[caret-users] Paint Volume labels for Macaque F99

[Hamied Haroon]

Hi,

 

Following the kind advice provided by Donna and David, et al,
previously, I have taken each of the Paint Columns available for the
Macaque F99UA1 (i.e. Lobes, LVE00, Felleman-VE all, PHT 00, etc) and
converted these to Paint Volumes in CARET, which I have then saved as
AFNI image volumes on my local disk. This has allowed me to apply the
various parcellations to MRI data that I have in the same species of
macaque.

 

I originally assumed that the signal intensities in the AFNI (.BRIK)
Paint Volume would correspond to the list of anatomical labels under
LUT_NAMES in the header (.HEAD). However this correspondence does not
seem to hold true for all the labels. For example, in LVE00, the region
that has a signal intensity of 18 is certainly V1, but in the LUT_NAMES
list 18 corresponds to V4.

 

Could there be any errors in the LUT_NAMES lists in the AFNI .HEAD
files, or is there another way to (easily) get a reliable list of the
anatomical labels that correspond to the signal intensities in the Paint
Volume image file?

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Many thanks.

 

Best wishes,

 

Hamied
