[Freesurfer] using volume label mask in mri_vol2surf

2013-04-14 Thread Fred Dick
Dear all I am painting some higher-res anatomical data from a volume to a surface, and want to use a mask that excludes the vessels. (The same data but 1x1x1 conformed were used to create the surface). I've created a binary label in the same space >> mri_cor2label --i ./R2Mask.nii.gz --l ./R

Hi Fred, that mask is an inclusive mask, not an exclusive mask. Try inverting you mask. doug On 4/14/13 4:31 PM, Fred Dick wrote: Dear all I am painting some higher-res anatomical data from a volume to a surface, and want to use a mask that excludes the vessels. (The same data but 1x1x1 c

Hi Doug I've actually tried both inclusive and exclusive and have failed - just checked again in tkmedit that the label was coming up correctly and it was. Just to double-check - the label should be in the space of the --mov, right? Thanks! Fred Hi Fred, that mask is an inclusive mask, no

Oh, the label should be a surface label. mri_cor2label creates a volume label (basically it just means that each label point corresponds to a 1mm3 cube instead of a verex -- the vertex numbers should all be -1). Try running vol2surf on the mask (using nearest interp) to create a surface mask.

Ah, OK, makes sense - should have guessed, sorry, vol2surf behaved so agreeably with the vertex-free mask! Shall make that surf mask now, thanks much, Fred On 14 Apr 2013, at 22:56, Douglas Greve wrote: > > Oh, the label should be a surface label. mri_cor2label creates a volume label > (b

Hey again sorry, I seem not to be able to accomplish this very simple thing! First wrote out mask as .w file using vol2surf, but mri_cor2label couldn't read ('mri_read(): couldn't determine type of file ./rh.R2MaskBrain.w'). Then tried writing out as curv using the following command: mri_vol2

Hi Fred, why do you want to save it as a wfile? We're trying to phase wfiles out. Can you use mgh format? doug On 4/15/13 12:56 PM, Fred Dick wrote: Hey again sorry, I seem not to be able to accomplish this very simple thing! First wrote out mask as .w file using vol2surf, but mri_cor2label

Hey I wrote out to .w since I couldn't write to curv. (And I'm old fashioned!) But actually it's because I am really behind the times and forgot that .mgh was also used for surface data. And yup, this worked fine. So in answer to my question 'Bug or stupidity' - the latter! Thanks Doug, Fred
