Hi Marco,

Very nice structural volume. My Caret gives a very nice segmentation with no complaints, but I had to scale it from float to byte (not sure what your original datum type was). We ported the SureFit algorithm almost completely "as is," and its "SureFitOps" utilities work only on unsigned byte (0-255) volumes. Shortly after we released Caret 5.2, John added some features to rescale the volume in the Edit Volume Attributes menu. If your Caret doesn't have a Data tab on the Volume Attributes Editor with a button that says "Rescale Voxels...," then you can get an updated version here:

Alternatively, you can write your original full brain volume in unsigned byte form and input it to Caret. There should be no need to rescale if the input is byte.

I think this probably is the problem (relatively easy fix).

Hi Donna,
I remember you too! You have provided me a valuable help quite many times.
Thank you for your quick reply.
I have uploaded the following files:

Human.lvs7b.L.params_file_19.2005-06-09.params
wmean_anat3D_AC_L+orig.BRIK
wmean_anat3D_AC_L+orig.HEAD

Processing the same images with SureFit 5.2 is not a problem, so I do not think there is a problem with the data; but I hope it turns out I a wrong!
All the best,
Marco

Hi Marco,

I remember you!  You helped educate me about the differences between
talairach and MNI space a couple of years ago.

Is there any chance you're trying to segment both hemispheres at once?
If not, then can you upload your cropped .HEAD and .BRIK structural
volumes along with your params file (or just tell me your GM/WM peaks)
here:

Other potential problems that can cause such problems:

* AC not set correctly
* Bad peaks

The best way for me to help is to look at your volume.

Donna
