Re: [Freesurfer] TRACULA analyses in glmfit

2015-07-06 Thread Pedro Rosa - GMail
Hi Anastasia,  
Thanks for the clarification. I am happy to hear that you are working on that!
As the byvoxel data includes MNI coordinates, I though it could be possible to 
assemble them to MNI 3D space.
Thanks again!
Pedro Rosa.

[Freesurfer] TRACULA analyses in glmfit

2015-07-05 Thread Pedro Rosa - GMail
Dear Developers,  
Tracula’s Statistics wiki suggests one to use the statistical software of 
choice. Could it be glmfit?
For that, I think I would need to concatenate each tract-by-voxel diffusion 
data from each subject (e.g., each diffusion data of course separately) in 
common space (e.g., MNI) and then input it to mri_glmfit / mri_glmfit-sim, 
whose output sig.mgh would be loaded in Freeview as a heatmap.
I understood that diffusion data in Tracula is saved in .txt files, which 
cannot be inputed into mri_preproc or mri_label2vol. Is it possible to use 
glmfit with Tracula outputs?
Thanks in advance,
Pedro Rosa.

[Freesurfer] dt_recon

2015-05-10 Thread Pedro Rosa - GMail
Dear developers, 
I am running an analysis with dt_recon, and it seems that my DWI files are 
organized into three series (one larger, and two smaller, that I believe are 
ADC and Trace). Inputing a DICOM file to dt_recon generates a .nii file from 
one of the series only (the larger one, once it has many more .dcm files). 
Thus, it ignores the smaller series.
This is the first time I am working with DWI series, so I not quite sure if 
this way of organizing data is usual.
I would appreciate help in regard of how to deal with this data and input it 
into dt_recon.

Pedro Rosa.

Re: [Freesurfer] Insula

2015-04-07 Thread Pedro Rosa - Gmail
Hi, 
Thanks a lot, Bruce. These are from a 1.5T GE Signa scanner, with a T1-SPGR 
sequence with 0.86x0.86x1.5mm voxel size, echo time 5.2ms, resolution time 
21.7ms, flip angle 20. This is an older sample we have, and I intent to 
replicate earlier SPM analyses but now using FreeSurfer. I acknowledge the low 
contrast problem, but I am having success in correcting topological errors in 
the temporal lobe, and only these insula problems show to be harder to deal 
with.
Your help will be very appreciated! I am now putting the file (PedroRosa.zip)

Dear FreeSurfers, 
I was correcting the topology of some subjects, and could not fix some subjects 
whose insula is misplaced into the temporal lobe / subcortical regions. 
Inspecting wm.mgz in tkmedit, it seems that there are wm voxels into the 
hippocampus, perhaps leading surfaces to be built there. Removing them, 
however, did not help (actually, it seems that it made things worse). Can you 
help me? I can upload the subject if it you think it is suitable.
Many thanks in advance,

[Freesurfer] Longitudinal - varying geometries

2015-04-01 Thread Pedro Rosa - Gmail
Dear FreeSurfers,
I have read in the Mailing list 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg32753.html and 
others) other users asking questioning in regard of a Warning from FreeSurfer 
5.3 longitudinal pipeline (-base step):
\n***
WARNING: Image geometries differ across time, maybe due to aquisition changes?
 This can potentially bias a longitudinal study! Will continue in 10s.
***\n
I am working in a sample with a longotudinal design which receives this warn, 
although there was no change in hardware, and (supposedly) the acquisition 
protocol was the same. As requested by Martin in former posts in the Mailing 
List, I attached the output from mri_info */rawavg.mgz.
I would like to know if these differences should be considered a bias in a 
longitudinal study and, if they should, if there is a way to fix it.
Regards,
Pedro Rosa.

Hi, Bruce.  
I am currently putting the file (Well-C0-T1w-023-20050425_124.zip) - it will 
take a while.  
I was able to make it a lot better using the Topological Defect correction in 
tkmedit. Is it suitable for this task? I have not tried adding control points.
This is an older data with a quite long follow-up, so unfortunately I can not 
change the acquisition. Sorry, I am unaware of the type of receive coil that 
was used.
Thanks,

Hi, Bruce.
Yes, it it the T1.mgz. Is it a large topological error? Can I correct it 
editing wm.mgz?
Thanks,

[Freesurfer] Cortical Misegmentation

2015-03-05 Thread Pedro Rosa - Gmail
Dear FreeSurfer, 
I have found several subjects to have temporal lobe misegmentations (usually 
neocortical, as attached, but sometimes mesial tempporal), and less frequently 
in the insula.
I could find in the manual editing page from the Wiki a way to fix this. How 
should I do it?
Thanks a lot,
Pedro Rosa.

[Freesurfer] RAM Replace

2015-02-23 Thread Pedro Rosa - Gmail
Dear all,
I would like to know whether a RAM memory replacement in a Mac computer would 
change FreeSurfer 5.3 processing.
I have a sample that was almost completely processed, but there are a few 
subjects whose acquisition are yet to be done. I would like know whether I 
could process such images after the RAM replacement without biasing the study. 
The change would be from a Markvision without ECC (error-correction code) to a 
Kingston with ECC.
Thanks in advance,
Pedro Rosa.

Re: [Freesurfer] Thin Surface

Thanks, Bruce.  
I pasted the mri_segment and mris_make_surfaces I found in three subjects’ logs.
Expert opts would be -seg-wlo and -seg-ghi? Which values would be reasonable? 
Do they depend on scanning characteristics or do you have a sort of standard 
parameters for the software?

[Freesurfer] LME Contrasts - Longitudinal Analysis

2015-01-10 Thread Pedro Rosa - Gmail
Dear Freesurfer List,  
Reading the Wiki for the GLM procedures, I understood that that covariates that 
are “0” in the contrast matrix are “regressed out” 
(http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Fsgdf2G2V).  
I would like to know if this is also true for the LME contrasts 
(http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LinearMixedEffectsModels), and if 
this applies both for categorical (e.g., gender) and continuous variables 
(e.g., age in years).
Thank you very much in advance,
Pedro Rosa.
