Re: [Freesurfer] Tracula: missing or incomplete tracts

2015-03-27 Thread Versace, Amelia
Ops... I did not see these replies before! Thank you, both!!
Christopher, the command line works great. I also found the --viewport and the 
--ss, which is exactly what I was looking for! 
I will try the dev version that Anastasia suggested. 
Thanks a lot, Amelia

Hi Amelia - Sorry, not that I know of. Perhaps this can be a feature request 
for Ruopeng to add to freeview :)

BTW, freeview in 5.3 had a bug with the vector display for some input image 
orientations, but this has been fixed in the dev version (that you can download 
on the web site).

 manual section of the (lines) is needed.
 freeview -dti V1 FA   does it too (with different xyz convention),

 Is there any way to produce this image using command line only? Thanks

 Hi Eileen - It looks like there was a A-P flip introduced to your gradient 
 vectors. (See screenshot of the tensor eigenvectors. Because they look right 
 in the coronal view but wrong in the sagittal and axial views, that's why I'm 
 assuming the flip is in the A-P direction.) To fix this you need to multiply 
 the y coordinate of your gradient vectors with -1 and rerun.

 If there are still any cases of missing tracts, please look at the bottom of 
 your dmrirc file for instructions on how to use the reinit parameter (or 
 search for previous emails on that parameter in the archives).

 Note that your DWI voxel size is anisotropic (finer resolution in x/y than 
 z), this may cause bias in tractography, so I'd recommend that you switch to 
 isotropic resolution for future acquisitions if you have control over it.

 Hope this helps,

T1 to diffusion space, and then dilating it by a couple of voxels.


If you upload an example data set for me here, I can take a look:

Please include all tracula-related directories of the subject (dmri, 
dlabel, etc).


Thanks!

Hi - I'm having difficulty with missing or incomplete tracts most of my 
subjects. I'm hoping for suggestions on where I can look for data
problems.  The majority of my subjects have at least one missing/incomplete 
tract, but the specific problematic tract varies across
subjects (e.g., one subject has a missing L.Uncinate; another subject has a 
missing Forceps Major; another is missing the ILF bilaterally,
etc.).  For my problematic tracts, the path.pd.nii.gz is a single line/curve 
rather than the diffuse volumetric distribution.  I'm not
sure how to correct this.

I have checked my eigenvectors -- the lines appear to be pointing in the 
correct directions in my dtifit_V1 -- so I believe my gradient
table is correct

I've checked my images for motion via visual inspection and by excluding any 
subjects with dwi_motion outliers in AvgTranslation,
AvgRotation, PercentBadSlices, and AvgDropoutScore.

I inspected the nodif_brain_mask.nii.gz  to look for chunks of missing brain 
and did not identify any problems here.

I've tried increasing the number of control points for each tract.

I'd very much appreciate any suggestions on how to troubleshoot next.

Thank you,
Eileen.
