Hi Minjie,
The pathstats.byvoxel.txt gives the statistics of the higest probability streamline of the posterior distribution of the tract and the pathstats.overall.txt gives you average diffusion values for the whole tract.
Please refer to the following:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/TraculaStatistics
Your pathstats.overall.txt does not look right. For instance the center streamline's length (Len_Center = 0). Did you open the posterior probability distribution of this tract?
You can use the following command to do the same:
freeview <path/to/your/data>/dpath/path.pd.nii.gz
If it does not look right then something probably went wrong during the path reconstruction. If you can send us your trac-all.log, we can check for anything that went wrong.
Hope this is helpful.,
Priti
Hello Tracula Developer & User,
I found a few subjects have pathstat.overall.txt information but with blank voxel information in pathstats.byvoxel.txt. For such tracts, they usually len_min = len_max = len_avg. Anyone know what happened for the fiber tracking? Is it possible to extract the byvoxel information along the tract?
Thanks, Minjie
