Re: [Freesurfer] How to run part of TRACULA

2016-08-13 Thread Anastasia Yendiki

Hi Athanasia - TRACULA expects certains files named a certain way to be 
there at the end of each preprocessing step. These are described here:

https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/trac-all#Outputdirectoriesandfiles

If you are using pre-existing files, you have to make sure that they 
follow the same file/directory naming convention.

You just run recon-all with the default settings. The aparc+aseg is 
created in one of the last steps of recon-all, so all the previous steps 
have to run as well.

Hope this helps!

[Freesurfer] How to run part of TRACULA

2016-08-13 Thread Athanasia Metoki
Dear Freesurfer Developers,

I am fairly new to image analysis and this is the first time I use
Freesurfer.

I have some DTI data and I have already preprocessed them and ran bedpostX
using FSL. I ran probabilistic tractography on FSL as well to get the
connectivity between two distinct brain areas.

I am also interested in getting the probability distribution for the
uncinate fasciculi so I am trying to use TRACULA.
My question is: Can I use TRCULA without doing preprocessing and dedpostX
again? If so, will I need to do the cortical parcelation and subcortical
segmentation with recon-all and get the aparc+aseg.mgz file in order to use
TRACULA? Which argument would I need to use when I run recon-all?

Thank you!

Thank you Anastasia, I'll try this.
