Hello all,

I have a few questions about the run*_Stability.txt files that are produced as part of the functional scan data pipeline to bristol. Could someone tell me how the motion parameters contained in the run*_Stability.txt files are produced, and in what units the data is in? Is this something that is produced by qastats?

My scans are collected axially (64 64 34), so it appears that in the file, the values of x and y are near the center of the volume in units of voxels, since the x & y values are about (32 32) for each slice of each volume, and the values for y are about 1. So, to find the shift in x of the ith volume and the jth slice, would I do:

shiftx= (x(1,j) - x(i,j)) * voxelsize

Am I on the right track here?

Thanks,

matt

hey matt,

These files are generated using Dr. Voyvodic's fScan program. From what I understand (Jim, please correct me if I am wrong), the 2nd and 3rd columns are in pixel units and represent the intensity center of mass in the x and y directions respectively. The last column represents the mean intensity normalized to the first image... And the first column are the slices in xyzt order..

hope that helps!

Jimmy
