Reading ascii files with tksurfer
by Emma Robinson 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, Can I read ascii surface files using tksurfer? I have tried loading them as surfaces and overlays but without success. Alternatively is there a tool for vtk to surface conversion? Thanks in advance Emma Robinson

segmentation error
by Alfredo Damasceno 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hello freesufers, I was inspecting my images for segmentation erros and I found some images where the temporal cortex is correcly identified as cortex but the pial surface line is not correctly outlining this structure (blue arrows in attached figure). How should I proceed to correct it? Thanks in advance Alfredo

Is there a good method to segment choroid plexus and calculate volume? I know it's an aseg label. Thanks, Tracy

problem with annotation to label
by kwa1＠rice.edu 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hello, I am deriving a cortical region of interest label from FS from a series of normal controls. I have tried two different methods of obtaining these labels to see which is more consistent but neither are really acceptable. I am interested in the temporal pole label so first I did the normal mri_annotation2label for each subject but I don't know if it is a problem with segmentation or with vertex assignment, the TP labels can be wide and ranging and not consistent. Additionally, I tried taking the fsaverage subject and doing a label2label to map that TP label on to all the subjects but that was not good either. Does anyone know potentially what the problem can be and do you have any suggestions about how I can automatically derive a temporal pole label without having to get into manually drawing them (which would introduce a whole new array of issues with reliability). Thank you very much, Kareem

Mri_glmfit-sim conceptual question
by John Richey 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Dear freesurfer experts, I have a question about the conceptual use of mri_glmfit-sim. I wish to apply permutation based cluster-correction to my between-groups results (patients vs controls), and it is not clear to me which volume should be the input for this type of simulation. For example, the acceptable input for mri_glmfit-sim appears to be only the ".ces" map, which is not present in my between-groups directory, but only in my lower-level one-sample group means (osgm). This raises the question of whether to run the permutation algorithm 1) one time on the .ces map that results from the total sample OSGM (i.e. patients + controls), or 2) separately on OSGM for patients and then controls. Probably I am mistaken but neither seem to be conceptually correct, as I am mainly interested in the cwp for clusters emerging in the between-groups contrast. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

pet partial volume correction
by corinna bauer 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hi all, I am wondering if partial volume is taken into account when calculating average uptake values of pet data. I know that aseg.stats takes partial volume into account and I am wondering if there is something similar in place for pet data? From what I gather, most people when using FreeSurfer correct for partial volume effects by regressing out cortical thickness, but no basis for this correction method has been provided. Any insight would be appreciated. n.b. to obtain the pet uptake values I used mri_segstats --seg mri/aparc+aseg.mgz --sum pet.segstats.dat --i $petanat --ctab rois.txt Thank you, Corinna

FS5.1 OSX dyld: Library not loaded
by Michael O'Sullivan 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

I've encountered the same problem described below despite downloading the new version posted on 26th May. I downloaded freesurfer-Darwin-leopard-i686-stable-pub-v5.1.0.dmg today from http://www.freesurfer.net/fswiki/Download I'm running Mac OS X version 10.6.7 (Intel) On attempting to test the installation as described in the instructions with tkmedit bert orig.mgz I get the message dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/pubsw/packages/tcltktixblt/current/lib/libtk8.4.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/IRIS/freesurfer/tktools/tkmedit.bin Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap Is this the same library dependency issue, i.e. it's not fully fixed in the latest download at least not for my OS? I couldn't find any more recent posts but am new to the list, so apologies if I have. Thanks Mike Nick Schmansky Thu, 26 May 2011 05:59:24 -0700 Hyunwoo (and Mac users), A new build of v5.1 for the Mac (Leopard and Snow Leopard) has been posted. If you downloaded the one posted on May 24th, you will need to get this new one, as the one from May 24th depended on libgfortran, which is not installed natively. Sorry for any inconvenience. N.

Hi Elisa, sorry about that. Yes, use the $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage/mri.2mm/reg.2mm.mni152.dat instead. doug Elisa Golfinopoulos wrote: > Hi Doug, > > Thanks for responding to my inquiry.

MNI coordinates
by Elena Orekhova 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hi, I created a surface label from fsaverage and would like to know its coordinates in some commonly used space, such as e.g. talairach. The vertex 6111 coordinates look like this: 6111 35.2, 1.9, -27.0 0 In tksurfer the coordinates of the vertex 6111 are: Vertex RAS: (63.48 -12.29 0.35) Vertex Talairach: (62.85 -11.89 0.91) Apparently, the vertex RAS coordinates in the tksurfer do not correspond the vertex coordinates in the label. What are the label coordinates? How can I translate them to MNI/Talairach? I have seen the similar mail by Yolanda Vives, but no answer yet... Elena
