DICOM conversion
by Gergely Orsi 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Dear All, I'm writing this here because I think some of you might be able to help. We're doing presurgical planning and surgical navigation based on fMRI. So far it was simple, but now, the program that we used for such evaluation was not able to evaluate the fmri, because of the poor SNR, so we evaluated with FSL, and got excellent results. Now, at the end, I have (after several conversion, transformation etc) 1 MPRAGE, and 4 coregistered fMRI images (only the tresholded Zstat images, for overlay), all 5 of them as a separate single dicom file. We use a GE machine for the navigation, that requires an MPRAGE (we got it ) and the overlays (4 fMRI in this case), if you have any. The main problem that it accepts only DICOM series (so 5 dicom series would be needed), but we have 5 single dicom files. Is it possible to make a DICOM series from a single dicom file? Any conversion tool? Thx, Gergo

Paired Analysis, Smoothing Step
by Stidd, Reva (NIH/NIMH) [F] 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi there, I've got a sample with T1s and T2s that I'm trying to compare. I did the entire longitudinal stream protocol, and am now doing the paired analysis protocol. I'm stuck on the Spatial Smoothing step: I've only gotten either a ">" or a message reading, "ERROR: Option -sval unknown" Is there any reason why?

ANN - SVM, Alzheimer's Disease and FreeSurfer

Hi, We have published another paper using FreeSurfer, maybe you can add it to the Article page in the Wiki http://iospress.metapress.com/content/r1533322r7481q35/?p=2cecbdd44e114a5fb… <http://iospress.metapress.com/content/r1533322r7481q35/?p=2cecbdd44e114a5fb…> *Use of SVM Methods with Surface-Based Cortical and Volumetric Subcortical Measurements to Detect Alzheimer's Disease* Authors Pedro Paulo de Magalhães Oliveira Jr.1, Ricardo Nitrini2, Geraldo Busatto3, Carlos Buchpiguel4, João Ricardo Sato1, Edson Amaro Jr.1 1NIF – Neuroimagem Funcional, Departamento de Radiologia da Faculdade de Medicina do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil 2Departamento de Neurologia da Faculdade de Medicina do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil 3LIM21, Instituto de Psiquiatria da Faculdade de Medicina do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil 4Medicina Nuclear, Departamento de Radiologia da Faculdade de Medicina do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil Abstract: Here, we examine morphological changes in cortical thickness of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) using image analysis algorithms for brain structure segmentation and study automatic classification of AD patients using cortical and volumetric data. Cortical thickness of AD patients (n=14) was measured using MRI cortical surface-based analysis and compared with healthy subjects (n=20). Data was analyzed using an automated algorithm for tissue segmentation and classification. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) was applied over the volumetric measurements of subcortical and cortical structures to separate AD patients from controls. The group analysis showed cortical thickness reduction in the superior temporal lobe, parahippocampal gyrus, and enthorhinal cortex in both hemispheres. We also found cortical thinning in the isthmus of cingulate gyrus and middle temporal gyrus at the right hemisphere, as well as a reduction of the cortical mantle in areas previously shown to be associated with AD. We also confirmed that automatic classification algorithms (SVM) could be helpful to distinguish AD patients from healthy controls. Moreover, the same areas implicated in the pathogenesis of AD were the main parameters driving the classification algorithm. While the patient sample used in this study was relatively small, we expect that using a database of regional volumes derived from MRI scans of a large number of subjects will increase the SVM power of AD patient identification.

RAS to Vertex Index
by Oya, Hiroyuki 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Dear EXPERTS, I have a coordinate set (RAS) in a volume and would like to map those coordinates in a surface of same subjects. Is there a good way to convert Volume RAS to vertex index directly rather than searching with mouse? Thank you. Hiroyuki
