This README is for IBSR V2.0, the 1.5mm data distribution.

For each subject we have:

T1-weighted volumetric images that have been 'positionally
normalized' into the Talairach orientation (rotation only).
Also note that these data have been processed by the CMA
'autoseg' biasfield correction routines.

Segmentation results for 'general segmentation' of the
principle gray and white matter structures of the brain
including the: 3rd Ventricle, 4th Ventricle, Brain Stem,
and Left and Right: Accumbens area , Amygdala, Amygdala Anterior,
Caudate, Cerebellum Cortex, Cerebellum Exterior, Cerebellum White
Matter, Cerebral Cortex, Cerebral Exterior, Cerebral White Matter,
Hippocampus, Inf Lat Vent, Lateral Ventricle, Pallidum, Putamen,
Thalamus Proper, VentralDC, and vessel.

Image Resolutions are as follows:

The images are in two formats. We include 'CMA-style'
data (ID_*.img) and Analyze (ID_ana.img) versions of the data.
CMA image files include a ASCII readable 'description file'
(ID.info) which includes, amoungst other things, the data
dimensionality, size, spatial resolutions, orientation, etc.
This information should be sufficient for image data display.

Segmentation files are also provided in the 'Native CMA'
(ID_*.otl) outline format and as a filled volume in analyze
format. The CMA .otl format is described as an appendix below.
For the filled analyze formats, the fill code represents the
various structures thta were segmented. The code-to-structure
conversion is provided in another appendix below. Also
included are "trinary" representations of the segmentations.
These are in Analyze format files where the voxel value has
been mapped from the code-to-structure codes into the basic
tissue types: backround, CSF, Gray Matter and White Matter.
The codes are converted to the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3 as
described in the file tr_CMA_to_3 (attached below as an
appendix).

The Distribution:
There are 18 subjects, named IBSR_01 - IBSR_18. Each
subject has two gzipped tar files, one for the CMA
format and one for the Analyze format, e.g., called:

IBSR_01_CMA.tgz
IBSR_01_ANALYZE.tgz

Use the GNU version of tar to unzip and extract the tar
file using:

% tar zxvf IBSR_01_CMA.tgz
% tar zxvf IBSR_01_ANALYZE.tgz

This will create the IBSR_01 directory with the following
sub-directory structure:

$ ls IBSR_01/*/*

IBSR_01_ana.hdr IBSR_01_ana.img IBSR_01_ana.mat

The largest compressed tar file is almost 5MB, all compressed tar files
require just over 62MB, each uncompressed directory containing
both Analyze and CMA data is around 136MB and all of the
uncompressed data requires 680MB.

WARNING: Dan Withey reports that there seems to be an artifact
introduced by uncompressing the ".otl" files with WinZip

Some versions of WinZip (eg. ver 9.0) will open the CMA
tar archives. For proper recovery of the mixed ascii-binary
.otl files The option "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" under
Options-Configuration-Miscellaneous should be disabled.

GDF File Format
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GDF stands for Generic Data Format.

GDF files have a main header that defines the defaults for the rest of
the file. The rest of the file is made up of "blocks". Each block has
a header and data. The bulk of data should be stored in the data
portion of the blocks. The header must contain information describing
the size and type of the bulk data, but can contain other associated
descriptors (e.g a label) for that block. The programmer will usually
design the data structure such that information pertinent to the entire
series of data blocks is assigned to the main header and is absent in
the block headers. Information retrieval routines query the main header
after determining field is absent in the block header, so a specified
block header value overrides the main header value. Headers are always
ascii, both in memory and on file. The data blocks are always non-ascii
in memory, but can be represented either as ascii or non-ascii on
file.

Here is an example (the gdf file is on the left and comments are on the
right):

GDF FILE VERSION3 | Main header: version ID
START MAIN HEADER | Main header:
TYPE short | Main header: field 0
COL_NUM 2 | Main header: field 1
ONUM 5 | Main header: ...etc...
END MAIN HEADER | Main header:

START GDF HEADER | BLock 0 header:
ROW_NUM 248 | Block 0 header: field 0
SEED 309 301 | Block 0 header: field 1
LABEL Tumor Boundary | Block 0 header: ...etc...
END GDF HEADER | Block 0 header:

START POINTS | Block 0 data:
| Block 0 data: bulk data here
END POINTS | Block 0 data:

START GDF HEADER | BLock 1 header:
ROW_NUM 248 | Block 1 header: field 0
SEED 309 301 | Block 1 header: field 1
LABEL Tumor Boundary | Block 1 header: ...etc...
END GDF HEADER | Block 1 header:

START POINTS | Block 1 data:
| Block 0 data: bulk data here
END POINTS | Block 1 data:

START GDF HEADER | ...etc...

Header fields are stored as text and consist of:



All gdf files will have the following fields:

TYPE
COL_NUM
ROW_NUM

Bulk data are stored in a COL_NUM by ROW_NUM array and
have a that can be any C data type:

char
short
double
float
long
unsigned char
unsigned short
table /* gdf specific type for using mulitple C data types */

NOTE: All numbers in gdf files are assumed to be big endian since gdf
was originally implemented on a Sun. This means the most significant
byte of multiple-byte words are stored first (lower addresses).
