FreeSurfer in Multiple Sclerosis some questions
by Pedro Paulo de Magalhães Oliveira Junior 25 May '09

25 May '09

I'm not sure whether the Freesurfer list is the appropriate place for this discussion or not, however I'll place the question here and if somebody has an idea we can discuss by pm. Regarding the paper: Focal thinning of the cerebral cortex in multiple sclerosis ( http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~fischl/reprints/Brain2003v126p1734Sailercor… ) AFAIK is the only paper using FreeSurfer to study Multiple Sclerosis. I have a PhD student who is conducting a similar study from the above mentioned paper using FreeSurfer and after data analysis we have some questions: 1) The focal thinning pattern we found is similar to the one described in Sailer's paper. Since that paper is from 2003 I suppose the 4.3 version of FreeSurfer produce results more accurate than that. So confirming that data is an important finding? 2) Studying aseg data we found important atrophy of basal ganglia and corpus callosum. Is the FreeSurfer segmentation accurate enough in presence of MS lesions in T1 imges? 3) The atrophy in corpus callosum is not accompanied by cortical thickness reduction close to this area. Speaking in general: can we think that this atrophy that affects white matter only is caused by misclassified focal lesion? Thanks in advance for any comments.

subcortical volumes - wmparc vs aseg
by Dankner, Nathan (NIH/NIMH) [F] 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi all, Is it preferable to use the volumes for subcortical structures listed in the wmparc.stats file or the aseg.stats file? I've noticed that they are different, and was wondering which was more accurate. Thanks, Nathan

longitudinal processing stream
by Dana W. Moore 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi freesurfer team, I noticed in the new version release notes that the longitudinal stream is still a work in progress. Any idea of what the time-frame is for this fix? Also, I was wondering if there is a way after longitudinal processing to look at change maps in tkmedit or tksurfer (e.g. a color-coded segmentation that shows atrophy)? Thanks, Dana Dana W.

what's the parc_dir flag in mri_ca_train
by xforever＠ucla.edu 22 May '09

22 May '09

Dear Freesurfer Experts I'm trying to train the program to recognize subcorticle structures of Vervet monkeys using command mri_ca_train. I've manually made a bunch of labels, and as I use the mri_ca_train, it stopped for no reason. On the wiki page : http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_ca_train it says a parc_dir flag is required. what is this parc_dir, and what should I put in it? thanks in advance for the help sincerely, Andy S

problems with getting started with freesurfer
by Mayuresh Korgaonkar 21 May '09

21 May '09

Dear Freesurfer authors and users, I recently installed the CentOS 4*86_64 Freesurfer v4.3.0 on a RedHat machine. After following each installation step, I have reached the testingFreesurfer module. However I seem to be having problems in running the first few steps. On running the "tkmedit bert orig.mgz" & "tkmedit bert norm.mgz -segmentation aseg.mgz $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt" commands, all I get is "Setting subject to bert" and nothing happens following that. Now, when I run the "tksurfer bert rh pial" I get errors (see at end of email). Any ideas whats going on and how I could fix this? Thanks, Mayuresh *********** error **************** [root@localhost ~]# tksurfer bert rh pial surfer: current subjects dir: /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects surfer: not in "scripts" dir ==> using cwd

flipping freesurfer format brain (mirror image)
by xforever＠ucla.edu 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi everyone, my name's Andy, I am a researcher in UCLA brain mapping group using Freesurfer we successfully generated the Surface or the vervet monkey brain, and our next step is to perform a surface segmentation using an .gcs file we created by hand. If there's anyway to flip the freesurfer format surface like .pial, .white, we'd only need one .gcs file for both hemisphere and that'd save us a lot of time. I tried using mris_transform with a xfm file, but the results turned out very weird. thanks in advance for the help Andy

how to get fsaverage after recon-all
by karlkarl 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hello, I have finished the recon-all on all the participants and ready for the group analysis. But I didn't find the fsaverage. Did I miss someting in the recon-all? How can I get the fsaverage (If I have two groups, do I need fsaverage for each group)? thanks a lot!
