Re: [Freesurfer] extracting global cortical thickness mean

Hi I found out the way to calculate global cortical mean. The procedure is as following just use mris_calc. mris_calc lh.avg_thickness stats in the fsaverage. Knut J On 07/27/2011 03:43 PM, Knut J Bjuland wrote: Hi. I am trying to extract the mean cortical thickness in a group, and the

Thank you Douglas for your suggestions! If I use mris_anatomical_stats, would I perform the following procedure? - To run mri_label2label to all the subjects of my comparison - To run mris_anatomical_stats. I would obtain the volume of the labels in each subject - Mean volume of all the subjects

Hi Jessica, I'd recommend to run the -base and the -long on these and see what happens. If you then still see these differences, maybe we can take a look at your data to figure out what causes this. It could be that the WM segmentation fails somewhere. Anyway, the longitudinal stream should help

[Freesurfer] orig surface button

Hi Bruce, Thanks again for your valuable information. I was trying to click on my orig surface button in the interface but it is not active. Is there a way that I can enable this option/button? I see more buttons are not active. How I can fix this? Second, using tkmedit, how I can see the

Hi Antonella, if it's not active then it probably failed loading the orig surface. Can you send us the output of the tkmedit command? There is a multi-view button you can click in tkmedit to show 3 orthogonal views at the same time. cheers Bruce On Thu, 28 Jul 2011, Antonella Kis wrote:

Hi Antonella, When you load the files that those buttons are associated with, then they become active. When you loaded the orig surfaces, the orig surface button still was not active? If you choose any button besides the Navigate button, when you left click, that will move the cursor (red

Yolanda, don't run mris_anatomical_stats on fsaverage. You should map the label to each individual with mri_label2label, then use mris_anatomical_stats. Sorry for not being clearer eariler. doug Yolanda Vives wrote: Hi Bruce, That's the error: limiting computations to label

Hi, I have two questions regarding ICV correction for total hippocampal volume (from aseg.stats) and for hippocampal subfield volumes. 1) Total hippocampal volume: I am using the mri_label_volume script that uses the atlas normalization factor as an estimate for total ICV two T1-weighted scans

Hi Jessica the problem may be data quality! At 1.5T with a volume coil we would typically get 2 scans to average. A TR of 14 is pretty short and will reduce the SNR, and a TE of 6 is quite long and will reduce contrast. Can you send us a tif of one slice to look at? Bruce On Thu, 28 Jul
