Thank You Douglas. I figured out that multiplicating by a fixed value could make the trick. Have a good weekend. Dorian 2013/10/29 Douglas N Greve gr...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu What is the problem with small values? You can multiply them by 100 to give you percent of brain. Or multiply them by

2013-10-24 Thread Dorian P.
Dear all, Excuse if these are simple questions but I am a bit confused on the significance of the volume measures. 1. Are the volumes of ROIs calculated after normalization? 2. If volumes are calculated post-normalization, why is correction for eTIV needed? 3. What is the quickest way to

Thank you Douglas. The eTIV has values like 1543825. Dividing ROIs by this value would create very small values. Is there a standard TIV (i.e. from the talairach brain) to use as denominator for creating a ratio value? Or what is the best way to create a reasonable factor (i.e. 0.7-1.3) to

Why is a small # a problem? It simply represents the fraction of the total intracranial volume occupied by that structure. cheers Bruce On Thu, 24 Oct 2013, Dorian P. wrote: Thank you Douglas. The eTIV has values like 1543825. Dividing ROIs by this value would create very small values.
