Hello,
 
We are thinking about the hippocampal and lobar volumes in FS template space, 
do we have such stats? Thanks.

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical thickness in the template space

2011-04-15 Thread caoaize

Hello there, We have a bunch of files that had freesurfer run already, simply 
using the command recon-all -s subjid -all, in order to get the cortical 
thickness in fs average space, should we have to re-run all of them again using 
recon-all -s subjid -qcache -measure thickness, or we may apply some 
transformation reported already to transform the thickness from subject space 
to fs average space ? Does anyone have any suggestion on how to do that? 
Thanks. Aize

 Aize,
 
 run:
 
 recon-all -s subjid -qcache -measure thickness
 
 and this will create files in the /surf dir which sample the thickness
 data at different smoothing levels onto the fsaverage subject space.

[Freesurfer] Distance between two points along cortical

2011-04-01 Thread caoaize


Hello FS Experts,
 
Suppose we have two points on the cortical surface (pial for example), we want 
to know the distance between these two point along cortical surface (not direct 
distance). Does FS report this kind of distance? Any suggestion will be very 
appreciated.

 Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Distance between two points along cortical
 
 This question comes up sometimes -- and the short answer is 'yes', there
 is a tool that can allow you to do this. Although it will be available
 in the next version of FS (5.1), it is still a bit rough around the
 edges. It is called 'mris_pmake' and to use it to determine the distance
 between two points, do:
 
 mris_pmake --subject subject --hemi -hemi --surface0 surface
 --curv0 sulc --curv1 sulc --mpmOverlay euclidean --mpmProg pathFind
 --mpmArgs
 startVertex:startArg,endVertex:endArg
 
 So, if you have a subject called 'ID1' and want to determine the
 shortest distance along the surface between vertex 1 and vertex
 3 on the left hemisphere smoothwm, do:
 
 mris_pmake --subject ID1 --hemi lh --surface0 smoothwm --curv0 sulc
 --curv1 sulc --mpmOverlay euclidean --mpmProg pathFind --mpmArgs
 startVertex:1,endVertex:3
 
 Note, that this is *not* the geodesic, but is very close. The path is
 constrained to run along the surface mesh, so will in general be
 slightly longer than the geodesic.

[Freesurfer] Question about manually editing pial surface

Hello Freesurfer expert,
I have a question on how to manually edit the pial surface. My structure data 
are fully processed using recon-all -all. Then I go back to look at the 
white/pial surface and sub-cortical boundaries. In some data, I found the gray 
matter is not included in the pial surface.  I looked at the freesurfer

the brainmask.mgz and T1.mgz, but it does not tell me how to change the pial 
surface to include the gray matter that should be inside pial surface. May

Hi, Bruce,

 

I have two quick question,

 

1. After auto-segmentation, we are using 3D slicer to edit hippocampus. Are 
there any other researchers who did the same way, auto + manual editing? 

 

2. Since we have a lot of data for related studies that needs hippocampus 
volume, we still prefer to use auto one (without editing). What can we do if I 
provide you one original data with edited hippocampus label map? What kind of 
other information is required? 

 

Please let me know then, thanks.

 Hi Aize,
 
 I think hippocampus will probably be the hardest since it shares so much 
 of a border with dark things that will be low contrast in your images. I 
 didn't really look at other structures - did they appear accurate? One 
 thing you can try is to manually correct a single image, then there are 
 some switches I can dig up that will take the intensity distribution 
 parameters from it instead of from the atlas, that should help.

Hi, Bruce,

 

I am not clear what manual segmentation protocol we are using, it was done by a 
trained RA. Currently we just calculate the volumes correlation between manual 
segmentation and the auto one, but not your DICE method. Our aquisitions are: 
Philips 3D sense, T1TFE,  TR 7.9ms.  

 

In 27 subjects, we have two hippocampus volumes from Freesurfer auto 
segmentation around 1700, it keeps the edge, but lost lots of inside voxels. I 
am thinking to manual edit these two volumes, but do not know what happened.

  Our data is 3T, the manual segmentation follow the McConnell protocol 
  described in Volumetry of hippocampus and amygdala with high-resolution 
  MRI and three-dimensional analysis software: minimizing the discrpancies 
  between laboratories. I do not know what is the difference between yours 
  and theirs. But, if both method are consistant, then the correlation 
  coeffienct should be high. Here is one image that has bad segmention on 
  happocampus.
 
 
 
  I am appreciate for your help.

  it lost interior voxels? That doesn't sound right. Can you send us an
  image? If your manual protocol is different than the one we used then the
  DICE overlap is somewhat irrelevant.

  Hi, Bruce,
 
 
 
  I am not clear what manual segmentation protocol we are using, it was 
  done by a trained RA. Currently we just calculate the volumes 
  correlation between manual segmentation and the auto one, but not your 
  DICE method. Our aquisitions are: Philips 3D sense, T1TFE, TR 7.9ms.
 
 
 
  In 27 subjects, we have two hippocampus volumes from Freesurfer auto 
  segmentation around 1700, it keeps the edge, but lost lots of inside 
  voxels. I am thinking to manual edit these two volumes, but do not know 
  what happened.

  Hi Aize,
 
  you are using the CMA manual segmentation protocol? We have not found a
  bias in volumes, and our DICE is usually close to .9 for hippocampus.
  What acquisitions are you using?

  Hi, Bruce,
 
 
 
  Our segmentation protocol is the same one as Freesurfer's auto 
  segmentation, I used recon-all -s subject -all, command. I do not 
  know in this protocol, whether fimbria and alveus are included. We do 
  not have skin fiducial to tell right or left side. The interesting 
  thing the mean volume for auto is less than manual segmentation.

  just to add a factoid, from the ADNI data set, 793 subjects 
  processed by
  freesurfer:
  Volume Mean: StdDev:
  --- - ---
  Left-Hippocampus 3184.335 604.930
  Right-Hippocampus 3233.753 621.896

  is your segmentation protocol the same as the one we base our automated

  the hippocampus?
  
  As far as left/right switches go, do you have any fiducial markers (e.g. 
  vitamin E tablets) in the images?

   Hi, there,
  
  
   I have some problem for the hippocampus segmentation results.
  
   1. My structural data are originally in par-rec file. I used r2agui to
   convert them into .nii format, then use recon-all -i to convert the .nii
   data into freesurfer .mgz format. Based on these operations, I run
   recon-all -all on all my data, the statistical report show that the mean
   left hippocampus volume is bigger than the right one, while literature
   shows that the right one should be bigger. This problem continuously
   appeared in our different studies. I am not sure whether it is r2agui's
   problem, which changed the oritation of the structural data. Do you have
   any idea?
  
   2. After autosegmentation, we did a statistical comparison analysis
   between automatic segmentation and manual segmentation, and the
   correlation is quite low, less than 80%, which is not acceptable for us.
  
   3. Can I edit the auto segmentation results in Freesurfer if we think the
   auto segmentation is not good enough in some area?
  
   I will be really appreciated for your help.
