Re: [Freesurfer] ?Sequence for Hippo_subfields

2014-07-17 Thread Eugenio Iglesias
Hi Kev,
1. It will able to use only the T1, only the T2, or both simultaneously. 
2. The algorithm is relatively robust against these parameters. However, the 
higher the resolution and the lower the noise the better (as usual).
Cheers,

Dear Eugenio,

I'm following up on this thread. After some discussion with the radiologist, 
some relevant questions have come up:

1. Is Freesurfer going to make use of both the T1 and the T2 sequences in the 
processing stream of hippocampal subfields?

2. If the answer is yes how important is that the T1 weighted and the T2 
sequences are similar in terms on slice thickness (eg. both 1mm ISO), FOV, and 
other parameters?

Thanks,

Kev

 Much appreciated Eugenio.
 
 I had read a paper where authors report using a ultra high field scanner (7T 
 - Cho Z-H, et al. J Psychiatr Res 2010; 44: 881–886), and I notice the 
 reference you kindly provided uses a 4T scanner...
 
 I presume using a 3T might be stretching things a bit, and I wonder whether 
 future FS releases using T2-weighted images will accept 3T scans?
 
 Best regards and thanks again for great support you guys provide,

 Dear FS experts,
 
 I'm in the designing stage of a neuroimaging project on a 3T scanner, and 
 I'm interested in looking at structural information on hippocampus 
 (including subfields).
 
 In addition to the MPRAGE or IR-SPGR, is it worth running a specific 
 acquisition sequence geared to get the most out of all the hippocampus 
 structural measures? 
 
 Thanks and regards,
