目的：在灰度解剖图上叠加显示彩色阈值图。有一个难点：Unfortunately, it isn't quite that easy, because Matlab only lets you have one colormap per figure window.这里提出了这样的解决方案:就是把灰度图映射成真实的RGB真彩图。
2.1 对解剖图和功能图进行灰度值归一化，归一化至[1,64]区间，然后，将两个图像转成RGB图像，显示归一化后的解剖图，灰度方式显示，不是RGB：
%%%%%%% First, load in the file containing the brain images
load speech_brain_images.mat
%%%% Let's look at the 18th axial slice.
%%%% This goes through Heschl's gyrus, which is auditory cortex
axial_slice_number = 18;
%%%% Read the values from the 3D matrix subj_3danat
anat_slice_vals = subj_3danat(:,:,axial_slice_number);
%%%% Use squeeze to get rid of any redundant 3rd dimension that
%%%% might be left over. This is described in
%%%% more detail in showing_brain_images_tutorial.m
anat_slice_2D = squeeze(anat_slice_vals);
%%%% In order to make it easier for us to match up the
%%%% anatomical values to the 64-entries in Matlab's standard
%%%% gray colormap, we're going to scale the anatomical image
%%%% values so that they are all integers going from 1 to 64
%%%% First scale it from 0 to 1 by dividing by the maximum value.
%%%% Because it's a 2D matrix, we have to perform the max() operation
%%%% twice, once for each dimension. Then we end up with one max value,
%%%% which we can use as a divisor.
anat01 = anat_slice_2D ./ max(max(anat_slice_2D));
%%%% Next, multiply by 63 and round to the nearest whole number
anat0_63 = round( 63 * anat01 );
%%%% Finally, add 1, in order to make a matrix that goes from 1 to 64
anat64 = anat0_63 + 1;
%%%%%%%%%%%% Now let's do the same for the thresholded T-map
Tmap_slice_vals = speech_Tmap(:,:,axial_slice_number);
Tmap_slice_2D = squeeze(Tmap_slice_vals);
T_threshold = 1; %%% Let's pick a fairly low threshold, because it helps
%%% for showing the effect of transparent overlay later.
%%%% To threshold the map, make a logical 0/1 matrix that says
%%%% whether each voxel is above-threshold or not, and multiply
%%%% it element-by-element by the raw T-map values.
%%%% This is explained in a more step-by-step way
%%%% in the companion program showing_brain_images_tutorial.m
thresholded_Tmap = ( Tmap_slice_2D > T_threshold ) .* Tmap_slice_2D;
Tmap01 = thresholded_Tmap ./ max(max(thresholded_Tmap));
Tmap0_63 = round( 63 * Tmap01 );
Tmap64 = 1 + Tmap0_63;
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Ok, now we have made two matrices scaled from 1 to 64,
% one for the anatomical image, and the other for the T-map image
%
% The next step is to make a full RGB-image for each image,
% by looking up the corresponding rows of the gray and hot colormaps.
%
% An RGB-image is a 3D-matrix.
% It has three "colour slabs" that are joined up along the third dimension.
% The first slab is an image full of Red values.
% The second slab is an image full of Green values.
% And the third slab is an image of Blue values.
% First make 3D matrices full of zeros, to hold the values
% that we are about to create for the anatomical and T-map RGB images.
% These have three slabs in the 3rd dimension, and are the same size as
% the anatomical and the Tmap matrices in the first two dimensions.
anat_RGB = zeros(size(anat64,1), size(anat64,2), 3);
%%% This will hold the anatomical image's RBG values
Tmap_RGB = zeros(size(Tmap64,1), size(Tmap64,2), 3);
%%% This will hold the T-map image's RBG values
%%% Now, let's get hold of copies of Matlab's gray and hot
%%% colormap matrices. As far as I know, we need to make a figure
%%% first in order to do this. That's fine, because we want to
%%% look at our newly created 1-to-64 scaled images anyway.
figure(1);
clf;
image(anat64); %%% Note that this is image(), not imagesc() !!!
%%% This looks the same as if we had used imagesc,
%%% because the image values are *already* scaled
%%% to cover the whole colormap, from black to white
colormap gray;
axis('image');
colorbar;
title('The anatomical image after we have scaled it from 1 to 64');
% Now that we are in colormap gray, let's make a copy of the colormap matrix
gray_cmap = colormap; %%% This reads in the current colormap matrix
2.2 显示归一化后的功能图，hot方式显示，不是RGB：

