Re: [Freesurfer] Tracula: Small Tracts

Hi Tyler - In general this means that for some reason the pathway doesn't move at all from the location where it's initialized when the algorithm is run. There are a few different reasons why that'd happen, the mask being only one of them. If you could find the dmri_paths command line in

Thanks, Tyler. It looks like the initial pathway is problematic in that it goes off the white matter (look at the Reject due to lines in the log for exact voxel coords where this happens). This could mean that the subject is not well aligned to the atlas in that area, or that you just got

Anastasia, Rerunning with the reinit = 1 option worked great. One last question. If I want to compare tracts across subjects, should I rerun every subject with the reinitialization, or is it ok to only rerun the subjects/tracts that need it? Thanks for all you help. -Tyler Thanks, Tyler. It

Great! You just need to rerun cases where the original initialization was bad. On Thu, 1 Dec 2011, bla...@artsci.wustl.edu wrote: Anastasia, Rerunning with the reinit = 1 option worked great. One last question. If I want to compare tracts across subjects, should I rerun every subject with

[Freesurfer] Tracula: Small Tracts

2011-11-30 Thread Tyler Blazey
Hi List, I recently ran a group of around 70 subjects through trac-all. I have started to check the results, and have noticed that Tracula will often produce a tract with a really small volume and a posterior distribution that consists of just 0s and 1000s. When this occurs, the end point

Hi Tyler - Sometimes this happens if the brain mask (which will come either from the FS recon or from the DWIs themselves, depending on your settings) is missing part of that tract (usually one of the end region). Have you checked your brain masks? a.y On Wed, 30 Nov 2011, Tyler Blazey

Hi Anastasia, Thanks so much for your quick reply. As far as I can tell the masks seem fine. There was a small amount of erosion around the edge of the brain when the recon mask was used. However, the end points of the tract were still within the mask. Just in case I reran trac-all with the
