Re: [Freesurfer] Fwd: white matter and pial surface don't track sulcus
by Darren Gitelman 06 Dec '13

Yes. That's it. I tried editing the wm.mgz earlier and deleting all voxels labels as ventricle (250) but that didn't solve the problem. Do I edit the aseg.mgz file and just label it as none in this region? Would I use the command tkmedit <subjid> brainmask.mgz -aux brain.finalsurfs.mgz -surfs -segmentation aseg.mgz $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt When done do I run recon-all -autorecon2-noaseg -autorecon3?

hippocampal segmentation converting mgz to nii
by lorenzo pasquini 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Dear freesurfer users, I have used freesurfer to segment hippocampal subfields. Then I used freeview to convert the derived .mgz files in .nii files for further analysis. I estimated the hippocampal subfields volumes with the command: kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages $ FREESURFER_HOME/ data/ GEMS/ compressionLookupTable.txt posterior_right_* posterior_Right-Hippocampus.mgz I have calculated the number of voxels in the converted .nii files using SPM and realized that they do not fit the estimated volumes through freesurfer Example for CA2-2 estimated voxel number though freesurfer: 6851 voxels found in .nii file: 15812 Did somebody had similar problems? Do you have any suggestion? Are there any incompatibilities between SPM and freesurfer? I did not find any apparent error in my counting script. Thank you very much and regards, Lorenzo Pasquini Can.

vertices don't match
by Darren Gitelman 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

Dear List I am adding to the post on this error from yesterday regarding problems with running qcache. I know this has been posted to the list before, but the suggested fixes and checks don't fix the problem. See the error below (ERROR: number of vertices in /projects/d20277/dek/done/analyzed/3300/surf/lh.volume does not match surface (145332,147148) ERROR: reading curvature file) 1) Running recon-all -s <subjid> -vno-check does not find any problems. It says everything is verified and checks out ok. 2) Running recon-all -s <subjid> -make all returns the message: make: Nothing to be done for `all'. But when I try recon-all -s <subjid> -qcache I get the error on this and several other subjects, but not all subjects. Checking the modification times on some files it looks like the thickness file came after the curv file.

Probably activation due to vessels
by Jörg Pfannmöller 07 May '13

07 May '13

Dear Freesurfers, I computed the functional activation in a sensory task using freesurfer's fsfast stream. In the cortex surface line like activated regions are present. Their extension is much larger than the extension of the expected regions. Therefore, I suppose that those regions are due to vessels. Is there a possibility in freesurfer to remove them. Ideally there would be something like a volume based mode which does not sxclude the cortex. In this mode the vessels couls be identified and removed. Any help is highly apprexiated. Respectfully yours pfannmoe

Regarding cortical thickness
by Bharti Rana 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

I am Bharti, a M.Tech./Ph.D student at School of Computer & Systems Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. My area of interest is pattern recognition and image processing. In one of my research work, i used freely available freesurfer software to find cortical thickness using recon-all -all command. But, while retrieving cortcal thickness maps using read_curv() function, i am getting different number of vertices for different brains. Are different number of cortical vertices possible for two different brains? I have gone through FAQ provided by Freesurfer but i did not find any related answer. Kindly clarify. Thanks in advance. -- Best Regards Bharti M.Tech./Ph.D. School of Computer & Systems Sciences Jawaharlal Nehru University NEW DELHI, INDIA

contrast matrix
by xiangbo_2010 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hi Freesurfer experts, I'm very sorry to bother you, but I am very confused with the following questions: My experimental design includes three discrete factors: factor 1 with three levels (A,B,C ); factor 2 with three levels (O,P,Q); gender (F, M), and one covariate. So I can get 18 classes: FAO, FAP,FAQ,FBO,FBP,FBQ,FCO,FCP,FCQ,MAO, MAP,MAQ,MBO,MBP,MBQ,MCO,MCP,MCQ. I want to perform the interaction between factor 1 and factor 2 regressing out the effect of gender and one covariate, but I don't know the rules for setting the contrasts for the F-test. The contrast matrix I used is: 1 1 1 -1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 0 1 -1 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 -1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 -1 1 0 -1 1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 -1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 0 1 -1 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 -1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 -1 1 0 -1 1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 is it correct?

Freesurfer - problem with automatic labeling of V1 using the Hinds method in 5.1.0
by Andrew Bock 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hello, I am having a similar problem to one described on the freesurfer mail archive, where I receive the following error when trying to identify V1 using the Hinds method (i.e. recon-all -s <subject> -label_v1): processing subject V1_average... MRISreadVertexPosition(white): could not open file /usr/local/freesurfer/ subjects/V1_average/surf/rh.white No such file or directory MRISreadOriginalProperties: could not read surface file white No such file or directory could not read surface positions from white No such file or directory As Prof. Krish Singh indicated in July, it appears the problem occurs when trying to open rh.white (or lh.white) from the surf subdirectory in V1_average, which doesn't exist. I have run recon-all -s <subject> -make all, but it returns "make: Nothing to be done for `all'." Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

entorhinal cortex volume question
by Cat Chong 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Hello experts, I am very new to freesurfer so please excuse my basic question: We want to get measurements of entorhinal cortex volumes on a group of people. I found these results listed in ?h.aparc.stats. I also noticed another ?h.entorhinal_exvivo.stats, with different results. Which should I use for a group analysis of entorhinal volume and surface area, and why are the results very different? very best regards, catherine

applying distortion correction output from epi_reg in fsl to freesurfer
by Ted Satterthwaite 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi Bruce, Doug, and FreeSurfer Team, We have calculated coregistrations between bold timeseries and T1 images using BBR & distortion correction as implemented in the epi_reg utility in FSL5. We would like to map our functional timeseries to surface space for connectivity analyses (analagous to papers by Yeo & Buckner). Normally, without distortion correction, we would use tkregister tp convert the rigid body coregistration calculated in fsl by flirt(.mat) to a register.dat file, and then use mri_vol2surf to birng the data to surface space. However, with distortion correction, the coregistration between the epi & T1 is represented as a deformation field (_warp.nii.gz). Is there a way for FreeSurfer to read this warp and use the information? We could of course simply do a two-step registration by moving our epi data into T1 space first using FSL and then use FreeSurfer to get it to the surface, but that would involve an extra interpolation. Are the ways to do this in one step using our already-calculated & QA'd deformation fields from FSL? Thanks so much for your time & advice. Best, Ted Satterthwaite
