[Freesurfer] volume of CSF for hemispheres

2011-02-16 Thread Tetiana Dadakova
Dear list,

I would like to calculate CSF volume separately for left and right
hemispheres. In aseg.stats file I have volumes for 3rd, 4th and 5th
ventricles as a whole.
Is there any possibility to get volume values for right/left parts of
3rd, 4th and 5th ventricles?

Thank you,
Tanja.

Hi Tanja

we don't do this by default, but I guess you could use the Talairach x 
coordinate to try to differentiate.

Thank you, Bruce.

Could you recommend me any tutorial on this? Or probably can you just
mention some steps or commands, where I should insert coordinates?

Hi Tanja,

I think Doug just put up a coordinate tutorial. For each voxel in the 
aseg label you are interested, compute it's tal coords and if the x is 
negative assign it to one pool and if it is positive assign it to the other

[Freesurfer] output of mris_anatomical_stats

2011-02-16 Thread Marco Loggia, PhD
Dear all,

 

In mris_anatomical_stats, the "average cortical thickness" value comes with
a measure of dispersion around the mean. Is this Standard Deviation? If so,
is there a way to plot the 95% confidence intervals instead?  

 

Thanks,

Marco

Re: [Freesurfer] (no subject)

2011-02-16 Thread Marco Loggia, PhD
Cara Angela,

 

La maggioranza degli utenti di questa mailing list (incluso il team di
freesurfer, che mi ha chiesto di risponderti) non parla italiano. Per
comunicazioni future ti suggerirei di scrivere in inglese, in modo da
assicurarti assistenza diretta dal team.

 

Per preprocessare i tuoi dati devi seguire questi step:

 

1)  Utilizzando il comando 'setenv' devi specificare il path completo
della directory contenente i tuoi soggetti.

Per esempio, se la tua directory si trova in /DATI/SOGGETTI, devi usare il
comando: 

setenv SUBJECTS_DIR /DATI/SOGGETTI

 

2)  cd $SUBJECTS_DIR

3)  mkdir -p NOMESOGGETTO/mri/orig 

4)  mri_convert FILE_NAME.nii NOMESOGGETTO/mri/orig/001.mgz

5)  recon-all -s NOMESOGGETTO -autorecon-all

 

Questo dovrebbe funzionare. In bocca al lupo!

 

 

Marco

Hi Marco

that is the spatial standard deviation, which probably isn't a very

Re: [Freesurfer] output of mris_anatomical_stats

2011-02-16 Thread Marco Loggia, PhD
Thanks Bruce for your prompt reply.

The surfaces I feed to mris_anatomical_stats are actually not thickness
data, but quantitative CBF maps, calculated using arterial spin labeling. 

I am trying to extract, for each subject, the average CBF value across the
whole cortical surface. Considering this, the dispersion should be the SD of
the CBF across all vertices, right?
 
Is it not possible to obtain 95% C.I. instead of the SD?

you can try the -no-gcut flag at the end of recon-all to disable the
gcut stage within skullstrip.  for the next release (5.1), gcut is being
made more conservative to reduce these failures.

Re: [Freesurfer] question regarding T1-data quality

2011-02-16 Thread Bruce Fischl
the surfaces look ok, although the data looks pretty low contrast. Was it 
a flash scan? what is the voxel resolution?

Re: [Freesurfer] Between Task Analysis

2011-02-16 Thread Mandy Nagy
Thank you for your response!

We decided to run an isxconcat-sess on both analyses (day1 and day2),
and we used fscalc to do day1 - day2.  Now we're trying to run
mri_glmfit.  However, the FSGD files we used before either specified
day1 or day2 sessions.  How do we create an FSGD file now that each
data point is actually 'day1 - day2' for one subject and not one of
the pre-existing subject folders?

Thanks!

Yes, you need to run recon-all in order to run the FSFAST analysis.

Re: [Freesurfer] Between Task Analysis

2011-02-16 Thread Douglas N Greve
You mean you have used the day1 recon-all with the day1 functional (and 
same for day 2)? I would probably pick an anatomical from one day and 
use them with the functionals for both days. You can use either FSGD 
file assuming that the class membership and continuous variables are the 
same. If you're just doing an OSGM, then you don't even need a an FSGD 
file (but it does not hurt).
