Thank you Dr. Greve for your answerI checked all about your comment. I have questions more.1. I found that volumes or counts in gtm.stats.dat are for native PET space. If co-registered PET onto corresponding MRI(i.e. MRI space) is available using rbv.nii.gz from mri_gtmpvc,Or if you recommend it by gtm.stats.dat, I can use gtm.stats.dat --rescale (reference regions) for SUVR in PET space.What do you prefer or recommend?
I'm not sure what you are trying to get. voxel volume or SUVR?
-> Yes. Voxel volume for SUVR analysis.
I compared gtm.stats.dat from both GTM and RBV method.
They were all same SUVR. I think region masks for gtm and rbv are same as pvc-masks, arent they?
2. I used mri_vol2vol --mov rbv.nii.gz --targ original_PET.nii --o test.nii --regheaderThe RBV is in anatomical space, if you want to map it back to pet space, you need the registration file in the aux folder (not --regheader).because rbv.nii.gz is in different space. but when overlaid with them, registration is not correct. (WHY) rbv.nii.gz is in different space, even not in T1.mgz space. (DKT space) I just wanted to use the pv-corrected image for image processing.and you also said, smoothing is required after PVC. (Surface or volume based smoothing (resonable).
