[Freesurfer] mapping surface vertices to functional voxels

2011-02-10 Thread James Thompson
Hi Doug and list, I'm trying to map surface/mesh vertices (e.g. rh.pial) to voxels (cols, rows, slices) in a functional volume in matlab, and just wanted to a) get a check that what I'm doing sounds right and b) share it in case it's useful to anyone else (I searched the mailing list and found most

Hi Scott we don't usually recommend having any voxel dimension > 1.5mm, and try to be closer to 1mm iso. I'm surprised that your results have been positive so far. I doubt the thickness estimates will be terribly sensitive, but there's nothing but compute time to be lost by trying. cheers Bruc

Hi All, Is the following T1 sequence suitable for surface generation? "T1-weighted 3D SPGR (echo time 5 minimum; repetition time = 24 msec; flip angle = 30; field of view = 24 centimeters; slice thickness = 3 millimeters) collected in the axial plane." It's that 3 mm slice thickness that mos

Hi Yolanda, the first command maps the aseg from the "conformed" voxel geometry back to the voxel geometry on the scanner, and the second extracts the caudate from that volume. If you want the caudate in the conformed space, just use aseg.mgz in the mri_extract_label command instead of aseg-in

Dear freesurfer's, I have run a conventional recon-all process and I am interested in isolating the caudate from my subjects. I have applied the following commands: *./mri_label2vol --seg $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subj/mri/aseg.mgz --temp $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subj/mri/rawavg.mgz --o $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subj/mri/aseg-i

Hi Jason you can't get all the voxels onto the surface, as the surface is a 2D sheet cutting through a 3D volume. This is actually one of the big advantages of surface-based analysis as you avoid most of the regions that shouldn't have signal (e.g. ventricles, white matter, etc...). That said,

RhFFA_sphere.label when loaded on functional data seems to correspond to RhFFA_sphere.nii.gz when loaded on anatomical data. When the label is just loaded on the nii.gz file, they seem to overlap, but if they are both overlaid on an anatomical image, the label is far superior to the nii.gz mask. A

Dear Doug, Thank you! I was able to display on the freesurfer surface from a matlab array to surface pipeline. However, only a portion of my voxels showed up on the surface, presumable owing that the others fall in the white matter ... My question is: is there any way to override this so that
