[Freesurfer] FS vs. manual segmentation in HC

2014-11-11 Thread Bernd Merkel
Dear all ! I know, this has been discussed a lot in the forum, however, I am still not sure, whether my analysis pipeline is correct. I simply want to compare volumes of FS vs. manual segmentation in the hippocampus and calculate the dice coefficient. So these are my steps: 1. mri_convert

A) I don't think this matter, but Doug can correct me if I'm wrong. B) You can't partial-volume correct the DICE, but you can compare the volumes after partial-volume corrections. C) There are references in our Neuron paper on the definition of the hippocampus (Caviness, Makris, Kennedy papers)

I would use mri_label2vol to map your manual labels into the conformed space (using mri_label2vol) (and assuming that your native space has voxel sizes 1mm or greater). This is just a single step (I did not quite follow all the steps you have below). No need to run any registration, just

Hi Doug, I wanted to follow up on this. Would you be able to provide a workaround for contrasting multiple taskregs against each other? Is there something I can try in the meantime? Thanks, Caspar 2014-11-10 13:54 GMT-05:00 Caspar M. Schwiedrzik cschwie...@rockefeller.edu : Hi Doug, thanks

Actually, you can still do each contrast individually. Each will produce ces and cesvar files. Take the difference between the ces files and the average of the cesvar files, then feed the result into mri_glmfit FFX doug On 11/11/2014 11:56 AM, Caspar M. Schwiedrzik wrote: Hi Doug, I wanted

It will be the same as the DOF of the individual contrasts (don't sum them). On 11/11/2014 12:58 PM, Caspar M. Schwiedrzik wrote: ok, I will try that. How do I get the degrees of freedom? Thanks! Caspar 2014-11-11 12:04 GMT-05:00 Douglas N Greve gr...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu

Hi Doug, just to clarify: If I want to contrast taskreg 1 vs. mean(taskreg 2,3,4,5,6), I would compute ces= ces(taskreg 1) - mean(ces(taskreg 2,3,4,5,6)) and cesvar=mean(cesvar(taskreg(1,2,3,4,5,6))) Is that correct? Thanks, Caspar 2014-11-11 13:19 GMT-05:00 Bill Taylor b...@cs.wisc.edu:

Dear FreeSurfer experts I have one question regarding the labeling of cortical structures using the Desikan-Killiany atlas and couldn't find any information in the archives. As far as I read, this atlas has been composed by including 40 subjects of broad age ranges (19-86 years of age),

Hi Martina no, probably not. We use the geometry of the gray/white boundary to drive the registration and segmentation, and it is completely invariant to gray matter atrophy and it would take huge amounts of white matter atrophy to cahnge it enough to mess things up. cheers Bruce On Tue, 11

Hi Doug, I am a little bit confused about the variance. Shouldn't the relevant variance be the variance over the differences, not the mean variance over all? Of course at the level of ces and cesvar, I do not have access to the timepoint by timepoint differences anymore. Is there another way to do

To add to this thread, you could also use the parcellations from the DKT atlas that we provide, produced by the -cortparc3 flag of recon-all (which is run by default), which is based on 40 healthy subjects from the Mindboggle-101 project, described here: http://mindboggle.info/data.html N. On
