[Freesurfer] Freesurfer flips brains?

2012-01-18 Thread Frank
Dear all, I must be missing something really obvious, but it seems my brains are flipped. What I do: - I have a highres structural scan, nii file format - I convert it to a surface using recon-all - Coregister the highres structural to the functional scan, so it is in the voxel size and

Hello Doug, Ah! this was the root of the problem. A conflict was generated with the Stanford Vistasoft toolbox, which also contains a 'basename.m' file. Once removed from the Matlab path list, selxavg3-sess behaves normally. Thank you for the help! Kind Regards, Ivan Alvarez PhD Student

Hi Frank, we'll need a lot more detail. Are you doing all of this in FreeSurfer? What are your command lines? How are you evaluating whether volumes are flipped? doug Léoné wrote: Dear all, I must be missing something really obvious, but it seems my brains are flipped. What I do: - I

[Freesurfer] Cortical thickness information

Hey Bruce, Thank you for the informations. May I ask you few additional questions? A) In your answer to my first question you wrote you can also just look at the map itself without averaging over an ROI. What does this mean in reference to calculation of the cortical thickness. B) For my

OpenMP (depending how efficiently FreeSurfer can be parallelized) would be a great benefit here. I have no idea what's causing the centos4 vs. 5 results, but it might be interesting to start collecting some performance data if enough people are interested. All the benchmark numbers I've

Pedro, I've got a run going with the Intel compilers now (I'm assuming that's what you meant?). Besides producing faster code, it will be interesting to see whether the compilers have a noticeable result on the results. Malcolm On Wednesday 18 January 2012 12:14:42 Pedro Paulo de Magalhães

[Freesurfer] How to define the FA-mask

Dear all, On the FS Tutorial/Diffusion the FA masked is defined as: mri_mask $TUTORIAL_DIR/$subj/dtrecon/fa.nii \ $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subj/mri/wmparc2diff.mgz \ $TUTORIAL_DIR/$subj/dtrecon/fa-masked.mgzand when it follows the resampling on the CVS space I see: mri_vol2vol --targ

Malcolm, I think it will be at least 10% faster. I messed with the Intel compiler a couple years ago, but they wanted to charge a yearly fee for its usage (mgh doesnt qualify as an academic user), so we nixed using that compiler. also, fyi, I was unable to get the AMD compiler to build the code

Hi, Many thanks for your reply. Can ypu please advise me how  I should calculate the mask if I want to do the masking based upon intensity values found in the fa image? I tried to run (without wmparc) but it gave me error: mri_mask $TUTORIAL_DIR/$subj/dtrecon/fa.nii \

fa-masked is a masked volume and not a segmentation file. A segmentation file contains labels that correspond to certain anatomical areas. The fa-masked file is the same as your fa volume but some background regions are eliminated from it using the mask volume. On Wed, 18 Jan 2012,

Is there a way to divide a surface label like V1 into equal parts (say 10 parts) either along its length or width and save each part as a separate label ? Drawing them in tkmedit is quite crude and not very accurate. Please let me know. Thanks Ri

Hi Ri I wrote mris_divide_parcellation to divide up annotation units along their primary eigenaxis. There isn't anything comparable for labels, so you'll need to convert the label to an annotation to use it cheers Bruce On Wed, 18 Jan 2012, Ritobrato Datta wrote: Is there a way to divide a
