Nam, The documentation describing how to create your own atlas is the bit that is a 'work-in-progress'. The binary mris_ca_train is used to create your own atlas, following which the binary mris_ca_label will label your subjects. These binaries already exist in the Freesurfer 'dev' distribution.

If it is in progress, it means that it is not usable by end-users yet? If so, when would the how-to guide be available? (This would be a wonderful tool for my project in which I need to see a particular region labeled, i.e., lateral portion of the areas between parietal and occipital lobes. I am

Lars, The wiki page describing atlas-building is a work-in-progress, so it's not yet a how-to guide, but the essential information exists. See: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CorticalParcellation If you decide to try to construct your own atlas, it would be helpful to email me parti

Hi Bruce and Lars, Could this be done as a volume atlas and be segmented out by the subcortical segmentation? That may deal with the lack of high resolution images necessary for cerebellar parcellation. And I'm not completely sure, but Lars probably has his data as a volume segmentation if he used

Hi Glenn, we have some estimated total intracranial volume (eTIV) in the new stuff using something that Randy Buckner showed recently - the determinant of the tal transform is predictive of TIV. Should be out soon. It's not clear however that thickness needs to be corrected by it. The MNI fol

you mean by ICV? No, although in our new versions we compute ICV/TIV. Do you mean volume labels or surface labels? Volume of volume labels can be computed with mri_label_volume, surfaces can be given to mris_anatomical_stats -l cheers, Bruce On Thu, 8 Dec 2005, Glenn Lawyer wrote: Hi, W

depends why you needed to improve the talairach. If it's just for reporting purposes and the filling/intensity normalization all worked fine then you don't need to. cheers, Bruce On Thu, 8 Dec 2005, Lars M. Rimol wrote: Hi, After having redone mri_convert with an edited brain.mgz as input fil

Hi Lars, I guess in principal you could use it via the standard route for spherical morphing if you segmented it yourself. In general we haven't done a lot with cerebellum as you need something like .3 mm voxels in plane to resolve the majority of the foliations. Could someone point Lars at t

Hi,We have manual tracings of the cerebellum (approx. 100 brains), which were done in the Brains2 software. Could these tracings be used to construct an atlas for use with FreeSurfer? If so, which file format would be most convenient? Analyze?   (The data have been described in: Okugawa G, Sedvall
