Re: [Freesurfer] FW: TRACULA some fiber volumes being too small

2012-11-28 Thread Anastasia Yendiki


Hi Fernando - I looked at your data and changing the sign of the z 
coordinate in your gradient table gave me eigenvectors that looked fine in 
both fslview and freeview. Why you would get eigenvectors that look 
different in freeview and fslview before flipping z but not after is still 
a mystery to me, but at this point I'd just try starting clean, changing 
the sign in the 3rd column of your gradient table, and testing the whole 
pipeline on a test subject to see if that fixes things. Let me know how it 
goes!

Dear Anastasia,
When I open the dtifit_V1 and dtifit_FA with Freeview the vector directions 
actually are OK, but when I open them with FSLview they are similar to your 
screen-shot. Here I also send a screen-shot with the comparison between the two 
softwares in each monitor.
Best,
Fernando

Re: [Freesurfer] FW: TRACULA some fiber volumes being too small

2012-10-18 Thread Anastasia Yendiki


Hi Fernando - Thank you for your kind words. You can indeed try the reinit 
option as Christofer suggested when one of the pathways looks like a 
single curve and not like a volume.


However, because some of your other pathways in the screenshots look a bit 
funky too, I would also check that there was nothing wrong with the 
gradient directions. An easy way to check that is by looking at the 
eigenvectors from the tensor fit (dmri/dtifit_V1.nii.gz). Although tracula 
itself doesn't use tensors, if there's something wrong with the gradient 
directions, it'll show up in the tensor fit.


If you're not sure how to check, you can upload all tracula-related 
directories of your subject here and I'll take a look:

Hope this helps,

All finished without errors, but there seems to be a problem with CC Forceps 
Mayor volume, which gave very small values. Is this OK or I made some mistake? 
First I tested with some patient and other fiber tracks also gave very small 
volumes. I attached some pictures and the dmrirc and trac-all log files.

Hi Fernando - Thanks for uploading your data. Looking at the primary 
directions from tensor fit on the data that you sent me (see screenshot), 
they seem to be off by a 90 degree angle from what you'd expect them. This 
means that your gradient table is probably off as well.


Hope this helps,

Re: [Freesurfer] FW: TRACULA some fiber volumes being too small

2012-10-31 Thread Anastasia Yendiki


If FSL isn't happy with the directions, that's going to be fatal b/c
trac-all relies on bedpostx running properly. I'm going to look into this 
further to try to figure out what it is about this data that's causing 
the discrepancy.
