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

selxavg3 error : NaN in Xtmp.mat file
by Sid Kundu 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi Doug, I created a new first level analysis along with new contrasts and event numbers for a group of subjects I had previously done analyses on. All but one of the subjects finished selxavg3 without error, but one subject gave the following error: Saving X matrix to /home/sidkundu/freesurfer/sessions/Heading-TTP/LMV2010_N19_Heading-TTP/bold/TTP-analysis-3/Xtmp.mat Error using svd Input to SVD must not contain NaN or Inf. Error in cond (line 39) s = svd(A); Error in fast_selxavg3 (line 248) XCond = cond(XtX); >> ------------------------------------------ ERROR: fast_selxavg3() failed\n I looked at the generated Xtmp.mat file and it shows the design matrix X has all zeros in 2 columns, resulting in NaNs in the same columns for Xn, and corresponding NaNs in XtX. I'm wondering what would cause this or why it would only occur for only one subject. _________________________________ Sid Kundu Biomedical Engineering Boston University

flipping surface data
by kelsi 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi Freesurfers, Is there a tool to flip the orientation of surface data to the opposite hemisphere? We are working with stroke patients, and I would like to do analysis of the contralesional hemisphere of all the patients. However, this requires putting them on the same hemisphere for ttests, etc. I saw an earlier thread online about a program for flipping in the works, I was just wondering if this is now possible? Thank you! Kelsi

Freesurfer and FSL
by Ana Arruda 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Dear experts, I'm an MSc student and part of my final project is related to the measurement of the volume of the hippocampus. The last thing I have to do is to compare two softwares, FSL and Freesurfer. On Freesurfer, I've used the following commands: recon-all -i where_my_subject_is -autorecon1 -s output_name then, related to the same subject recon-all -autorecon2 -s output_name After approximately 12 hours, and after comparing the results of Freesurfer and FSL, I found that those obtained with Freesurfer are bigger than those obtained with FSL. According to the literature the results are the reverse. Do you know any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for your attention, Ana Arruda

Re: [Freesurfer] integrating FSL and Freesurfer
by noam Schneck 09 Oct '12

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?

Error with mri_volcluster

Dear Doug, I was running the mri_glmfit-sim \ --glmdir GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir \ --sim perm 1000 3 permcsd \ --sim-sign abs \ --cwpvalthresh .05 just to get an idea of how my FA Group Analysis data is looking and I got an error before to get the permcsd.sig.cluster.summary file from the mri_volcluster: mri_volcluster --in GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/sig.mgh --mask GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/mask.mgh --reg /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/mri.2mm/reg.2mm.dat --no-fixmni --cwsig GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.sig.cluster.mgh --sum GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.sig.cluster.summary --ocn GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.sig.ocn.mgh --cwpvalthresh .05 --seg fsaverage aparc+aseg.mgz --csdpdf GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.pdf.dat --csd GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/csd/permcsd.j001-contrast.csd --vwsig GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.sig.voxel.mgh ERROR: cannot find /media/2Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/GLM_CVS/fsaverage/mri/aparc+aseg.mgz I replaced the fsaverage/mri/aparc+aseg.mgz with the cvs_avg35/mri/aseg.mgz and to get the cluster summary I was running: mri_volcluster --in GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/sig.mgh --mask GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/mask.mgh --reg /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/mri.2mm/reg.2mm.dat --no-fixmni --cwsig GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.sig.cluster.mgh --sum GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.sig.cluster.summary --ocn GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.sig.ocn.mgh --cwpvalthresh .05 --seg cvs_avg35 aseg.mgz --csdpdf GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.pdf.dat --csd GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/csd/permcsd.j001-contrast.csd --vwsig GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/contrast/permcsd.sig.voxel.mgh but then I am getting the following error: NOT Adjusting threshold for 1-tailed test Using defalt ctab /usr/local/freesurfer/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt INFO: loading mask volume: GroupAnalysis_abs.glmdir/mask.mgh INFO: MRIbinarize01(): nhits = 961260 Found 961260 voxels in mask ERROR: Input volume voxel dimensions do not match those in the registration file. If the input volume is in bshort/bfloat format, check that there is an accompanying bhdr file. Can you please help me to solve this problem. I am not sure what to do. Thank you very much! Antonella PS. Just to remember you that I registered my FA data over the CVS space but I have for each subject from dt_recom the register.dat file so I suppose I need to keeo the fsaverage in the --reg COMMAND-LINE ARGUMENTS.

significant variation in Hippocampal volume in between scans of same subject
by Rashmi Singh 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hello, I am finding differences in hippocampus voulme of same subject when scanned at different times . Our study requires our subjects to be scanned 3-4 times (T0-T3) within a period of 1 month. We have performed MRI Scanning on all our subjects with same sequence using 3T GE scanner. Please suggest the reason behind this difference and how would I go about correcting it. For example following are the hippocampal values for two subjects ( A and AA ) calculated by freesurfer from different scans. Surprisingly for these two subjects T3 and T2 Hipp-values for A and AA respectively that are differing from the other timepoints are same. Left-Hippocampus Right-Hippocampus A.T0 3537 3632 A.T1 3629 3796 A.T2 3536 3782 A.T3 3096 3671 AA.T1 4245 4667 AA.T2 3096 3671 AA.T3 4341 4491 ________________________________ This document may contain information covered under the Privacy Act, 5 USC 552(a), and/or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (PL 104-191) and its various implementing regulations and must be protected in accordance with those provisions.

Hi Freesurfer experts, A newbie question regarding working with QDEC. When I try to upload the qdec.table.dat file (attached) an error messages pops up "Error loading the data table". To the best of my knowledge I've followed the guidelines on the tutorial in terms of formatting. What would be your suggestions to troubleshoot this? Thanks! Fidel
