I thought the number of PET voxels 
should be equal to the number of GM voxels in the ROI?

Also, for output files such as gtm.nii.gz or nopvc.nii.gz, what programs can I 
open them with? It doesn't seem it is openned with mricron or gedit.


Thank you again in adavnce for your help.


Best,

Subin

제목: Re: [Freesurfer] PVE correction tool on Freesurfer 6

Hi Subin, I just created this page this morning
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/PetSurfer
do you want to take a look and see if it answers your questions. As for
#2, yes you still need to run gtmseg.
