Re: [Freesurfer] Generating Surfaces from Labels

Hello Dr. Fischl,

Thanks for the feedback. Can the flattened patches be "re-inflated" into
surface files again after being flattened?

I am also continuing to run into the issue with the label2vol function
where I end up with a volume that is completely filled. The steps I have
been following to reach this point are
1: Run mri_annotation2label --subject subjectname --hemi lh --outdir out
2: mri_label2vol --label $labelgeneratedfromstep1 --temp rawavg.mgz
--subject subjectname --hemi lh --o outputdirectory --fillthresh .3 --reg
register.dat --proj frac 0 1 .1
Honestly I am not sure what the --proj field actually means and so I have
been just using the 0 1 .1 that I found in examples of mri_label2vol. Could
this be the problem?

Thanks,
Zachary Humphrey

[Freesurfer] Generating Surfaces from Labels

2017-08-08 Thread Zach Humphrey
Hello All,

I have been attempting to convert Label files generated using
mri_annotation2label into surface files for use in external programs. In
order to do this I first need to convert the label files into freesurfer
binary. I have attempted to use the mri_label2vol function to generate an
mgz file which could then be converted into freesurfer binary but this has
resulted in mgz files which depict a solid cube rather than any brain
structure. Any ideas as to why this could be?

I would also prefer to avoid ever converting the label files to a volume as
converting the volume file to a surface file results in a lower quality
than if the file has been maintained as a surface file throughout. Is there
any way to use the Desikan Atlas to "divide" say the lh.pial surface file
and generate a number of .pial files each consisting of one of the regions
described by the Desikan Atlas?

Thanks,
Zachary Humphrey
