Re: [Freesurfer] Results Vary

2013-01-24 Thread Nick Schmansky
Derin,

the results vary only a tiny bit because of differences in the
talairach_with_skull.lta file, which was created twice, the second time
with aseg info, which would cause the brainmask to vary slightly if run a
second time.  the result differences are well below what you would find
with randomness enabled.

 Hi Nick,

 Could you clarify this? So if we re-run a subject in 5.1 (say after doing
 some edits), we would then need to run it again a third time in order to
 maintain consistency? Thanks.

 also there is an issue in v5.1 where the second run of recon-all on a

 subsequent runs should produce identical results).  this issue has been
 fixed in the upcoming v5.2 release.

 This is an issue with using different computes and applies to all
 software, not just FS.It is caused by the use of different math
 libraries and different binary operations. The difference you show is
 only 0.3% which should not be enough to cause false results.

 Dear FS team,
 I processed two set of MRI  data for a  single  patient,Thats BL scan

 Though I was expecting the  same segstats,the  results vary from
 Macpro to VM.For eg , for BL in Mac  SubCortGrayVol is 178038 but  for
 the  same  images in VM  the  results are 177432.Does it happened to

 Much appreciate  your  advice,...