clf;
image(Tmap64); %%% Again, note that we are using image(), not imagesc()

title('The T-map image after we have scaled it from 1 to 64');
%%%%% Make a copy of the new current colormap matrix, which is now hot.
hot_cmap = colormap;
2.3 构造RGB解剖图，并按照RGB方式显示解剖图：
for RGB_dim = 1:3, %%% Loop through the three slabs: R, G, and B
%%% Each entry in each 1-to-64-scaled matrix gives us a row
%%% in the colormap matrix to go look-up.
%%% That row has three columns: the R, G and B values for that colour.
gray_cmap_rows_for_anat = anat64;
hot_cmap_rows_for_Tmap = Tmap64;
%%% We'll read in one of these R, G, or B values at a time,
%%% depending on which colour-slab we're building.
%%% The colormap entry we want is in the RGB_dim-th column,
%%% and in the row that we determined above.
%%% Note that we're actually looking up all the rows at once,
%%% because we're giving Matlab an entire matrix in the row-position.
colour_slab_vals_for_anat = gray_cmap(gray_cmap_rows_for_anat, RGB_dim);
colour_slab_vals_for_Tmap = hot_cmap(hot_cmap_rows_for_Tmap, RGB_dim);
%%%% These colour-slab values turn out to be in column vector format,
%%%% and need to be reshaped into being the same size as image matrices.
anat_RGB(:,:,RGB_dim) = reshape( colour_slab_vals_for_anat, size(anat64));
Tmap_RGB(:,:,RGB_dim) = reshape( colour_slab_vals_for_Tmap, size(Tmap64));
end; % End of loop through the RGB dimension.
%%%% Now that we've made our RGB images, let's look at them
%%%% Note that these types of images do *not* have colormaps.
%%%% Every image pixel has three numbers attached to it, not just one,
%%%% and those three numbers define the colour for that pixel directly,
%%%% by giving its R, G and B values.

2.4 并按照RGB方式显示功能图：

2.5 对阈值图做透明化处理，然后叠加到解剖图上：
Tmap_opacity = 0.4; % 0.4 is a reasonable opacity value to try first
%%%% Make a place-holder matrix to hold the compound weighted-sum image
compound_RGB = zeros(size(anat64,1), size(anat64,2), 3);
%%% The anat and the T-map are the same size,
%%% we could have chosen either.
%%% Now build up the compound image, one colour-slab at a time, like above.
%%% Where the T-map is below threshold, we only want the anatomical's values.
%%% Where the T-map is above-threshold, we want a weighted sum
%%% of the T-map RGB values and the anatomical's RGB values.
for RGB_dim = 1:3, %%% Loop through the three slabs: R, G, and B
compound_RGB(:,:,RGB_dim) = ...
(thresholded_Tmap==0) .* ... % Where T-map is below threshold
anat_RGB(:,:,RGB_dim) + ...
(thresholded_Tmap>0).* ... % Where T-map is above threshold
( (1-Tmap_opacity) * anat_RGB(:,:,RGB_dim) + ...
Tmap_opacity * Tmap_RGB(:,:,RGB_dim) );
% Opacity-weighted sum of anatomical and T-map
end;
%%%% Before displaying our newly-made compound image,
%%%% we have to make sure that none of the RGB values exceeds 1.
compound_RGB = min(compound_RGB,1);
%%%% Now let's look at the fruit of our labours!

axis('image');

2.6 尝试不同的不透明度进行显示
figure(6);
clf;
for i = 1:4,
Tmap_opacity = 0.25*i; % This will give opacities: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1

max_Tmap_value = max(max(Tmap_slice_vals));
desired_colorbar_labels = [ 0 : 2 : max_Tmap_value ];
%%% Start at 0, go up in steps of 2 until we hit the max value
%%%% We can fit these onto the 1-to-64 scale in the same way as we did above
corresponding_values_on_1_to_64_scale = ...

2.8 这里是提供一种替代方案，不用RGB显示，而是将colormap扩大，以容纳更多的颜色：

% between 1 and 64 will all be coloured from the gray part of the colormap.
% Any image intensities betwen 65 and 128 will be coloured from the hot part.
%
% Above, we already made versions of our anatomical and T-map images
% that were scaled from 1 to 64.
% So, we just need to add another 64 to our T-map image, and
% make an image that has the anatomical's values in places where

% in places where the T-map is above-threshold.

