Re: [Freesurfer] integrating FSL and Freesurfer

Hi Doug Here are more detailed versions of my first two questions. 1) I used tkmedit to look at the mean_func produced by a gfeat analysis of one subject's three functional runs overlayed onto the anatomical image produced by recon-all on that same subject(bert/mri/orig.mgz). The registration matrix I used was the anat2std.dat that was produced by running reg-feat2anat on all three of the feat analyses from the individual runs. When I did this I saw that the mean_func image was outside the boundaries of the anatomical image. Correspondingly, when I overlayed the zstat.nii.gz from the gfeat analysis onto the anatomical image I had activation outside of the anatomical image brain. 2) Originally, I ran BBR on a subject that I had run Recon-all for. I used BBR to register the example_func.nii.gz to the bert/mri/orig.mgz. I had BBR output an fsl.mat. I then used ApplyXFM in fsl to apply BBR's fsl.mat to register the example_func.nii.gz onto a T1 image that had been created by converting bert/mri/brainmask.mgz into niftii with mri_convert. I tried it again, this time converting the orig.mgz to niftii. In both cases the example_func in T1 space image produced by ApplyXFM is rotated about 90 degrees and also inverted. This is viewed in fslview, The corresponding T1 images created by mri_convert are not. What can I do to allow me to use BBR's fsl.mat within ApplyXFM?

label transformation to MNI space
by Linda Douw 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Hi all, I am trying to transform some labels from the aparc to masks in MNI space. Ideally, I would like to do this for each subject in my study individually (using their own rawavg.mgz and labels), but for now I started out with fsaverage. I first converted the label file into a nifti: mri_label2vol --label ./fsaverage/label/lh.entorhinal.label --subject fsaverage --temp ./fsaverage/mri/brainmask.mgz --o lh_entorhinal.nii.gz --identity And then put the nifti file containing the label into MNI space: mri_vol2vol --mov lh_entorhinal.nii.gz --targ MNI152_T1_2mm.brain.nii.gz --o lh_entorhinal_MNI.nii.gz --reg $FREESURFER_HOME/average/mni152.register.dat But when I open lh_entorhinal_MNI.nii.gz with fslview, the location is completely wrong. I checked the location with tkregister as well: tkregister2 --mov lh_entorhinal_MNI.nii.gz --reg /$FREESURFER_HOME/average/mni152.register.dat But here the entorhinal was also in the wrong place. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks, -- Linda Douw, PhD.

Re: [Freesurfer] ERROR: comparison in expression (FS with SGE)

Sorry, I didn't notice that the reply address was not the list, I've done re-post it. Is there any method to check whether it is ok? For SGE, it might only write errors to dot e files instead of warnings. It seemed like a shell syntax error, however, I don't have that experience to check the recon-all script.

Hi Fred, yu probably checked the following already, but on the off chance you have not... Maybe you have set X11 to 256 color mode? Start X11.app (from /Applications/Utilities) go to the X11 menu, select Preferences..., switch to the tab called output and see what is selected for Colors. If it is set to 256 Colors you have your root cause, just switch to something higher and all should be fine. best Sebastian On May 9, 2010, at 9:00 AM, freesurfer-request(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu wrote: > Send Freesurfer mailing list submissions to > freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > freesurfer-request(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > freesurfer-owner(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Freesurfer digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. tksurfer/tkmedit display color fix in OSX 10.6?

downsampling 4D volume
by ythomas 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hi, I am trying to downsample a 4D volume using mri_convert. However, it seems to be killing the 4 dimension. For example, if I do mri_convert -voxsize 4 4 4 tmp.mgz tmp444.mgz The original volume which is 256 x 256 x 256 x 120 becomes 64 x 64 x 64. Thanks, Thomas

propagating labels to gray matter
by David Grayson 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi freesurfer experts, I currently have a set of cortical labels that are the result of a high-resolution parcellation of the standard aparc.annot labels (via the ‘connectomemapper’ software). I would like to extract the gray matter ROIs that correspond to these labels, and I understand that this requires a method to ‘propagate’ these labels through the gray matter. I have so far been unsuccessful – ‘mri_label2vol’ seems to only give me that pial or white surfaces, as opposed to the gray matter bodies. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thank you very much, David Grayson

recon-all error
by Chindhuri Selvadurai 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hello, I am having trouble doing a recon-all of my data. pbsubmit -m chinsel -c 'recon-all -s DODASD001 -all -i /cluster/archive/295/siemens/TrioTim-35006-20111026-155248-065000/364000-000015-000001.dcm -mail chinsel(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu' Here is the error: ERROR: no run data found in /autofs/cluster/manoach/dod/subjects/DODASD001/mri. Make sure to have a volume called 001.mgz in /autofs/cluster/manoach/dod/subjects/DODASD001/mri/orig. If you have a second run of data call it 002.mgz, etc. I usually do the recon all through launchpad first before any other preprocessing, and hadn't had a problem before? Not sure why this is the case this time. What step should be done before this to get the data in the mri? My subjects_dir is /cluster/manoach/dod/subjects Thanks so much!

Hippocampal Sub-Field Segmentation -Appropriate Scan Protocol to Use
by Joshua Lee 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Dear Experts, I've been collecting hi-res hippocampal scans with a 32 ch coil on a 3T Siemens Trio to manually segment hippocampal subfields. However, I wonder whether the protocol is appropriate for use with the new Freesurfer subfield segmentation tool. Specifically, our hi-res scan does not capture the entire brain, rather it acquires slices perpendicular to the long axis just for the length of the long axis axis. Can this scan be used for the new subfield auto-segmentation? Or does it require a whole-brain acquisition? We do acquire a 1 mm isotropic whole brain MPRage, but... Thanks for any info, Joshua

files in surf and label subfolders in a subject's folder
by Forrest Sheng Bao 31 Oct '11

hi, I wonder whether there is a document describing files in surf and label subfolders in a subject's folder. I wanna know what kind of information is stored in each of those files. Cheers, Forrest
