Alignment for cutting planes
by Fornito, Alexander 03 May '05

03 May '05

Hi, I've been working with some images in their native space, and some of them are tilted with respect to the superior-inferior axis. Consequently, when I attempt to manually edit the cutting planes, the plane through the corups callosum does not neatly cleanly separate the two hemispheres (ie., some of the RH may get include with the LH or vice versa). Should all my images be aligned to a template (eg., the MNI brain) via DOF registration before I start creating surfaces in freesurfer, or is there some other solution to the problem? Thanks for your help, Alex

Thanks Doug, When I used mri_convert to convert *.dcm to *.hdr, the resulting *.hdr has anterior and posterior reversed. The top was posterior and the bottom was anterior. Is there any way to change, so that the top is anterior and the bottom is posterior?

MNI install
by 윤종철 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Dear. I installed freesurfer-2004-2-18 version, recently. I have trouble in installing MNI packages as install guideline. [root@kphe pubsw]# ls bin packages ln -s usr/lib/perl5 perl and then, unpacked mni packages under mni directory When I start mritotal, permission error was occured. [root@kphe freesurfer]# mritotal /usr/pubsw/packages/mni/current/bin/mritotal: Permission denied. But, all files in usr directory was already changed to root permission. -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 87070 Aug 10 2001 mritotal Except perl script, binary files like xfmri was working. I use Redhat Linux 9.0. I don't know what is the problem. Could you help me?

Thanks Doug, Is there a way of transforming all the *.dcm files into one-volume {img,hdr,mat} file? Nam. >>> Doug Greve <greve(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> 04/28/05 2:56 PM >>> Try mri_convert file.dcm f -ot spm where file.dcm is a dicom file in the series you want to convert (there is no special naming requirements -- in fact the file names can be random). The output will be f001.{img,hdr,mat} f002.{img,hdr,mat} doug Joongnam Yang wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am sorry, since I might have missed the answer. > My question is, the following question by Mr. Ajay Pillai has been answered? > If yes, would someone forward me the answer please? > > Thanks. > Nam. > > >>> Ajay Pillai <pillai(a)ccs.fau.edu> 04/27/05 2:26 PM >>> > Hi, > I am trying to convert my dicom funcional scan images into SPM analyze > (or even AFNI BRIK) format. > > I have about 320 functional volumes of 30 slices each.

Dicom

Hi, I am trying to convert my dicom funcional scan images into SPM analyze (or even AFNI BRIK) format. I have about 320 functional volumes of 30 slices each. So basically I have 9600 .dcm files which I have renamed sequentially for each subject.The first 30 constitute one volume the next 30 next volume and so on. Can mri_convert do this? If so could some one please tell me how? Thank you Ajay

problems generating the filled volume
by wilms 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Dear freesurfers, when I check my mri_converted data after running (1) using <csurf> I find my data shifted relative to the voxel space center (volume index at [128 128 128]) as can be seen in the attached screenshots. The subsequent generation of the "filled" images leaves the cerebellum always attached. I tried to manually set the cutting planes as described in the FreeSurfer Manual (pp. 32-36) but the whole cerebellum is still connected to the brain and always attributed to the left hemisphere. In addition to that I think the bert "orig" data set is smoothed, right? In comparison to bert does my data look much more grainy. Do I have to smooth my data first? Any suggestions in how I can proceed in trying to successfully set the cutting planes are most welcome!
