Dear Rouhi,

Thanks for your fast reply. I already have the atlas file itself loaded
into Matlab (at the moment, I use the
multi-model atlas from [Glasser, 2013] but this could be any atlas) and I
just want to be able to visualize
the ROI borders, that's all.

Kind regards,

Re: [caret-users] Creating a surface-based atlas from a volumetric-atlas

2015-01-08 Thread HINDRIKS, RIKKERT
Hi Donna,

Thank you very much for your response.

You're right about the smoothing: the deformed individual surface in the
target directory is indeed the same as the
original one (after the flattening). Clear.

Would the deformed individual surface in the target directory be considered
native space? The only difference with
the unregistered surface is that it is resampled onto standard mesh (but
the shape is the same). All goodies also
project nicely to it. I also plotted them over one another and they
perfectly overlap. FYI: I am calculating an EcoG
leadfield on the surface so the exact shape needs to stay the same.

And am I correct that the deformed template surfaces in the source
directory are resampled onto the individual
mesh? In this directory, however, I only see the deformed spherical. I that
all the boxes Deform coordinate files to
atlas so these I assume, are the deformed surfaces in the target
directory. I see however, no box atlas to individual.

I figured out how to export a paint file and input it in Matlab: I save it
as a labeled GIFTI file and open it in Matlab
with gifti.m (from the GIFTI toolbox). I then have all 19 columns at once!

Kind regards,
Rikkert

P.S. I noticed that in the Paxinos atlas, V5 is merged with the medial
wall.

  Hi Donna,
 
  I now have performed the spherical registration. What I would need is
 the PHT atlas on the individual surface.

 If you checked the box requesting atlas to individual, then you should
 have that in your individual/source directory.

  I am however, not sure how to interpret the generated surfaces. For
 example, in the target directory there appear
  coordinate files with the prefix deformed and refer to the individual
 monkey. Although the shape of the fiducial
  one is very similar to the shape of the (undeformed) individual surface,
 there are some slight differences (for
  example, the medial wall is smoothed). What is the exact interpretation
 of these surfaces?

 Yes, the medial wall gets smoothed at the beginning of flattening, if I
 recall correctly (it's been a long time!), and a version of the sphere is
 generated from the fiducial with the smoothed medial wall.  This is what
 goes into registration.

 What you are seeing in the atlas directory is the source/individual
 midthickness (with smoothed medial wall) resampled onto the target mesh.
 It will be slighter smoother than the source, and thus have slightly
 smaller surface area.  But it will look a lot like the source.

  I noticed that I can view the different atlases defined on the template
 on these deformed atlases. Does this
  mean that I have mapped them to the individual surface (which is what I
 want)?

 It sounds like things went reasonably well.  Now you're at a point where
 you need to decide:

 * do I work with atlas goodies on my native individual surface
 (assuming you checked that box)? or
 * do I work with individual goodies on atlas surfaces

 The answer depends on what you're doing with the data.  If it's more
 important that the surface stays native (e.g., for folding/areal
 measurements), then the former option is better.  If it's handy to have
 things on the atlas standard mesh for other reasons, then atlas-land is the
 way to go.  With just one subject, native-land may be fine.  I did skim the
 history below, but don't have the time to fully digest it at the moment.
 But maybe this will get you further along in your own thinking about next
 steps.

  One more question about exporting the results: When I export the
 deformed surface with the atlas as a
  .label.gii file and read it into Matlab, I get a nice list of ROI names
 and corresponding RGB and alpha
  values. However, the .cdata fields has 20 columns which I don't
 understand. I hoped to get, for each
  vertex, an index into the ROI list. I've also tried to export it as a
 surf.gii file, the then the .cdata field has
  4 columns whose meaning I don't understand as well. Could you please
 clearify this for me and tell me
  how to get a ROI-number for each vertex?

 The atlas label/paint file may have multiple columns for multiple
 parcellations (e.g., LVE00 vs OrbitalFrontal).  You might need to extract
 just one of these and work with a single parcellation at a time.  This is
 my best guess as to what is going on there.

