[Mristudio-users] ImgVal Calculation

[susumu]

This is an interesting observation. It should be a simple binary masking.
The pixel with fibers are 1 and other pixels are 0. We multiply this masking
to loaded images and calculate average and STD. Do you think our values are
off? If so, this is definitely something we should look into. Could you send
us (not by MailingList) one fiber file and a co-registered FA map?

Dear DTI Studio users,

 

I have a question regarding the ImgVal calculation under statistical profile
for fiber tracking.  I got very different mean FA values (differences
ranging from 0.04 to 0.1)  when I tried these two methods (keeping all
parameters consistent and same version of DTI):

1.       Load previously saved fiber track (binary) into DTI studio, click
on fiber statistics and I have  for Mean of ImgVal and Std. of ImgVal

2.       Using MATLAB, apply the same binary fiber track onto FA image
(analyze format), calculate mean/std values for all the pixels/voxels
belonging to this fiber track

How are these mean ImgVal calculated?  I assume it is just a mean values for
all the pixels/voxels that are contained in the fiber track of interest.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
