[Freesurfer] gca atlas creation

2013-01-02 Thread Gabriel Gonzalez Escamilla
Dear FreeSurfer expertsHapp new year to all of you, and thanx for all your help along the past 2012.I would like to make some questions regardins a new atlas creation1) In a first step before mri_ca_train I did use mri_ca_normalize to 
normalize my FS_MNI152average subject to the JHU.ICBMtracts.1mm.mgz but this create an 
empty norm.mgz, is this normal? whean I saw that the norm.mgz was empty I decide to create all the files by:recon-all
 -s My_MNI152_avg -autorecon1 -autorecon2-inflate1, that create all 
files as normally does with my every other subjects; Then I run mri_ca_train, using as -mask the brain.mgz, as -T1 the norm.mgz created during recon-all, directed to my FS_MNI251average subject, and as -parc_dir JHU.ICBMtracts.1mm..mgz; as result got the .gca and a mgh fileI use the load_gca.m to check the .gca created, but get the next error message:version 5 in file $JHU.ICBMtracts_12_2012.gca incorrect - not a known gca file2) Is there any way to check at the gca file created? just to make myself sure that everything is placed in the right way3)
 And lastly, Which is the next step to parcellate the WM of all my 
subjects as the new atlas? Can I use this gca file with mris_ca_label? or some other tool will be better?Many thanks in advanced,Gabriel.

Hi Gabriel

what are you trying to achieve? There's no point in building a gca from a 
single average subject. The gca is typically built be compiling statistics 
across many subjects.

Not sure if you need the answers any longers but (1) you can view the gca 
with freeview as it if were an image file (append #0 and #1 for viewing 
different frames, in this case that denotes max probability label and 
mean intensity of that label). (2) the norm.mgz definitely shouldn't be 
empty, and (3) yes, mri_ca_label would be the right tool

cheers
Bruce

 directed to my FS_MNI251average subject, and as -parc_dir 
 JHU.ICBMtracts.1mm..mgz; as result got the .gca
 and a mgh file
 I use the load_gca.m to check the .gca created, but get the next error 
 message:
 version 5 in file $JHU.ICBMtracts_12_2012.gca incorrect - not a known gca 
 file
 2) Is there any way to check at the gca file created? just to make myself 
 sure that everything is placed
 in the right way
 
 3) And lastly, Which is the next step to parcellate the WM of all my subjects 
 as the new atlas? Can I use

 Many thanks in advanced,
