[Freesurfer] g-w.pct vs. g-w. ratio
Dear FreeSurfer Support team and Community I am wondering if someone can give me an explanation of the difference between g-w.pct and g:w ratio (as calculated by; fscalc lh.gm.mgh div lh.wm.mgh -o lh.ratio.mgh) Will both these measures essentially measure the relationship between grey and white matter signal intensity but in a different way?

Re: [Freesurfer] g-w.pct vs. g-w. ratio
g-w.pct is computed as pct = 100*(w-g)/((w+g)/2) in the pctsurfcon script On 12/03/2015 12:18 PM, Andrews, Derek wrote: > Dear FreeSurfer Support team and Community > > I am wondering if someone can give me an explanation of the difference > between g-w.pct and g:w ratio (as calculated by; fscalc lh.gm.mgh div > lh.wm.mgh -o lh.ratio.mgh) > Will both these measures essentially measure the relationship between > grey and white matter signal intensity but in a different way? > > > Best, Derek > > > > > *Derek Sayre Andrews, MSc* > PhD Candidate > > The Sackler Institute for Translational Neurodevelopment > > Department of Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Sciences > > Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London > > Telephone: +44 (0)20 7848 5701 > Email: derek.andr...@kcl.ac.uk > > > > > ___ > Freesurfer mailing list > Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu > https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer -- Douglas N.
