Certainly! To import FreeSurfer brain segmentation into BrainSuite, follow these simple steps:
1. Convert FreeSurfer files to NIfTI format: Use the mri_convert
command to convert .mgz
files (like brain. mgz
and aparc+aseg.mgz
) to .nii
or .nii.gz
format.
`bash
mri_convert brain.mg brain.nii.gz
mri_convert aparc+aseg.mgz aparc+aseg.nii.gz
`
2. Open BrainSuite: Start BrainSuite and use the ‘Open Volume’ option to load the .nii
files you just converted.
3. Load Surface Files: Convert FreeSurfer surface files (e.g., lh. pial
, rh. pial
) to a format (like .ply
) that can be read in BrainSuite. Use mris_convert
for this purpose.
4. Visualize and Analyze: With your files now in BrainSuite, you can visualize and analyze the data using BrainSuite’s tools.
This streamlined process will help you leverage BrainSuite’s powerful features for your neuroimaging analysis.
