External Email - Use Caution Dear All and Bruce,
This mail is on top of the query I had a couple of weeks back where I misinterpreted that I had binary mask of each structure as individual nifti volume files but on closer look, the nifti files had the probability that the structure is present at that certain location. On looking into the freesurfer website, I came across this documentation of creation of Atlas, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/SurfaceLabelAtlas SurfaceLabelAtlas - Free Surfer Wiki<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/SurfaceLabelAtlas> Overview. This document provides an overview of two related topics: How the FreeSurfer pipeline automatically labels a subject's regions (producing an annotation file) by comparing the subject's curvature data to an "atlas" ("gcs") file. surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu In this documentation the process is done by looping through N subjects to get the probability information, and these subjects are registered to the registration template derived from average of reference templates. I would like to know if I could use these probability information directly and since the atlas information is already in the MNI152 space, can I use the registration template which is already available with freesurfer, and if yes, can someone guide me on which registration files I must use. Secondly, I tried using mri_vol2surf and tried to convert the volume data to a surface data before creating labels, but on doing so I had errors when creating labels from the surface files. To convert into volume I ran the below code: *mri_vol2surf --mov ID076_LL_PHGa_l_HvOx_prob.mgz --ref ID076_LL_PHGa_l_HvOx_prob.mgz --out ID076_LL_PHGa_l_HvOx_prob_surf.mgz --hemi lh --mni152reg --projdist-max -2 0 .1 --reshape --interp nearest* Then I to convert this surface file into label I ran *mri_cor2label --i ID080_CPuP_l_HvOx_prob_surf.mgz --l area1.label --id 076* And I got the error *Found 0 label voxels ERROR: found no voxels matching id 76* But the process runs fine if I run the mri_cor2label on the volume file. It would be nice if someone can help me out on where I'm going wrong here.
