Re: [Freesurfer] Total White matter and CSF value Calculation
by M Janani 09 Aug '17

Hi Douglas, Thanks for your support. From the below conclusion, can I say Total ventricular CSF = (lh + rh) Lateral-Ventricle + = (lh + rh)Inf-Lat-Vent + (lh + rh)choroid-plexus + 3rd-Ventricle + 4th-Ventricle + 5th Ventricle + CSF. Also Is it correct to compute Total CSF using the below mentioned formula Total CSF = Intracranial Volume - (Total white matter + Total Gray matter) Regards, Janani ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Douglas Greve<https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu&q=from…> Mon, 31 Jul 2017 07:48:02 -0700<https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu&q=date…> On 7/31/17 3:12 AM, M Janani wrote: Hi Team, Could you please confirm whether the below mentioned formulas to compute Total WM and ventricular CSF are correct 1.Total White Matter = CerebralWhiteMatterVol + (lh+rh) Cerebellum White Matter looks right, though some times people will include brainstem as part of WM 2.Total ventricular CSF = (lh + rh) Lateral-Ventricle + = (lh + rh)Inf-Lat-Vent + (lh + rh)choroid-plexus + 3rd-Ventricle + 4th-Ventricle There is a 5th ventricle (which I think is basically the aqueduct).

Freesurfer 6.0 and 5.3 differences in eTIV but not in supratentorial volume
by Lucette Cysique 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hello all FYI I have found non-negligeable differences in eTIV for 5.3 versus 6.0 in my healthy young sample It is probably due to the cerebellum computation changes (presented in released notes for 6.0) Unsurprisingly the supratentorial volumes 5.3 versus 6.0 are very similar (all was checked by simple correlations) Could people who have good knowledge of cerebellum studies comment on the reliability of freesurfer 5.3 in assessing size of the cerebellum versus manual tracing? This may need to be redone for version 6.0. Regards Lucette Lucette A.

Urgent help with stats in FreeSurfer
by Martin Juneja 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hi, One of my papers is under review showing significant differences in cortical surface area between healthy controls and patients. In this paper, regarding statistical results, for multiple comparison correction, I ran Monte Carlo simulations using following command: mri_glmfit-sim \ --cache 4 neg \ --cwp 0.05\ --2spaces In the paper, I reported that multiple comparisons were corrected at p < 0.05 using Monte Carlo simulations. I also reported cluster sizes (number of voxels) of all clusters which survived multiple comparison correction. I checked literature and found that that's how people report cluster results after running analysis in FreeSurfer. One of the reviewers asked- Did you consider any constraints on findings (specifically cluster size) before considering the finding significant? Could you please help me in understanding this question and how can this be answered? In this paper: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/pbc.25386/asset/pbc25386.pdf?v…, authors reported that - "The data were tested against an empirical null distribution of maximum cluster size across 10,000 iterations using Z Monte Carlo simulations as implemented in FreeSurfer [31,32] synthesized with a cluster-forming threshold of P < 0.05 (two-sided), yielding clusters fully corrected for multiple comparisons across the surfaces. Clusterwise corrected P < 0.05 (two-sided) was regarded significant." I assume that that's what reviewer is demanding me to report in my paper. I would really appreciate any help.
