[Freesurfer] Cannot access Apply button in Configure Overlay Display dialog

2012-06-18 Thread Vadim Axel
Dear developers/users,

This is completely ridiculous known issue on a low resolution monitor :(
Presumably, it was solved here:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/tksurfer, but the file is
inaccessible via ftp.
Any other workaround? All I need is to change Min statistic threshold and
hit apply button. Probably, something via command line?
Unfortunately, there are no hot-keys and it is impossible to reach with a
tab because the non-visible dialog elements presumable do not exist (tab
goes to the top of the dialog after the last visible dialog element).
I am using Ubuntu virtual box FS 5.1.

Thanks a lot,
Vadim

Re: [Freesurfer] Flipped and non-flipped data

2012-06-18 Thread Thomas Yeo
To add on to Bruce's explanation, the freesurfer parcellation atlas
(which for example specifies the probability of precentral gyrus at a
particular location) is not symmetric, thus it will treat the left and
right hemispheres of your subject differently if you flipped it.

 Hi Remmelt

 folding patterns are not symmetric across the hemispheres, so the cortical
 parcellation will change if you flip things left/right, which is
 appropriate. I would be surprised if you see much change in the thickness
 though.

 Dear Freesurfers,

 Grey matter volumes of the same structure seem to be measured differently

 depending on if FreeSurfer establishes it as in the left or in the right
 hemisphere. For example, if I take a look at the caudal anterior cingulate
 in the right hemisphere and I flip the image (creating a mirror image of the
 same hemisphere, which will then be treated by FreeSurfer as a left
 hemisphere), the same structure has a totally different grey matter volume
 (see attachment, on the right the original and on the left the flipped
 version). Does anybody know what's the logic behind this and what's the best
 way to avoid FreeSurfer creating asymmetry between left and right hemisphere
 (maybe averaging flipped and non-flipped data?)


 Thanks!

 Kind regards,
 Remmelt Schür

[Freesurfer] Correction for Multiple Comparisons - Sign Question

Freesurfers-

When choosing the simulation type does the ending have to match the sim
sign? for instance i see examples with

--sim mc-z 1 3 mc-z.pos.3 --sim sign pos

or

--sim mc-z 1 3 mc-z.neg.3 --sim sign neg

I guess what i am asking is what does the first sign (in the mc-z.(SIGN).3
mean?

[Freesurfer] Ridiculous story about Freesurfer

Did anyone else happen to see this ridiculous story on Gizmodo today? 
http://gizmodo.com/5919149/your-brain-scan-looks-different-on-mac-and-pc

It cites the recent article The Effects of FreeSurfer Version,
Workstation Type, and Macintosh Operating System Version on Anatomical
Volume and Cortical Thickness Measurements as its only source, and then
goes on to completely misinterpret it. This sentence (if I had to pick
one) is particularly troubling to me:

The finding is completely crazy, and casts doubt over the way many
scans—such as CT and MRI—are analyzed in routine practice.

Crazy, right? Enjoy...

[Freesurfer] Choosing a Scanning Sequence

2012-06-18 Thread Sullivan, Patrick M.
Hello,

We are working with previously acquired data, so unfortunately we are unable to 
use the MPRAGE sequence for the current data set.

We would like to use T1 images to compute volumetric results.  We are using a 
Philips 3T Achieva, and the sequences received by most participants are a 
T1-FFE (FLASH in Siemens terms or SPGR in GE terms) and a T1 TFE sequence (I 
believe this is TurboFLASH in Siemens terms, although I am not fully familiar 
with it).

Are either of these scans appropriate for performing volumetric analysis of 
grey/white matter using FreeSurfer?  Is either scan preferable to the other?

Re: [Freesurfer] Correction for Multiple Comparisons - Sign Question

2012-06-18 Thread Douglas N Greve
That is just the name. It must be different for each call so that the 
files are not overwritten. It does not have to match the sign, but it 
will  be less confusing if it does.

 Freesurfers-

 When choosing the simulation type does the ending have to match the 
 sim sign? for instance i see examples with

 --sim mc-z 1 3 mc-z.pos.3 --sim sign pos

 or

 --sim mc-z 1 3 mc-z.neg.3 --sim sign neg

 I guess what i am asking is what does the first sign (in the 
 mc-z.(SIGN).3 mean?

[Freesurfer] map ROI-based measures back to surface

2012-06-18 Thread Leon
Hi, FreeSurfer experts
I used mri_make_surface_parcellation and parcellated the brain into 200 ROIs. 
Then some measures were derived based on the ROIs and now I have 200*1 matrix 
with each ROI having a value. What I want to do is to map the ROI-based 
measures back to the surface files and show the intensity differences between 
these 200 ROIs on surfaces. Could someone tell me what is the best way to 
realize that? Forgive me if this question has bee asked before, but I really do 
not know how to input best keywords for the question to search in the archive.

Many thanks in advance!
Leon

[Freesurfer] qdec group analysis

2012-06-18 Thread Cat Chong
 
Hello Freesurfers,

I have created an ROI label for 80
subjects in qdec. My question is the following: Is there a command
that will create a .stats file for all my subjects rather than using
the below command on each person individually?
mris_anatomical_stats -l rh.ento.label \ -t rh.thickness -b -f 
4000/stats/rh.ento.stats 4000 rh

Re: [Freesurfer] qdec group analysis

2012-06-18 Thread Douglas N Greve
Hi Cat, you can use something like:

mri_segstats --i y.mgh --slabel fsaverage lh your.label --id 1 --avgwf 
avgwf.dat
where y.mgh is the file created by qdec that has stack of subjects' data
avgwf.dat will have a value for each subject that is the mean over your ROI

Re: [Freesurfer] map ROI-based measures back to surface

2012-06-18 Thread Douglas N Greve
There's not an easy way to do this. You can load the parcellation into 
matlab and create a matrix of size nverticesx1, then map the value you 
want into each vertex, then
mri.vol = yourmatrix;
MRIwrite(mri,'lh.matrix.mgh')
then load that lh.matrix.mgh as an overlay in tksurfer
