Hi FSL experts,
Following this thread
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind1608&L=FSL&P=R119207&1=FSL&9=A&I=-3&J=on&X=7E54751A2BAF910492&Y=lancestevens4c%40gmail.com&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4
I am curious about this section of the thread
"(2). Other than tracking # of tracts between these two ROIs, I am also interested in computing and reporting fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) for these ROIs. I could not figure out how to generate FA and MD values here for publication purpose?"
"You can calculate an average FA/MD score along a tract by thresholding/binarising the tract and using fslstats. "
The question is, and in reference to the response to the question in this thread, what is the recommended method to calculate FA and MD in this context? It does not appear that TBSS or
tbss_x_scripts are being used. Would someone comment on the use of TBSS derived estimate of microstructural measures vs "thresholding/binarising the tract and using fslstats" in this context.
Best,
Charles
