Hi use fslmaths, fslstats and fsl2ascii fslstats input -S gives you the standard deviation in the image (across non-zero voxels) which you can use within fslmaths to do whatever you fancy. fsl2ascii can convert to a standard text file, though I think you're better of reading the file into matlab using read_avw (supplied by us in $FSLDIR/etc/matlab) hth Christian On 31 Jul 2009, at 09:08, Moran Artzi wrote: > Hi, > How can I threshold image by its standard deviation (to keep values > only in > the range of 1-2 std from mean)? > In addition, is it possible to save results (after using fslstats& > fslmaths > options) in a text file? > > Thanks > Moran _______________________________________________ Christian F.
