Hi Doug

below is the email I had written last Friday. I thought it got lost in the mix. I was told by Bruce to use identity.nofile as the transformation since my labels and T1s are already in the same space and I just want to resample my labels to the surfaces.

I will try, as you suggest, --regheader

When I do "mri_cor2label --help" it says it uses surface overlays or volumes. I am not sure why I want to generate a volume with mri_vol2surf - shouldn't I generate a surface overlay that I can then create as a label using mri_cor2label?

many thanks

Trisanna



thanks Bruce

I could not find identity.nofile anywhere, when I ran mri_vol2surf I got the following error

trisanna@kaplan:~$ mri_vol2surf --mov /data-01/trisanna/freesurfer/icbm-112/mri/labels5.mgz --o /data-01/trisanna/freesurfer/icbm-112 --reg identity.nofile --hemi lh

Hi Trisanna

you can give the transformation "file" named identity.nofile and it will assume that the transform is the identity. You can then use mri_vol2label to sample the label onto the surface and visualize it with:

freeview -f lh.inflated:label=lh.labels.label

or some such

cheers

Hi there

Just to reiterate my point above, when I open a surface created in
Freesurfer with my labels.mgz (converted from minc) in Freeview (i.e. no
transformations have been performed) I get the following snapshot
#1. Clearly, my original labels are aligned with the surface, as they should
be since Freesurfer did not alter the space. So, how can I use mrivol2surf
to resample the surface such that the vertices carry the label info? What
output format should I use in mrivol2surf? How can I open this output in
Freeview?

For instance, when I try a .dat that creates no transformation and save the
output as .mgz and use Overlay in Freeview, I get snapshot #2. So, something
is going wrong in my mrivol2surf command.

My apologies for the questions
Trisanna

I'm not sure what identity.nofile is or what you are trying to do (no
previous info in the email). If whatever you are trying to map to the
surface is already in anatomical space (so no registration necessary),
then you can use --regheader with mri_vol2surf. mri_cor2label will take
a volume format as input (ie, mgz, nii.gz ,etc)
