Hi Bruce,

Thanks a lot for this.  What is the difference between RAS and surface 
RAS?


Do I need to convert the surface RAS into RAS to be dealing in the 
volume space?

I don't understand how to recover the vertex index.

In Freeview I can see the vertex index number.  When I load in

2021-04-27 Thread Fischl, Bruce
All the surface vertices are just listed in order. The patch keep track of 
which vertex it corresponds to (so you can just use pial_surface[patch.vno] or 
something).

The coordinates are documented on our website and are “surface ras”.

You can then get the xyz of a given vertex by reading
whitexyz = MRIread('lh.white.xyz.mgz');

2. Additionally, I was wondering if there is a way to display the surface 
images through Matlab?  What would be the best way to show the surface with the 
electrons overlaid on it?
I know there are ways, but I don't know their details

The version of Freesurfer and the platform that I'm using is outlined below:
1) FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-darwin-macOS-7.1.1-20200811-8b40551

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical surface analysis

2021-04-07 Thread Fischl, Bruce
How do you read it in? If you are using the read_patch.m that we distribute it 
should be stored in patch.vno if you do:

>> patch = read_patch(path_file_name)

Hi Bruce,

Thanks so much for your quick reply, I really appreciate your help on this.

I don't understand how to recover the vertex index.

In Freeview I can see the vertex index number.  When I load in the data to 
MATLAB as discussed - the only thing that I have access to are the coordinates 
of the vertices - not the vertex index.  How can I recover the vertex indices 
as well?

Thanks again.

Kind Regards,
Ornaith

Hi Ornaith

The mapping uses the vertex index. That is, the vertex index is stored in the 
flatmap, so you should always be able to recover it, then look up the location 
of that vertex on any other surface (of the same hemisphere/subject)

Cheers

Hello FreeSurfer developers,

Thanks a lot for your help.  I have initialised the pialxyz the way you 
suggested and made the flatmap in MatLab using the read_patch function 
(screenshots attached).  I still don't understand how to convert between the 
two.  For example how to see what point (x,y,z) on the pial surface corresponds 
to what (x,y) point on the flatmap.

Re: [Freesurfer] cortical surface area

Thanks.

I ran this command:
mris_anatomical_stats subjectID lh pial
It gave me a total surface area of 115007 mm^2

I also tried the following command from within the 'label' directory:
mris_anatomical_stats -l lh.cortex.label -f lh.cortex.stats -b subjectID lh pial
It gave me a total surface area 109458 mm^2

Which is the correct method and value for total cortical surface area?

Re: [Freesurfer] cortical surface pattern matching

2016-06-21 Thread Bruce Fischl
Hi Greg

you could threshold then look at Hausdorff distance of the blobs. Or you 
could smooth before computing correlation as that will take spatial stuff 
into account.

Or if you have a patch that you want to cross-correlate against the rest of 
the surface you could do it on the sphere, although that's a bit of a pain 
since you have to take the metric tensor into account

cheers

[Freesurfer] cortical surface pattern matching

2016-06-20 Thread GREGORY R KIRK
Hi,


has anyone created functionality to compare the spatial correlation/similarity

of two patterns in the form of cortical surface overlays. What I am looking at 
is a have

scalar at every point on the cortical surface. obviously this is just a list of 
vertices with

a scalar value associated with each. obviously I can map these both onto an 
average cortical surface and then simply compute the correlation of both of 
these.


but of course pattern similarity is an inherently spatial problem and for 
cortical

surfaces a 2 dimensional spatial correlation or other similarity metric would be

what you want. Here the order of vertices in a vertex list maps somewhat like a

string around the cortex and so the next wrap around you have vertices which are

adjacent on the surface but distant by the metric of vertex count.


is there any implementation of a similarity metric which takes this coordinate 
problem into account. In my measure every vertex across both hemi has a value 
and so i am not interested in something for a small localized patch.


any thoughts appreciated

Re: [Freesurfer] cortical surface area measurement and vertex-wise analysis

2014-10-14 Thread Anderson M. Winkler
Hi Emma,

Please, see below:

On 13 October 2014 20:11, Emma Thompson vonecono...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi Anderson,
 Thank you for your paper. I guess I am confused. I have analyzed my
 structural data with qdec, specifically looking at a measure of cortical
 thickness and volume. I'm considering looking at surface area as well but
 was told it wasn't a very good measure using qdec, I have no other
 information really. Could you speak to whether or not this measure is valid
 in so far as one runs it using qdec?



The data that is used in qdec comes from mris_preproc, which uses
vertexwise interpolation with Jacobian correction for local
stretches/shrinkages. The amount of area is preserved globally, which is
desirable, although locally it's something difficult to achieve. If without
any smoothing, the spatial correlation between mris_preproc and the method
in the paper is about 0.65, and the correlation at a given vertex, across
subjects, varies spatially. Note, however, that the smoothing -- that is
applied by default -- should increase the correlation vastly, but I don't
have the exact numbers at hand to provide yet.

For area, as well as for volume, the method shown in the paper is really
the gold standard: it's pycnophylactic and thus guarantees that the amount
of area is preserved locally everywhere in the brain during the
interpolation. It's the same method used in GIS applications for
geoprocessing. The downside is that the current implementation, using
Matlab, is too slow (for the ico7, it can well take 10-15h per hemisphere
in a single CPU).




 Also, in your opinion, would it be redundant to look at surface area in
 addition to measures of cortical thickness and cortical volume?



