[Freesurfer] Anyone successfully performed probtrackx2 whole brain tractography?

2012-10-30 Thread Alistair Perry
To FSL/Freesurfer experts, I have been trying for the last few weeks to perform whole-brain probabilistic tractography using FSL's probtrackx2. After solving a number of issues, I believe I am calling the command correctly, but it has already taken 5 days and wondering if I am going in the right d

so your recon-all command line was: recon-all -s /usr/local/mridata/D_New_Patient/Lobe_Analysis/CON1 -calabel usually -s just takes the subject name/identifier, not the whole path, and why are you only rerunning calabel? I don't see what the error is, but this is an unusual usage On Tue, 30

See http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/RepeatedMeasuresAnova This is for a single group. For two groups with 3 time points. In your case, you only have 2 time points (so no TP1-vs-TP3 variable). To account for the 2nd group, create two variables: TP1-vs-TP2.Group1 and TP1-vs-TP2.Group2. If

Hi Andi - The most common problem that would cause all or almost all pathways to fail is an incorrect gradient table. You can do a sanity check on that by looking at the primary eigenvectors from your tensor fit (dmri/dtifit_V1.nii.gz). See also my answer to Fernando earlier today. Hope this

Hi Fernando - Thanks for uploading your data. Looking at the primary directions from tensor fit on the data that you sent me (see screenshot), they seem to be off by a 90 degree angle from what you'd expect them. This means that your gradient table is probably off as well. Hope this helps, a
