Hi Abel, no, there's no automated tool for this without special purpose acquistions. You'll need to edit the brainmask.mgz to remove the dura that the pial surface is grabbing. sorry :< Bruce On Thu, 13 Dec 2007, abel cruz vadell wrote: Hi everyone Checking the automatic pial segmentati

[Freesurfer] General editing questions

2007-12-13 Thread Chris Watson
Hello, I've been looking through the archives and still have some questions about getting the best data for GM volume, WM volume, and the volumes of each sub-cortical structure. This is lengthy, but I'm trying to save a lot of future man-hours that I wasted on the first dataset I was doing. *

[Freesurfer] reading DICOM fields

2007-12-13 Thread Michael Harms
Hello, Will any of the FS utilities read a Siemens DICOM file and dump the (complete) DICOM header information to the terminal or text file? I've looked at the options for mri_info and unpacksdcmdir, but as far as I can tell neither have this capability. We have a handy Sun executable that can d

mri_probedicom will dump a lot of stuff, but not everything. If you know what you want, you can have it dump particular tags. Michael Harms wrote: Hello, Will any of the FS utilities read a Siemens DICOM file and dump the (complete) DICOM header information to the terminal or text file? I've

[Freesurfer] using BET prior to recon-all?

Hi Simon, yes, you would need to skip the watershed step (it is our skull stripping), or better yet, replace it with bet, since at some points we need the skull on e.g. to do TIV estimation. Do you find our skullstripping is failing? In our hands the current version is extremely robust - worki

Hi Binyam, for cortical analysis it shouldn't be an issue. Subcortically the atlas does consist of adults, but in our experience it only makes a difference at younger ages than the ones you are imaging. We to provide tools for building your own atlas if you are interested. cheers, Bruce On T

[Freesurfer] does one need a separate pediatric atlas for freesurfer?

Freesurfers, I had a couple of questions regarding your atlas. I'm working with a children and young adult subject population (ages 7-18). I'm interested in anatomical measures such as cortical thickness, and volumes of different structures. What are your thoughts on what atlas to use for thes
