Re: [Freesurfer] Viewing vitamin E capsules?

2015-10-19 Thread Bruce Fischl

Hi Seth

do you really want to include the capsule within the brain mask? You can 
always view it and find its coordinate by visualizing the orig.mgz. If you 
really want it in the brainmask.mgz you can clone it back in using freeview 
or tkmedit


cheers

Dear users,
I have been using FreeSurfer for a while now, but am working in a new lab
and their goals fall outside of my realm of experience. 
We are using both MRI imaging as well as FNIRs. We have multiple vitamin E
capsules placed during both and would like to be able to view them in
FreeSurfer so that we can better estimate the projected cortical
localization of these capsules. 
Using the generic recon-all -s -i -all we are unable to see our capsules, as
they are most likely eliminated during the skull strip step. I see that I
can change the threshold with "-wsmore", but am wondering if this is really
the best way to accomplish what we are trying to do.
Is there any way to include our capsules without excluding the skull strip?
If not could how would you recommend adjusting the threshold.
I tried excluding the skulls trip step with
recon-all -s -i -autorecon1 -noskullstrip
but then when I tried to view it using free view it was unable to open due
to the lack of the brain mask.mgz.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration,
Seth H

Why not just open the T1.mgz and load the FreeSurfer surfaces? Is there 
a more specific goal?

[Freesurfer] Viewing vitamin E capsules?

2015-10-19 Thread Hutton, Seth
Dear users,

I have been using FreeSurfer for a while now, but am working in a new lab and 
their goals fall outside of my realm of experience.
We are using both MRI imaging as well as FNIRs. We have multiple vitamin E 
capsules placed during both and would like to be able to view them in 
FreeSurfer so that we can better estimate the projected cortical localization 
of these capsules.
Using the generic recon-all -s -i -all we are unable to see our capsules, as 
they are most likely eliminated during the skull strip step. I see that I can 
change the threshold with "-wsmore", but am wondering if this is really the 
best way to accomplish what we are trying to do.
Is there any way to include our capsules without excluding the skull strip? If 
not could how would you recommend adjusting the threshold.
I tried excluding the skulls trip step with

the lack of the brain mask.mgz.
