Hi experts,
We are presently involved in a project for analyzing MRI data of 1-3 year old children using FreeSurfer. We cannot find a correct infant atlas. From online search, I know that an infant atlas is being developed which will be integrated into FreeSurfer in the future. (link https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4332305/ )
Can I know when this will be available? If not soon, is there any other methods for us to generate an infant(kid) atlas?
Also I know there are infant atlas from UNC(http://www.med.unc.edu/bric/ideagroup/free-softwares/unc-infant-0-1-2-atlase...), how can I use this atlas in Freesurfer?
Best, Lemon
Hi Lemon
Please see the mailing list archive here for some guidance (the answer is the same for infants): https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg56037.html
I couldn't see the UNC link you provided. But the basic steps for creating your own atlas are:
-label every voxel of the brain in Freeview (for every subject to be used in the atlas)
-run mri_ca_train
-run rebuild_gca_atlas.csh script in $FREESURFER_HOME/bin
Best,
Emma
