My apologies, how can I visualize mri_binarize output? I tried in fslview but orientation is wrong. Different orientation is a file's feature or swapdim is request?

Hi Sampada, Please cc the freesurfer list when answering/asking questions so others can answer too. And also people with similar issues will benefit from the discussion. see inline for my responses.

You can edit dcm2nii.ini file using any text editor after it is created automatically (by running dcm2nii for the first time). It operates like a shell program and can be run from your analysis directory by sourcing it first. If you look at the dcm2nii file you can use custom settings. To get the output nii as a single file set the SingleNIIFile=1 and 4D=1, otherwise by default you get the img/hdr pairs If further you want nii.gz instead of nii files, use Gzip=1 setting If this doesn't work, you could use the Windows version to convert with the same settings that I describe above. > If yes, will you please let me know?

The dcm files can be anywhere, you have to source them correctly by providing the correct path.

Hello Shantanu, Thanks for your reply.I tried using that as well. And it says that the file is only 'read' file. I used chmod on unix but still its not working with dcm2nii. Interstingly, when I used mriconvert software for this,it converted all the dcm files to .img/.hdr files. This process resulted in eight folders (in .img/.hdr format) in the order of T1>T2>T1>T2>DTI>T1(resting stage)>T2 (in the order of the acquisition acquired at the time of experiment). Is there any special command you are using to convert those files Shantanu? If yes, will you please let me know? Where do you keep your dcm files (iyou don't mind me asking that)? I tried changing the location from Desktop to Applications/freesurfer as well, but its still not working.

order of edits and autorecon commands
by Elissa McIntosh 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

This is a basic question about the process for manual edits and the autorecon commands. I am going to follow the recommended reconstruction page (on fs wiki) to make manual edits on my data. The page says that you can make all the manual edits at once. But my question is, how do you go about running the autorecon commands specific to each type of edit? Do you run each command separately after you're done saving all your manual edits? It seems that some of the steps are redundant (like running autorecon 3 more than once). Also, if I make changes to skullstip, will I have to do the recon again before doing additional edits? Here is an example where my questions would need to be addressed. Say I had to add control points to wm, and erase some voxels from the pial. Do I make edits and run the commands to fix these problems separately (i.e. make wm edits and subsequently run appropriate recon steps specified in wiki, then make pial edits and run specified recon steps), or do I make any types of edits at once (control points, add/delete voxels, etc.) and then run each command separately, or do I make any types of edits at once and somehow combine these different commands into one step? I'm sorry if this is confusing - I am just trying to grasp how to approach manual edits in the "order" listed in the recommended reconstruction page. Thank you! Elissa

Extract ROI from anatomical volume
by pfotiad＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hi FS experts, I was wondering what the best way to extract an ROI from an anatomical volume would be. For instance, I would like to create a volume of only the wm-lh-precentral based on the orig.mgz volume and on the segmentation map wmparc.mgz. I know that something similar can be done with the mri_extract_label command, but if I'm not mistaken that command can only be applied to a segmentation volume, and not on an anatomical volume like orig.mgz. Thanks in advance, Panos

Question about visualization on the surface
by Kaveh Kohan 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Dear All, This probably a newbie question, so I apologize if it is a naive one, please bear with me. I have on value for each ROI on the surface of brain and one value for each sub-cortical structures. Those ROIs and sub-cortical structures correspond to freesurfer atlas. I have three questions: * I am not sure which freesurfer ATLAS these values correspond to? Is there any way to tell from the name of structures? I have attached two text files including the header of the tables. * How can I visualize those values on the inflated brain? Something like this: http://pysurfer.github.io/examples/plot_parc_values.html This package is a great but unfortunately very unstable (at least on my laptop). It visualizes the brain but crashes immediately! No time to save the results. Is there any MATLAB equivalent? * What is the best way to visualize the values for the subcortical structures? Any comment is highly appreciated, Again, I am sorry if those are naive questions. Thanks,
