Hi Doug Thanks. Generated a new one.. its ok now.. Cheers Rajeev *Thu Aug 16 11:18:49 EDT 2012* Hi Rajeev, did you look in that file to see if there is anything in it? You can try regenerating the file with recon-all -s subject -segstats doug On 08/16/2012 08:19 AM, rajeev krishnadas

[Freesurfer] How TE, TI and flip angle parameters affect the images and results?

2012-08-17 Thread Daniel Ferreira
Dear all, We are designing a study based on clinical data. We want to work with a MPRAGE sequence but subjects have been given 4 different sets of parameters: - TR: 1900; TE: 4,38; TI: 1100; flip angle: 15 - TR: 1900; TE: 3,55; TI: 1100; flip angle: 15 - TR: 1900; TE: 3,39; TI: 900; flip angle:

Hi Daniel those are pretty big differences in flip angle. I'll cc Andre van der Kouwe on this so he can comment, but I would be hesitant. The increased TE will have a big effect on dura (darkening it), but will also reduce gray/white contrast. cheers Bruce On Fri, 17 Aug 2012, Daniel

hi bruce, the mask was generated by morphing a binary mask from CVS space back to the subject's anatomical space. the cvs mask was generated from a functional parcellation algorithm our lab uses. if it's useful -- the registration header in the anatomical-space mask is identical to the

Hi Knut - Does merged_ph1samples.nii.gz exist in your dmri.bedpostX directory? It's one of the bedpostx output files. If not, it means bedpostx did not finish running properly. You can try running bedpostx directly on the dmri directory, not through trac-all -bedp. Output files of bedpostx

Hi Alex, does the output of mri_vol2surf look ok on the surface? When you run mri_cor2label, you should use the white or pial surface instead of inflated, but I don't think that is the problem here. Another thing to look at is tkregister2 --mov volumetric-mask --regheader --reg junk.dat --s

Hi Sam, it sounds like what you are doing is correct. Another possible solution would be to use mri_binarize, something like mri_binarize EXAMPLE.nii.gz --match 17 --o left.hippo.nii.gz This matches the number rather than doing a thresholding. It seems like the thresholding should work, but

Ah, I did not see that you had used inflated in your original vol2surf command. That is definitely the source of the misplaced label. The surf_name.mgz file is not a surface, it is an overlay. If you are trying to load it as a surface in tksurfer (or getting info from mris_info), then it will
