Dear FSL team,
I am trying to run the TBSS analysis on mice FA data. My problem is that I have in vivo scans with non-isotropic 0.3*0.15*0.6mm voxels. At this resolution, some upsampling of the images was necessary to get the tbss_skeleton script to build a skeleton with reasonable similarity to the underlying anatomy. (I've compared it to what Ruest et al. published in 2011 in NMR in biomedicine using high-res isotropic data).
My question is: how will upsampling affect the statistical results?. I am comparing wild-type to knock-out mice (2 groups unpaired t-test).
I have been through the Smith & Nichols Neuroimage paper on TFCE and I understand that if the extension of the significant clusters to be fed into the TFCE algorithm is given in # of vxls, then upsampling will influence the output, whereas if it is given in mm3 it won't (that much?).
Can somebody give me some help with this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Alberto
