Question about running kvlQuantifyHippocampalSubfieldSegmentations.sh
by Yang, Zoe 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi all, I am getting error messages while running kvlQuantifyHippocampalSubfieldSegmentations.sh, similar to the error mentioned in an earlier email (http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg24430.html) We did use the -hippo-subfields flag for all of our subjects first, and the output was 20 left and right subfield mgz files (it completed without any errors). The subjects had already undergone the standard volumetric FreeSurfer pipeline and therefore we ran the command: recon-all -s subjectID -hippo-subfields. The error message for kvlQuantifyHippocampalSubfieldSegmentation that I'm getting is: resultsDirectory ***/HIPPOCAMPAL_TEST cd ***/HIPPOCAMPAL_TEST resultsDirectory ***/HIPPOCAMPAL_TEST startIndex: 1 endIndex: 2 cd subjectID_recon/ Quantifying subject ID_recon left Doing left side cd left cd segmentationWithoutPartialVolumingLog kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages /Applications/freesurfer/data/GEMS/compressionLookupTable_left.txt posterior_Left-Hippocampus.mgz posterior_left_presubiculum.mgz posterior_left_CA1.mgz posterior_left_CA2-3.mgz posterior_left_fimbria.mgz posterior_left_subiculum.mgz posterior_left_CA4-DG.mgz posterior_left_hippocampal_fissure.mgz > volumeStats_left.txt terminate called after throwing an instance of 'itk::ExceptionObject' what(): itkMGHImageIO.cxx:216: itk::ERROR: MGHImageIO(0x46b690): Can't find/open file: posterior_Left-Hippocampus.mgz kvlQuantifyHippocampalSubfieldSegmentations.sh: line 22: 50779 Abort trap kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages /Applications/freesurfer/data/GEMS/compressionLookupTable_left.txt posterior_Left-Hippocampus.mgz posterior_left_presubiculum.mgz posterior_left_CA1.mgz posterior_left_CA2-3.mgz posterior_left_fimbria.mgz posterior_left_subiculum.mgz posterior_left_CA4-DG.mgz posterior_left_hippocampal_fissure.mgz > volumeStats_left.txt failed to do kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages /Applications/freesurfer/data/GEMS/compressionLookupTable_left.txt posterior_Left-Hippocampus.mgz posterior_left_presubiculum.mgz posterior_left_CA1.mgz posterior_left_CA2-3.mgz posterior_left_fimbria.mgz posterior_left_subiculum.mgz posterior_left_CA4-DG.mgz posterior_left_hippocampal_fissure.mgz > volumeStats_left.txt Is there anything else that we are missing and should run?

Must have compute capability 2 for GCAMORPH_ON_GPU CUDA device
by Clive Wong 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Dear experts, I'm new to CUDA. I tried to use CUDA in my environment, it gives the message below: Testing for CUDA device: nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver Copyright (c) 2005-2012 NVIDIA Corporation Built on Fri_Sep_21_17:28:58_PDT_2012 Cuda compilation tools, release 5.0, V0.2.1221 Driver : 5.0 Runtime : 5.0 Acquiring CUDA device Using default device Must have compute capability 2 for GCAMORPH_ON_GPU CUDA device: Quadro NVS 420 I've checked that the Quadro NVS400 is of compute capability 1.1. and the script devicemanagement.c has blocked devices below compute capability 2. Is there any workaround to get it work? Or shall I compile the freesurfer from source code? If yes, how could I know how to setup the configuration? Thanks, Clive

Re: [Freesurfer] qdec differences in FS 5.0 vs 5.3 (Douglas Greve)
by Maria Kharitonova 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi, sorry I must have missed your response last week. Yes, I'm doing an identical analysis: comparing 2 groups of kids (controls and ADHD) in cortical thickness, controlling for age and demeaned ICV (nuisance). So all the parameters are the same. I'm attaching 3 screen shots: group differences using 5.0 before using Monte Carlo correction (lots of clusters), group differences before correction using 5.3 (few small clusters), and group differences using 5.0 after correction (frontal cluster). there was nothing sig. remaining after correcting for multi. comparisons using 5.3. I'm puzzled about why the differences are so large. I selected DODS in 5.0, so everything should be the same? Thanks!

