Hi Donna,

I am trying to get AFNI and Caret to lock together, and I am having trouble understanding how to generate a metric file from AFNI in order to open it in Caret. Also do you know why when I use the tutorial and try to import an image, the AFNI format is not supported (I saw hdr and that's what I used, and the option of saving as a .HEAD file is available but no AFNI when I try to import) - just curious. If you could help me understand how Caret uses the metric through AFNI and how I can generate one.

Thank you.

Best,

Alan

Hi Nina,

After trying a couple of peak settings with the low hindbrain threshold, I got a pretty decent result:

GMpeak 39
WMpeak 53

I suspect you can do even better with some peak tweaking. The downside is that much of the hindbrain remains connected, but you can run it again with the high hindbrain option and use the Copy Subvolume trick to erase the hindbrain out of the low hindbrain segmentation. Mike Todd can teach you this trick.

Based on your message below, I'm betting you used the Caret version off our official download site. Like many labs, we don't update our official release until we release a major revision. But John made some changes in August 2005 to the hindbrain routine that will be of great benefit to you, so you'll definitely want to grab the updated caret5 executable from the site below. It's just the executable -- not the whole distribution.

Let me know how it goes,

Donna

Hi Nina,

I'm about to leave for the day, but I'll look at this tomorrow. Meanwhile, a couple of questions:

1. Are you using a version of Caret from August 2005 or later that has the fix John made to the hindbrain routine? I suspect you are, since it was your lab's data that prompted that change. In case not, here is the download site:

2.  Are you using the low or high option for hindbrain removal?

Thanks,

Donna

Hi,

I've been trying to segment a hemisphere in Caret 5.31, and depending on where I set the peaks I either get a hindbrain segmentation error or a
segmentation that finishes but misses some DL white matter.

I uploaded the files under the name s2s1_mprage.L and here are the different
peak values I tried:

Gray 30, White 48; Gray 27, White 51 => Hindbrain Error

Gray 31, White 53; Gray 35, White 53 => DL Limbs Missing

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
