Usable for those outside of Duke?

Hi Mark,

I'm a postdoc at UC-Davis looking to give your code a whirl. Could you tell me if it is intended not only for those at Duke? If so, any tips on creating a probe definitions file that is compatible?

Yep, wide open for use! I have a lot of probe definitions for Siemens probes, but those are considered proprietary... any chance you are working under a Siemens MRA thought your parent lab?

[csheaff]

Hmm...not in our lab, but an imaging center in our building has Siemens PET/SPECT/CT scanners. Think that might be workable?

[mlp6]

Not likely... but I can commit some templates. What probe type(s) are you looking to use? Linear? Curvilinear? Phased? Matrix?

[csheaff]

Ah, some templates would be great. Linear type would work. Thanks!

I just realized that there is a template probe file in the repository already, but it is mislabeled: probe_linear.m. That should actually be probe_linear.txt; it is ultimately read in using code/uf_txt_to_probe.m in do_dyna_scans.m (line 68). There might be a path issue where the code tries to find that txt file, but that is the general format it is expecting.

Okay, thanks Mark! Might have another question or two in the future, as I haven't had a chance to look at it recently. Hope you don't mind.

Cheers,
Clay
