[Freesurfer] produce mgz files from ima files of Siemens Scanner

Hi,
i would like to know how i produce the mgz files from dicomfiles with the end 
ima instead of dcm?

Thanks

did you check the skull stripping? And the talairach?

Hi Bruce,

I am trying to do cortical thickness on a few scans.  But on many of  the
subjects after autorecon2, I found temporal regions were not included. When
I browsed the archive, it was suggested to add a few control points in the
temporal lobe wm, saving the control points and rerunning using the command
:

recon-all -autorecon2-cp -autorecon3 -subjid subject

- which is supposed to do the trick and fix the pial surface as well.
Unfortunately, this didn't give me different results when I opened the image
using this command :

tkmedit subject brainmask.mgz lh.white -aux T1.mgz -aux-surface rh.white

The image was the same,  with contol points added, and the temporal
regionstillnot included.
I have some images for you to look at (

However, I compared the stats ( lh & rh .aparc.2005 and lh & rh aparc )
before adding cp and after adding cp & rerunning eveything --- the values
are different. Although the second image still did not include the temporal
region, the stats nevertheless gave me different values. I am relatively new
to Freesurfer and I appreciate your suggestions and thoughts on this
dilemma.  Thank you for taking the time to help me with this.

Deepa.

[Freesurfer] Complex value color scales.

2007-03-21 Thread Greg Appelbaum
I am trying to display phase information on the cortical surface using tksurfer,
but am running into problems with the scale bar.  Specifically when plotting
scalar values using a complex color scale (e.g. RYGB Wheel), I am getting nice
looking (continulus) cortical maps, with the correct scale values, but the
color bar is showing up inconsistent (two colors).  Is there any way to correct
this problem, or access the actual color values being projected to the cortical
mesh?

Deepa,

How different were the values?  The stats will differ about 0.02% from
run-to-run on the same subject due to randomness present in some of the
processing algorithms.

Re: [Freesurfer] produce mgz files from ima files of Siemens Scanner

2007-03-21 Thread Nick Schmansky
Thomas,

You should be able to just use:

  mri_convert .ima 001.mgz

but if that doesnt work try:

  mri_convert -it siemens .ima 001.mgz

also, the --help flag to mri_convert will display its options.

[Freesurfer] gray matter misclassified as csf

2007-03-21 Thread Binyam Nardos
Dear Freesurfers,
after finishing autorecon2, I was inspecting brainmask.mgz with wm.mgz as the 
aux volume. I noticed that the segmentation has classified some of the 
subcortical nuclei (thalamus, putamen etc) as csf instead of graymatter (they 
appear white as opposed to black in the wm volume). What is the best way to 
correct this problem? If I have to manually correct this, would I need to 
remove these misclassified csf voxels and by doing so, would they then become 
gray matter after I save the main and aux volumes?
appreciate any help,

Binyam

Hi Binyam,

don't worry about the subcortical regions in the wm.mgz (they were actually 
classified as white matter, but it won't matter)

RE: [Freesurfer] gray matter misclassified as csf

2007-03-21 Thread Bruce Fischl
the wm.mgz is a binary segmentation of white and non-white, so there is 
no distinction between CSF and gm. There is some autofilling of various 
structures to get the topology of the gray/white interface close to 
spherical (e.g. ventricles, basal ganglia, etc...), but you should only 
bother editing if the final white and pial surfaces are not correct

Bruce,
thanks for the quick response. I have to bug you one more time, I have attached 
a screenshot of the wm volume,  would you correct the voxels classified as csf 
(on the top left corner) which, on the brainmask volume, appear as graymatter, 
or should I altogether stop worrying about gray matter structures misclassified 
as csf?
thanks a lot,
Binyam