Actually, the redundant bit here is volume. Area and thickness are
uncorrelated phenotypically and genetically, and each provide different
pieces of information (this is shown here
http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhp026 and here
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811909013160).
Volume is a mixture of both, in proportions that vary across the cortical
mantle. I would not consider using volume given that thickness and area are
available. Moreover, volume is also an areal quantity in the sense that
it requires the same methods for interpolation as surface area itself, so
all that is said above about area applies also to cortical volumes.

Hope this helps!

All the best,

Anderson

expansion/contraction and absolute areal measurements assessed at each face
of the surface (i.e., facewise), which can, after interpolation, be
converted to vertexwise to facilitate analysis using current tools (e.g.,
mri_glmfit or qdec), without loss of areal quantities.

All the best,

Anderson

 Hi Emma,

 I might not be the only one who is unsure what you mean by a vertex-wise
 cortical surface area measure.  Do you mean something like what is
 illustrated in figures 2 and 3 here:

 http://www.pnas.org/content/107/29/13135.figures-only

 ... which is similar, but not identical to the local gyrification index?

 If so, would you use this measure on surfaces before or after registration
 to a target atlas?

Re: [Freesurfer] cortical surface in MNI space?

2008-04-15 Thread Mishkin Derakhshan
Hi David,

I use both the MINC world and the freesurfer world.

One thing which may be of use to you or others, is to get from the
surface co-ordinates, back to world-coordinates (or scanner RAS), so
that minc tools etc. display things properly. To do this, you need to
apply a simple translation.

ie. for native.mnc which was your input into freesurfer do this command:
mri_info --cras native.mnc
my output was
-2.35588 52.7907 24.8145

Then you can create the following transformation matrix:
1 0 0 -2.35588
0 1 0 52.7907
0 0 0 24.8145
0 0 0 1

If you then convert your surfaces to ascii:
mris_convert lh.pial lh.pial.asc

You can then transform each co-ordinate point in lh.pial.asc with the
above transformation matrix and then your surfaces will be in MNI
world co-cordinates. (these are referred to as scanner RAS on the
freesurfer wiki coordinate page).

From there, if you have a transformation that already maps your
subject to mni152, then you can apply that transformation.

I think annother way, would be to use the information provided in:
$FREESURFER_HOME/average/mni152.register.dat.
I'm assuming lines 5-9 of that file are a transformation that will
move you from mni152 space to fsaverage (avg305) space. (though im not
sure if that is moving you from a SurfaceRAS to SurfaceRAS space or
just from  RAS to RAS or what?)
If FreeSurfer calculates the transformation matrix required to get
from your subject space(native, or RAS, or SurfaceRAS) to fsaverage
(RAS or SurfaceRAS) space, then you could probably combine those
transformations to get what you want. Unfortunately, I don't have a
good enough grasp of the coordinate system yet to guide you through
this process. Perhaps Doug can guide me in the right direction?

If you are interested in any of the other things, feel free to contact
me as I have some tools to convert FreeSurfer outputs to MINC outputs
(.mnc, .obj).

hope that helps,
mishkin

in MNI space). What is the best way to accomplish this? I already have 
the subject's freesurfed output (if any of those files can be of use). 
Also, if a pial surface already exists for one of the standard brains 
out there, that would also be of use.


Thanks!

[Freesurfer] cortical surface in MNI space?

2008-04-12 Thread Stark, David Ernest
Hi all,

I am new to Freesurfer and would like to generate a cortical (pial) surface of 
1 subject's brain, but I need the surface in MNI 152 space (this is for display 
purposes, so that I can overlay clusters already in MNI space). What is the 
best way to accomplish this? I already have the subject's freesurfed output (if 
any of those files can be of use). Also, if a pial surface already exists for 
one of the standard brains out there, that would also be of use.

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical surface contour plotting

2007-10-19 Thread Bruce Fischl
tkmedit finds ever triangle that intersects the viewing plane then 
computes the closed contour connecting them. Is that what you want?

Hi,

I can get all the ponits of the cortical surface in ascii format. Anyway I 
can plot the contour of the 3D surface on a plane? I tried to find all the 
points in one plane, but the order is not along the contour line. I can only 
plot the surface as dots, instead of lines in a 2D plane. I am wonderng 
how tkmedit plots the surface lines. Any freesurfer function can do this? 
Thanks.

[Freesurfer] Cortical surface tessellation and smoothing

2007-06-25 Thread Kai Li

Dear list,
   Is there a paper or any documentation describing how freesurfer 
tessellate and smooth cortical surfaces? In particular, does freesurfer 
use any specific variety of marching cube isosurface algorithm? Regular 
surface smoothing (like the Laplacian smoothing) may cause undesired 
surface shrinking. It looks that freesurfer does a good job on surface 
smothing. So I'm wondering what smoothing algorithm freesurfer employ.


Thanks,
Kai

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical surface tessellation and smoothing

2007-06-25 Thread Bruce Fischl

Hi Kai,

it was described in the Dale, et al. 1999 paper in NeuroImage, or maybe 
part in 
that and part in the 2nd part of it (Fischl et al., 1999 also NeuroImage). 
They are both on our wiki (surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki). We don't use 
marching cubes, but a custom tesselation algorithm. The surface smoothing 
is like a Laplacian, but the surface area of the inflated surface is 
constrained to be the same as the original surface.



cheers,
Bruce

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical surface measurement.

2006-04-19 Thread Bruce Fischl
yes, you can manually draw them in tksurfer, save them as a label file, 
then specify the label with -l label file name to 
mris_anatomical_stats.

Hello All,
Is it possible to find ROI based cortical surface measures using
freesurfer? I am interested in manually tracing ROI and then obtaining
thickness, surface area and curvature measures for the ROI. Is there a
way to do this in freesurfer?
Thank you
