[Freesurfer] missing tutorial data for Longitudinal Processing - Tutorial

2011-05-17 Thread Knut J Bjuland
Hi

I am trying to follow the Longitudinal Processing - Tutorial but it 
appear that the tutorial data is missing at the server? Has the file 
been rename or moved to another place?

[Freesurfer] Question about volumetric group analysis

2011-05-17 Thread Fernanda Palhano
Hello,

I have two questions about volumetric analysis:
First: Are the volume measures in the files aseg.stats or ?h.aparc.stats
(Gray Matter Volume) already normalized by ICV? Or should I divide
all the structure volumes which I want to compare between subjects by the
ICV of each subject?
Second: When comparing gray matter volumes the correct is use the ICV or the
total cortical gray matter volume to normalize? And if I have
to use the total cortical gray matter volume, how can I obtain it? I know
that this information is in the aseg.stats file, but I was wondering if I
can use asegstats2table to extract it.


Thank you very much,

Fernanda

Hi,
Nothing in the stats is normalized. It makes sense to normalize volumes by ICV 
when comparing across subjects (as that is assumed to stay constant while GM 
volume of course changes ).

Not sure if aseg...table grabs it, it should, maybe Krish knows.

Yes, the data is currently missing as we have to rerun all tutorials with the

Re: [Freesurfer] Question about volumetric group analysis

2011-05-17 Thread Michael Harms

Hi Fernanda,
The choice between ICV vs a measure of total "brain volume" or total
cortical gray matter volume depends on whether you want to control for
potential overall brain atrophy.  Using ICV will control for overall
"head size", but not for potential overall brain atrophy (e.g., with
age, or related to dementia).  Using total cortical gray matter will
control for overall brain atrophy and thus would allow you to say that
changes in a given structure were "above and beyond" any existing global
atrophy.

Personally, I find it more informative to control for potential global
atrophy, and thus use total cortical gray matter rather than ICV.  After
all, if a structure is decreased in size, but the overall brain is
decreased as well, you have not established anything regarding the
specificity of that change to the structure of interest if you use ICV
as the covariate.

cheers,
-MH

[Freesurfer] different V1 sizes for same subject in two different sessions

2011-05-17 Thread Ritobrato Datta
Hello All,

I have estimated V1 using Hinds and Fischl method for some subjects scanned on 
two different days. I've been going through the V1 surface area data for these. 
One thing that concerns me is that is seems that very different V1 sizes are 
reported for the same subject when scanned on different dates and each run 
through the cross sectional stream.
I am trying to check the test-re-test values for these.

Any idea why this is so and whats a better method to do the comparison ?

Thanks

Ri

Whether you should use ICV or GM volume is a matter of debate that 
depends on exactly what you are trying to do and what structure you are 
studying. Your hypothesis that you are testing should have a statement 
about normalization. The ICV and total GM volume automatically show up 
as a column when you run asegstats2table.

Re: [Freesurfer] Question about volumetric group analysis

2011-05-17 Thread Michael Harms

For subcortical structures, you could consider using a covariate measure
that itself includes subcortical gray matter.  Not sure if the latest FS
version has such a measure automatically constructed or not.  In the
past, we have used "whole brain volume" as a covariate for analysis of
both cortical and subcortical structures, with "whole brain volume"
defined as the volume contained within the pial surface (obtained using
mris_volume) minus the volume of the lateral ventricles (contained
within the aseg).

[Freesurfer] Freesurfer Average Subject

2011-05-17 Thread mmoayedi

Dear Dr. Fischl,

We have been following the steps you have laid out on the listserv 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg17601.html) to 
make an average subject. However, we are not able to proceed with the 
mris_preproc step. It requires an output file and the hemisphere. When we 
include these, it asks for an input file.

The command we are inputting is:
mris_preproc --surfreg sphere.reg.avgsubject --s nc_001 --s ...

and

mris_preproc --surfreg sphere.reg.avgsubject --hemi rh --s nc_001 --out 
avgsubject.mgz

Could you please advise us on how to proceed?

Thank you.

and I did not get the error about rh.sphere.reg surface not matching
rh.inflated that I got with my data, but I still have the same problem with
the tutorial data (bert). I see only a tiny part of the inflated brain in
tksurfer. I have not tried to use tksurfer except to look at the inflated
brain (my data then bert). For example if we were looking at an egg, I would
only see one little piece of the shell, maybe 10% of the whole shell. Not
sure what to do next. Since this happens with the tutorial data, I'll give
you the info you indicated:

PCIe x16, MRGA13 CRD,GRPHC,256,FX,

have the latest drivers

I access this machine remotely using NX from a Dell Precision T5500 running

 Here's the output, think this might be it? (I am using red hat on a 32

Re: [Freesurfer] MRI Signal Dropout

Hello,

I have uploaded a subject via Martinos Center File Drop website. Have you
had a chance to take a look?


Thank you,

[Freesurfer] CORRELATION VALUE

2011-05-17 Thread cgomez
Hi all,

My design is very simple: 1-group,1-variable 2-nuisance (age,gender).
I just want to see the correlation between Cth and my variable.
I obtain one cluster after mc-correction. (using freesurfer5)

There is any way to get the intercept,slope or r-pearson (in average) values of 
this particular cluster.

What I've done is transform this cluster in a label to then visually inspect 
the Graph Average ROI, but I want the numerical results.

Thanks in advance for your useful help.

Cleo.

Re: [Freesurfer] Making a custom experimental template

2011-05-17 Thread soft.join Huang
Hi doug,

I read your instructions on how to make an average subject, it looks quite
streamlined.
But I still have two questions about the procedure.
1. During the processing, every subject's surface need to register to a
common target, and where the target comes from, it is an existed template in
FreeSurfer or randomly selected from the pool of subjects, or something
else?
2. In order to get a well-established or accurate average template, how many
times does the function make_average_subject need to run?

Thanks in advance,
Lijie Huang