%%%% Tutorial on how to show statistical maps overlaid %%%% on top of anatomical images in Matlab. %%%% Written by Rajeev Raizada, July 24, 2002. %%%% %%%% For a gentle intro to displaying brain images in Matlab, %%%% look at the program "showing_brain_images_tutorial.m" %%%% %%%% Overlaying T-maps on top of anatomical images is %%%% quite a bit more tricky than simply showing anatomicals, %%%% so look at the "showing_brain_images_tutorial.m" program %%%% before this one, if you want a general intro to image displays. %%%% This program is not intended to be a self-contained intro %%%% to Matlab and image-displaying. %%%% For an intro, you should refer to showing_brain_images_tutorial.m %%%% %%%% To run either program, you need the file containing the brain images: %%%% speech_brain_images.mat (2.3Mb) %%%% %%%% Please mail any comments or suggestions to: [email protected] %%%% Often we want to overlay a coloured statistical map %%%% on top of a grayscale anatomical map. %%%% If you want a nice, graphical-user-interface based program that %%%% will do this for you, then check out Matthew Brett's display_slices.m, %%%% which you can download from: %%%% http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/Imaging/display_slices.html %%%% %%%% The program below shows how you can make such overlays yourself. %%%% In showing_brain_images_tutorial.m we saw how to use different %%%% Matlab colormaps. So, you might think that to overlay a T-map %%%% on top of an anatomical image, we would simply draw the anatomical %%%% using colormap gray, and then draw the T-map on top of it using %%%% colormap hot. %%%% Unfortunately, it isn't quite that easy, because Matlab only lets %%%% you have one colormap per figure window. %%%% One way of getting round this obstacle would be to make %%%% a big compound colormap made up of the gray and hot colormaps %%%% joined together. That's shown at the end of this program, in Figure 8. %%%% %%%% However, a more flexible approach is not to use a colormap at all, %%%% but instead to specify a real RGB (red-green-blue) colour value %%%% for every voxel in the image. The main advantage of this %%%% is that it lets you make the coloured statistical overlay transparent, %%%% by making a weighted-combination of the anatomical %%%% and statistical images. %%%% (In Matlab 6, there is a new way of making images transparent, %%%% using a new image-property called "alphadata". But the RGB method that %%%% is shown in this program is more general, and works with Matlab 5 too). %%%% %%%% To figure out what RGB values to give, we can read in the RGB values %%%% from the Matlab colormap matrices. That way, we get to use the %%%% nice colour-scheme of a pre-made Matlab colormap, without being %%%% bound by the inflexibility that using a real colormap imposes. %%%% %%%% The structure of a Matlab colormap matrix is as follows: %%%% There are 64 rows, and three columns. %%%% When we image a matrix unscaled, i.e. using image() instead of imagesc(), %%%% Matlab takes each matrix-element, sees what whole-number from 1 to 64 %%%% its value is closest to, and looks up the values in that row of the %%%% colormap matrix. The three values in that row are the RGB values %%%% for the colour that this element will have when it's drawn in the image. %%%% E.g. suppose the element has the value 25. Then that element will %%%% get shown with the RGB values from the 25th row of the colormap matrix. %%%% %%%% The trick that we'll use below will be to scale our anatomical and T-map %%%% images from 1 to 64, then read in the RGB values from the corresponding %%%% rows of the gray and hot colormap matrices. %%%% %%%% Then we'll have an RGB image for the anatomical that will be %%%% made only of shades of gray, because it will be made from rows %%%% of the gray colormap matrix. And we'll have an RGB image for the T-map %%%% that will be made out of rows from the hot colormap matrix. %%%% %%%% Then we can make a weighted sum of these two images and display it. %%%%%%% First, load in the file containing the brain images load speech_brain_images.mat %%%% Let's look at the 18th axial slice. %%%% This goes through Heschl's gyrus, which is auditory cortex axial_slice_number = 18; %%%% Read the values from the 3D matrix subj_3danat anat_slice_vals = subj_3danat(:,:,axial_slice_number); %%%% Use squeeze to get rid of any redundant 3rd dimension that %%%% might be left over.
