mri_convert : ERROR: cannot unpack mosiacs without ASCII header
by Koubiyr, Ismail 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hi everyone, I’m having some issues converting my DICOMs (DWI) into NIFTI using mri_convert. I looked for other topics with people having the same kind of problem but couldn’t find an answer. Each time I run mri_convert on my DICOMs I get the following error : WARNING: file MR.1.3.12.2.1107.5.2.19.45306.2014091812330393354083931 does not contain a Siemens ASCII header has this file been anonymized?

Freesurfer build stamps do not match
by Lee Subin Kristine 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hi FreeSurfer Team, After I have downloaded the FreeSurfer dev version, I get the following error whenever I use the recon-all comand: mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/NYS': Permission denied mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/NYS': Permission denied mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/NYS': Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/NYS/scripts/build-stamp.txt': No such file or directory cat: /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/NYS/scripts/build-stamp.txt: No such file or directory INFO: FreeSurfer build stamps do not match Subject Stamp: Current Stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-dev-20160611-876a0e6 /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/NYS/scripts/patchdir.txt: No such file or directory. recon-all used to work fine when I used the stable 5.3 version. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I previously ran recon-all in v.5.3, and so the current subject directory's stamp is still 5.3 (or blank..) and it does not match the current stamp of the dev version? I am not sure.. Could anyone tell me how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance, Subin

Combined parcellation of the left and right hemispheres
by varshas＠cns.iisc.ernet.in 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hi, I've been working on getting a finer parcellation of the Desikan-Killiany atlas using mris_divide_parcellation. I was able to generate two annotation files; one each for the left and right hemisphere. I want to create a volume similar to aparc+aseg.mgz, containing the labels and indices of the ROIs from both hemispheres. I tried using mri_label2vol. However, this gives me two separate volumes for the left and right hemispheres. Is there a way to combine these volumes into one? Alternatively, can one generate such a volume form an annotation file that has information of both hemispheres? Any help is greatly appreciated! Regards, Varsha

tkmedit issue - image too bright in tkmedit after running gcut
by Uquillas, Federico D'Oleire 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi fellow FreeSurfer users, I just did a gcut procedure and now that I'm opening it up again to check out how it went the brain is so bright I can't see white matter and gray matter contrast. Anybody ever experience this before? I tried exiting the terminal, and opening it again, but that doesn't do the trick. I'm opening up the image in tkmedit. If I use Freeview, the image looks fine and is not super bright as when I open it up in tkmedit. Not sure what is going on. Any thoughts? Best, Fred

Beta-Zero Correction - No Phase File
by Afzal, Afsana 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi, I'm working with a dataset that outputs only one file (not two separate mag and phase files) for the fieldmap. The data was also collected on non-Siemens scanners: Philips Ingenia and GE SIGNA HDx (not sure if this is the reason the fieldmaps are unpacking differently). I've attached the .dat file for one of the fieldmaps in this email. If there a way to separate out the mag and phase from the single fieldmap file so I can use epidewarp.fsl? Thanks, Afsana ______________________________ Afsana Afzal Clinical Research Coordinator Massachusetts General Hospital Division of Neurotherapeutics Department of Psychiatry: Neurosciences 149 13th St, Room 2612 Charlestown, MA 02129 Phone: 617-643-5129 Fax: 617-726-4078

Re: [Freesurfer] Fwd: question about voxel size
by Dorsa Haji Ghaffari 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi Bruce, that is a 3TS T1 weighted image and is taken after the patients have taken the contrast medium. I have played with the intensities in Analyze and this is the best I could get. Do you have any suggestions for getting better contrast?

Dear colleagues, The Penn Frontotemporal Degeneration Center at the University of Pennsylvania (http://ftd.med.upenn.edu/) is seeking a research coordinator for the multi-site FTD Connectome study. Please see the details below; applications should be directed to http://jobs.hr.upenn.edu/postings/18756. Thanks, Jeff Phillips Postdoctoral Fellow Penn FTD Center University of Pennsylvania Duties: The primary responsibility of the successful candidate will be the coordination of a multi-site consortium using a novel approach to neuroimaging of neurodegenerative diseases. The lead site is Penn, and participating sites include Mayo Clinic, UCSF, MGH and Northwestern. All sites have specialized neuroimaging equipment, and we will be using advanced neuroimaging tools developed locally and in collaboration with the Human Connectome Project (HCP) to analyze the acquired data. The successful candidate also will be responsible for managing the Penn site. This project is coordinated with two other multi-site registries involving these same sites that are recruiting participants for this neuroimaging project (and other studies). Participants will include: 1. healthy control subjects; 2. individuals who have a frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) spectrum disorder such as primary progressive aphasia, progressive supranuclear palsy, or FTD with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; and 3. individuals who are carrying a mutation that has resulted in an FTD spectrum disorder or are at risk for developing a FTD-spectrum disorder. Coordination will include weekly meetings with project coordinators at the other participating sites, developing reports for monthly meetings with NIH and principal investigators at other sites, monitoring imaging data flow to our coordinating site, monitoring the database that tracks participants, monitoring data flow from Penn to the HCP coordinating center, and managing requests for data from investigators. Other administrative responsibilities will include help managing the consortium budget. Local site responsibilities will include assistance with on-going recruitment processes, helping to collect imaging data, managing the local budget, supervising local technical and research staff, and participating in imaging analyses. Also included are implementation of Connectome imaging analysis and operation of the Prisma MRI scanner. Position is contingent on continued funding.

PVE correction tool on Freesurfer 6
by Lee Subin Kristine 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, I am trying to use PVE correction on preprocessed PET data downloaded from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative(ADNI) database. I have a couple of questions: 1) I am using the co-registered, averaged image of the dynamic images, and it seems from your answers here (https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg43435.html)<https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg43435.html>that for static PET images, #3~5 will be different. Could you explain how I would need to enter the command differently? 2) I already have segmentations of my MRI images obtained via FreeSurfer(v.5.2)'s cortical parcellation. Would I still have to do procedure #1 (gtmeseg --s subject) ? I did try using xcerebralseg because it seemed from the help command that in my case where I already have some FS segmentations that I should use this one: You can use your own segmentation or a modified FS segmentation. It will be easiest if you modify apas+head.mgz to insert your segmentations. apas+head.mgz is created by gtmseg but you can create it with xcerebralseg --s $subject --o $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subject/mri/apas+head.mgz However when I do try I got the following error: ERROR: could not open /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/002_S_4213/stats/002_S_4213/mri/apas+head.stats for writing Errno: No such file or directory Thanks a lot in advance, Regards, Subin
