Perfect.

x and y: plotmesh('x,y')

So we were able to figure out how to segment the different parts of the
brain using the bert sample, but have run into another problem.
I would like to save each segmentation so that I can import it into matlab
and create a matrix in order to create a mesh. The volume segment saves a
as a .vtk file, which I don't know how to read into matlab. How can I save
it as or convert it to a .mgz file so that I can import it into matlab?

Hi Bruce,

I am trying to create a mesh of the MRI scans, eventually with imported

Say I import an MRI scan, and I want to cortically segment it in order to
create a mesh of the volume. What are the steps to do this and how do I
follow through with each step? I tried to watch the youtube tutorials on
the Freesurfer youtube, but since they are slides informing of what
Freesurfer can do and not quite a play-by-play interaction of Freeview, I
am stuck.

Thanks

Abbie

[Freesurfer] Freesurfer/Freeview help

2016-06-27 Thread Abbie McNulty
Hello,

I am trying to segment a MRI brain in order to create a mesh of the image
into finite elements, but I am very new with Freesurfer/Freeview and am not
familiar with the tools. So far, I have only uploaded brain.mgt from the
bert file that comes with the program. If I wanted to mesh this brain, how
should I proceed? The online tutorials have confused me especially since I
am not sure if I am supposed to be using the terminal or the command window
for a lot of the code commands.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Abbie McNulty
