[Freesurfer] Bad pial surface

2010-03-12 Thread Ed Gronenschild
Hi, Reviewing the results of recon-all I noticed that the segmentation of wm and gm was OK but that the computed pial surface chopped away an unacceptable amount of gm voxels, too many to manually edit. Is there a way to cure this problem by choosing some options? I used version 4.5.0 on a Mac

I think the results may be quite unpredictable. It depends on the size of the tumor, the infiltration, the necrosis, etc. --- Pedro Paulo de M. Oliveira Junior Diretor de Operações Netfilter SpeedComm Telecom --- Novo Netfilter 3.4

Ed, Usually a problem with the pial surface indicates a problem with the white surface and fixing the wm.mgz will fix the pial. But you said the wm segmentation is okay in the areas where the pial is a problem? What area of the brain are you finding this problem? Allison -- On Fri, 12 Mar

Hi Chris, it depends on where the tumor is and how big it is. It it's within the wm you could certainly just fill it as a wm edit and things should work. cheers Bruce On Fri, 12 Mar 2010, Chris Filo Gorgolewski wrote: Hi, how does freesurfer perform on brains with tumor? Are the any

Hi Xiaoying, the wm.mgz is our preliminary estimate of the white matter (a binary segmentation). The wmparc.mgz is the labeling of the interior of the white matter by proximity to cortical folds (and it occurs much later in the analysis) cheers Bruce On Fri, 12 Mar 2010, Xiaoying Tang wrote:
