R L flipping
by Mark A. Pinsk 09 May '04

09 May '04

Hello, we are desperately in search of a way to flip our freesurfered data. There was a post a while back referring to mris_reverse but it doesn't seem to be included in the current distribution. any help would be greatly appreciated ! thanks mark _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

mean & std. dev over an ROI
by George Papadimitriou 07 May '04

07 May '04

We would like to calculate the mean and std. deviation over a region of interest using tkmedit. The underlying image volume (on which the ROI is delignated) is a scalar map. Kevin mentioned that there might be a tool in the Freesurfer suite that will do that calculation. I would really appreciate your input. George P.

updated tkmedit won't run..
by Wietske Van Der Zwaag 05 May '04

05 May '04

Dear Freesurfers, I've just updated my freesurfer to the 20040218 version, but now I am no longer able to run the tkmedit program. I've tried the tkmedit.static version too, but with the same result (ie none) The log file says this: /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/Linux/tkmedit blobby T1 -csurf Command Finished Does anybody know what to do about this? I don't think anything's wrong with the videocard, as I was able to run the older version of tkmedit. Thank you, Wietske

mris_anatomical_stats thickness deviation
by Ray Fix 05 May '04

05 May '04

Hello, When you run mris_anatomical_stats it reports, among other things: average cortical thickness = x mm +- y mm y is maximum difference? standard deviation? As always, thanks for your help to these simple minded questions. Ray

Seg fault during wm_fill
by Geoffrey Aguirre 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Folks -- I'm working with a dog brain. With the help of Denis Fize, I've "tricked" freesurfer into treating my 0.47 mm voxels as 1 mm voxels, and I have manually stripped the skull. I used the automated routine to segment white matter and then manually erased the brainstem and cerebellum. Now, however, when I try and apply the automated white matter fill routine, the operation fails with "Segmentation Fault" after several minutes of processing. I've provided left and right hemisphere seed points, as well as a callosal seed point. This is a fairly unusual data set, but I would appreciate any advice...

How to get each value for total out and inner cortex surface area
by Akemi Tomoda 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Dear list, According to the results by running FS in our subjects, I have come to realize that the cortical surface area and gray-matter volume shrinks, while the cortical thickness tends to increase with a highly localized area of cortical thickening in the left hemisphere. To my knowledge, these two variables (area, thickness) can not possibly be independent. So there must be a relationship because volume = area * thickness. In order to test it statistically and look into the problem of interaction between thickness and area, I'd like to get the values of total out cortex surface area and total inner cortex surface area, separately. I know FS use the white surface for surface area from the past ML (Pial Surface). I was wondering how I can get each value for out and inner cortex surface area. Any suggestions are very welcome.

subcortical parcellation
by Frederic Dick 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Hi all are there any plans to release the subcortical parcellation as part of freesurfer? Or is it in another set of tools? Or is it still in-house only? Thanks! Fred

need clarification of analyze 7.5 format orient value
by Yasunari Tosa 18 Apr '04

18 Apr '04

I need the clarification of analyze 7.5 format in sagittal flipped case. I just found that it is different from the one I used for freesurfer. I used Graham version from his web site: wideman-one.com/gw/brain/analyze/formatdoc.htm has *hist.orient* *Mayo name* *Voxel[Index0, Index1, Index2] * *Index0* *Index1* *Index2* 0 (default) transverse unflipped R-L P-A I-S 1 coronal unflipped R-L I-S P-A 2 sagittal unflipped P-A I-S R-L 3 transverse flipped R-L A-P I-S 4 coronal flipped R-L S-I P-A 5 sagittal flipped P-A S-I R-L Note: Index0 is fastest-varying (innermost-nested) index, Index2 the outermost. Index0..Index2 are often called X, Y, Z, but I am trying to avoid confusion with spatial coordinates. I found that http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov/dfwg/nifti_revised.html has * /vs./ qform_code*: The ANALYZE-7.5 format indicated 3D orientation with the 1 byte code orient, which was to be interpreted as 0 = transverse-unflipped R?L P?A I?S 1 = coronal-unflipped R?L I?S P?A 2 = sagittal-unflipped P?A I?S R?L 3 = transverse-flipped R?L A?P I?S 4 = coronal-flipped R?L S?I P?A 5 = sagittal-flipped P?A I?S L?R Note that the second and third axis of "sagittal flipped" are flipped ;-) Tosa -- Yasunari Tosa, Ph.D. R&D Engineer email: tosa(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Mass.

inside or outside the brain
by Daniel Goldenholz 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

Hi. I have a math question. Suppose that I read a non-inflated brain surface using the matlab function "read_surf". Suppose further I have a single point which is in the same mri coordinate system as this surface. My question is this: what is a smart way to figure out if that single point is INSIDE or OUTSIDE the 3D volume called "brain" bounded by the surface I read in? Thanks, -- Daniel Goldenholz -----------------------------------------------------

problem with white matter fill
by Wietske Van Der Zwaag 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

Hello, When we tried running the white matter fill procedure on the example data, we kept encountering these error messages. The line 'MRIvoxelToTalairachVoxel: unsupported slice direction -1' seems to be repeated for every voxel in the volume. Can you tell me what this errormessage is about and what's wrong? We tried running the white matter fill from the commandline or with the gui, and get the same result.
