Hello,
I'm a complete newbie to FreeSurfer, so I appreciate any and all help
you can provide. I am trying to use FreeSurfer to automatically create
some masks of subcortical structures, but am having trouble getting
the whole process started.
When I run "recon-all -autorecon1 -noskullstrip -s FAD" (where FAD is
my subject name) it quits with the error
"ERROR: talairach_afd: Talairach Transform: transforms/talairach.xfm
***FAILED*** (p=0.0000, pval=0.0000 < threshold=0.0050)"
I am trying to do this to a skull-stripped brain originally in Analyze
format (there are no DICOMs since it's actually an average of many
skull-stripped scans), to which I've already registered all of the
scans I want to study. I used mri_convert to convert the .img file
into a .mgz file, but compared to the bert example, the background
(non-brain area) is a light gray instead of black. I don't know if
this is where the error is occuring, and if it is, how to correct it.
If it helps, the scan I'm trying to create masks from has been
registered to the ICBM brain template.
Let me know what other information you need and thanks for the help,
-- Andrew
