Hi Saad,

do they just have to pass one voxel within the ROI or through the entire ROI?
Thanks & cheers,
Andreas

Hi

In network mode, the two ROIs are considered in turn as seed and “waypoint” respectively. Therefore, all streamlines that do not pass through the ROIs will be rejected - if the ROIs are set as “targets”, then streamlines that do not pass through the targets will still be included in the fdt_paths output, but discarded from the seed_to_target counters.

Cheers
Saad

Hi,

I am running Probtrackx using two ROIs (ROI_1, ROI_2) and I am interested in
the global connectivity between these two regions. So what I need is the global
number of fibers which start from ROI_1 and reach ROI_2 and the same in the
opposite direction (from ROI_2 to ROI_1). What I see in that there are two
different ways to proceed:

- Run probtrackx in multiple mask mode, using my two ROIs as masks;

- Run probtrackx in seed to target mode, using as seed ROI_1 and as target
ROI_2 and the same in the opposite direction (seed ROI_2 and target ROI_1).

These two methods give very different results. Could you suggest me what is
the best way to proceed?

Thank you in advance!
