Re: [Freesurfer] Binary volume to surface label

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your help yesterday. I was able to create the .mgh file using
the -output_type mgh option, but I am still unable to load it in tksurfer
as label or anything else. If you or Doug have any other suggestions, I
would really appreciate it. Thanks!

 Hi Jonathan

 try -output_type mgh. It should create a volume that is nvertices long.
 Not sure if it can directly create a label file, maybe Doug knows?

 Thanks for the quick response. The label

 and has a
 single value, so it
 probably would not work with bbregister.
 I can load
 it in tkmedit as a
 segmentation and the alignment is
 correct. I
 attached a screenshot. Is there
 a way to select the values greater than
 zero in
 tkmedit and save as a label
 that could be used in vol2surf? I have
 other labels
 that are larger so I
 would prefer not to retrace them if

Hi Bruce, 
Thanks for the quick response. The label is a
manually traced area of the
cortex. It is in subject scanner space and has a
single value, so it
probably would not work with bbregister. I can load
it in tkmedit as a
segmentation and the alignment is correct. I
attached a screenshot. Is there
a way to select the values greater than zero in
tkmedit and save as a label
that could be used in vol2surf? I have other labels
that are larger so I
would prefer not to retrace them if possible.

Re: [Freesurfer] Binary volume to surface label

2013-05-12 Thread Jonathan DuBois
I used the following options: mri_vol2surf --hemi lh --regheader subject01
--cortex --mov label.mgz --o ./label.mgh
It ran without error, but I could not open the resulting file in tksurfer
as either a label or an overlay:
-
/Applications/freesurfer/tktools/tksurfer.bin: no data in label file
/Users/label.mgh
tkmedit: Trying to open /Users/label.dat
surfer: Interpreting overlay volume /Users/label.mgh as encoded scalar
volume

Re: [Freesurfer] Binary volume to surface label

2013-05-12 Thread Douglas Greve
It cannot create a label file directly. What happens when you try to 
load it as an overlay? Make sure to set the threshold to 0.5. Also, 
before going to the surface load the binary volume onto the anatomical 
with  the surfaces to make sure that the surfaces pass through the mask.

Hi Jonathan

try -output_type mgh. It should create a volume that is nvertices 
long. Not sure if it can directly create a label file, maybe Doug knows?