 
  Much appreciated!
  Kind regards,
  Rikkert

Hi Donna,

I've constructed a .borderproj file (and a .bordercolor file) containing
the 23 LANDMARKS that correspond to the 23 LANDMARKS
in the file
Macaque.F99UA1.LR.AVERAGE.LANDMARKS_for_FULL-HEMISPHERE_RegWithPHT00.73730.borderproj
with
corresponding .bordercolor filee Macaque.LANDMARKS_for_FULL-HEM.bordercolor
and I think there is a good correspondence
between the individual and template LANDMARKS.

To perform the spherical registration however, I need the template sphere
of the left hemisphere, while I can only find the one of the
right hemisphere (Macaque.ATLAS.sphere.6.73730.coord). Do you know where I
can find it? (Maybe I can obtain it by mirroring, but
I have no idea how this could be done).

And I have a couple of general questions:

1. In which file-types are the sulcal-depths stored? (this applies both to
individual as well as template data)?  I quess this should be a
.surface_shape file, but I cannot find it. I ask this because I want to
make a new directory which only contains those files that I need.

2. In connection with this: What is the best way to organize the data
files? I now make different folders (one  for flattening, one for
landmarks, and one for the registration, each containing a different set of
data files and a single .spec file). Should I put everything
in one folder and make different .spec files for the different procedures?

3. Why are there .topology files? (since the topology is determined by the
triangulation, which is stored in .coord files)


4. After registering, how can I project any goodies defined on the template
to the individual surface? For example, I would like to
view the PHT parcellation on the individual surface (or at least have a
label for each vertex so that I can view it in matlab).

I would appreciate it if you find the time to provide some comments.

   the extracted surface from the group-averaged image looks worse than
 that extracted from the individual image (it is entirely ok, except

 medial side).
 
  This is to be expected.  A more reasonable thing to do if you want an
 average surface is generate surfaces for the individuals and compute an
 average from them.  You probably don't have those surfaces, so honestly I'd
 try the first option and vet the resulting mapping using the
 T1+contour+volumetric-overlay view.
 
  Still another option would be to use surface based registration to get
 your individual monkey in register with the F6 atlas (part 3,

2014-10-29 Thread HINDRIKS, RIKKERT
Dear all,

I have an averaged T1-image and co-registered volumetric atlas of the
macaque brain (which has been digitized by a collaborator) and want to
derive from it a surface-based
atlas. Subsequently, I would like to use this atlas to get a parcellation
of the cortical surface of an individual macaque brain). How should I
approach this problem?

I have extracted the cortical surface from the averaged T1-weigthed scan.
Should I now
just label each cortical vertex by determining to which ROI it belongs? And
what if some vertices fall outside all ROI's? Also, the result does not
look so smooth as existing atlases.

And to parcellate an individual macaque brain, can I register both the
surfaces (that is, the template surface and the individual surface)
spherically?

Thanks a lot,

  If you see solid white, then please upload the volume here, so we can
 try to replicate the problem:

Re: [caret-users] Issue with displaying voxel intensities

2014-06-19 Thread HINDRIKS, RIKKERT
Hi Tim,

Thank a lot for your fast response! Ok, clear. Ok, so I decrease the FOV
before loading it in Caret. About the NaNs, I noticed that and replaced them
with zeros now.

MRI is new for me so most likely I will post some more trivial issues.

Kind regards,
Rikkert

P.S. Please delete the scan; it came from  collaborator's lab.

 It is doing that because the FOV is so large compared to the brain - the
 total number of positive voxels is only 2.1% of the total number of voxels.
  Thus, the default display of clipping the top and bottom 2% of values
 results in a very low max for palette scaling.  Changing the Draw Type in
 Volume Settings in display control to Min to Max shows the variation in the
 data, though a bit darker than what 2% to 98% does on more
 approriately-sized volumes.

 It should also be noted that ~50% of your voxels are NaN, which are
 generally quite unfriendly to computation such as smoothing.

 Tim

 Hi Rikkert,

 Please try again.  There was a problem with permissions when I tried
 just now, but I fixed it.