IndexError: list index out of range in post-processing of longitudinal data
by Sandra Preissler 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Dear freesurfer users, we wanted to do longitudinal analyses for two different time points. So we did the longitudinal processing as described in the tutorial (http://ftp.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/LongitudinalTutorial#Prepa…) The "Post-Processing Longitudinal Data" step does not work. (long_mris_slopes --qdec ./qdec/long.qdec.table.dat --meas thickness --hemi lh --do-avg --do-rate --do-pc1 --do-spc --do-stack --do-label --time years --qcache fsaverage ) After starting the process we get the following error message: Parsing the qdec table: ./qdec/long.qdec.table.dat Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/freesurfer/bin/long_mris_slopes", line 521, in <module> qdectable = LongQdecTable(options.qdec) File "/srv/freesurfer/bin/LongQdecTable.py", line 30, in __init__ self.parse(stpmap) File "/srv/freesurfer/bin/LongQdecTable.py", line 58, in parse if strlst[0].upper() == 'SUBJECTS_DIR': IndexError: list index out of range Weve already tried a lot of things, like removing subjects from the longitudinal qdec table, except for one subject, or deleting every command that was optional, but it still does not work. The information about the freesurfer version and linux version used are: FREESURFER_HOME: /opt/freesurfer Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.1.0 Kernel info: Linux 2.6.34.10-0.6-default x86_64 Can you help us in fixing this problem? Thanks in advance! Sandra ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent through https://webmail.uni-jena.de

freesurfer registration
by Parker, Christopher 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi, I understand that the recon-all script registers and then averages two anatomical images (after bias field correction) if two are provided in the "orig" folder, before performing the other parcellation stages. I am writing a report and it might be good to mentioned what registration is used. I'm guessing this is a rigid registration using sum of squared differences cost function? Best, Chris

Re: [Freesurfer] ribbon label volume mapping
by Colin Reveley 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Doug - thanks that sounds well worth trying. the labels we have have arbitrary spatial resolution in the saggital plane, and 1mm gaps between saggital slices. In general in this project we are using an isotropic resolution of 0.25mm. To generate surfaces in freesurfer I have to downsample to 0.35mm (to fit into 256) in applying the procedure you suggest a) is it possible to use a volume with a dimension > 256? b) is it possible to use a non-isotropic resolution? playing around with non-isotropic resolutions, projection fractions and vote would yield different results. c) can mri_aparc2aseg output a volume > 256? 0.35 isotropic will be ok. we'd prefer 0.25 if we can. best Colin > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Douglas Greve <greve(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> > To: <freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> > Cc: > Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2013 20:03:09 -0700 > Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] ribbon label volume mapping > > You could run mri_vol2surf at different projection fractions (and using > nearest neighbor interp).

Monte Carlo simulation: Talairach coordinates
by Emily Boeke 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi All, I'm running Monte Carlo simulations on functional data, and the coordinate information outputted in the cluster.summary file isn't making sense. Usually the coordinates for the clusters listed are Talairach coordinates, but in the .summary files I'm getting, the coordinates are labeled "VoxX VoxY VoxZ" instead of "TalX TalY TalZ" and the numbers are clearly not Talairach coordinates. Above the table, it says "Reporting Coordinates in Voxel Indices." I also noted that in the descriptive information above the table, it says "Registration: None: Tal Coords invalid." However, the .nii files I'm seeing look like I would expect them too. I'm using the same command line I've run before, so I have no idea why the .summary file looks different. Does anyone know why this would be? Thanks, Emily

problem with surface area regression
by wen.zhang55 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Dear Freesurfer, I have checked the mail list, none could answer my problem. I added up the value of all vertxes in the .area or .area.pial files, find that brain size did not contribute much to that vertex-sum. However, some experiment used total brain volume as a regreesion coefficient to remove brain size effect. In these case, with the comparison of surface area in vertex-to-vertex, is it proper to use the above vertex-sum as the regression coefficient to remove different brain size? Thank you very much!

freeview: create ROI in inflated surface
by Garikoitz Lerma-Usabiaga 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi list, is it possible to create a ROI in an inflated surface within freeview or do I have to use tksurfer? It seems that I only can edit volume files. After exploratory mri_glmfit, I want to outline a ROI in fsaverage inflated surface and afterwards create a label to obtain CT averages per every subject. Many thanks! Gari
