Re: is there a way to save the inflated surface at each iteration?

2003-12-18 Thread Bruce Fischl
yes, give mris_inflate the -w n flag, and the surface will be written out every n iterations. This is pretty useful, as some of the intermediate surfaces can be very nice for visualization as they still have the major folds, but you can see into all of them. Bruce On Fri, 19 Dec 2003,

hi Rob, try making a label on the surface, which it sounds like you have done for the average brain you mapped your sigt's to. you can map this label to other subjects using mri_label2label. (in this example, i made the label on subject 017 and called it lh.temp.label, then mapped it to

Registration of MRI's Acquired on Different Days?

2003-12-18 Thread Joe Maisog
Hi all, we'd like to average some MPRAGE's in preparation to use FreeSurfer. In a piloting study we acquired a pair of MPRAGE's on a verywell-behaved subject on one day, and then another pair of MPRAGE's on another day. Although motion artifact is small within day, it is large across day

FSL has some code for this, but the problem is really an MR one. If the subject placement in the scanner is substantially different then the gradient nonlinearities will cause the volumes to be warped differently. In addition, different shim settings will cause different B0 distortions, which

Thanks for the tips, Bruce. I'll try FSL, although I suspect that you're right, this is more of an MR problem. I *did* have a suspicion that there was some geometric distortion between the scans acquired on different days, just from visual inspection. Joe - Original Message - From:

Joe: There are various reasons why 3dvolreg may not do the job. In addition to what Bruce mentioned (basically geometric incompatibility), 3dvolreg can fail due to the MRIs starting off too far out of alignment, or very different intensity values, or even things like you've got the right-left

after the spherical registration, run the script: parcellate_subject $subject this will take about 10 minutes and generate two files in the subject's label directory named lh.aparc.annot and rh.aparc.annot. In tksurfer you can visualize them with file-import annotation, and
