Dear Anderson,

Thank you very much for your reply! I will resample my results to 1mm (I could not do this in the ICA, as I had too much data and the pc could not handle it).

Thank you for your help!
Best
Heidi

Onderwerp: Re: [FSL] autoaq problem

PS: not 27 mL (!), much less than that... Still, 3 mm is quite a big voxel!

Hi Heidi,

I suggest that you resample your data to 1 or 2mm, instead of the atlas. It's much less error prone from you side, as you'd have just one set of images to manipulate (yours), rather than two (yours and the atlas). Plus, by resampling the atlas, you'd have to make sure that the 'atlasquery' command locates and uses it correctly, and also deal yourself even with minor issues as the fact that 182 and 218 (dimensions of the 1 mm atlas) aren't divisible by 3.

Save yourself the hassle and use your data with 2 or 1 mm resolution. And if you could do it from the very beginning of the analysis, even better, as each 3mm voxel has volume of 27 mL -- a very coarse resolution to conclude anything.

Finally, remember that the use of autoaq is just for a quick, overall anatomic reference. You can still get the same information if you look at your images side-by-side with the atlas, or follow an anatomy textbook.

All the best,

Anderson

Dear Anderson,

I have been using autoaq for my resting state analyses. Looking at the results in fslview, shows that the results are localized in posterior regions.
However the autoaq command shows that the results are in the frontal areas.
I think this difference stems from a difference in image dimensions.
In melodic I resampeled everything into 3mm. The dimensions of my dual regression images are provided below.
I created an atlas that fits these dimensions (with applying FLIRT on the Harvard Oxford atlas).
Unfortunately, autoaq does not provide me the correct output. I am not sure which atlas it uses or whether I can tell it to use the one that I created.

Any ideas how I can solve this? Should I warp my dual regression to fit the 1mm atlas? How can I do that?

Thanks!
Best
Heidi
