A note about the Freesurfer license file
by Z K 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hello All, Users on newer linux distributions who upgrade from Freesurfer version 5.3 to version 6.0 may get the following error message: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- GNU libc version: 2.17 ERROR: Systems running GNU glibc version greater than 2.15 require a newly formatted license file (it's free). Please download a new one from the following page: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a known issue, and as the message says, it is resolved by downloading a newly formatted license file from our registration page: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html Simply overwrite the old license file with the newly formatted one. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. -The Freesurfer team

mri_cvs_register: how to read/import .m3z warp file
by Stefano Zappalà 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Dear FreeSurfer Developers, I am trying to visualize and modify the output warp field (in .m3z) of a mri_cv_registration call aimed at aligning a T1w scan to the MNI space. I was wondering how file format .m3z is organized, in order to read it with, for example, matlab. Or if there are simpler file format to convert the warp field to. No information about it seems to be reported in the website. Moreover, I've searched the list and a similar question was not answered. I was wondering if you have some suggestions in reading the output warp field of mri_cvs_register. 1) FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c 2) Platform: ubuntu 16.04 LTS Many thanks, Stefano.

Version 6.0 - ?h.white.preaparc vs. ?h.white for determining the need to edit brainmask.mgz, wm.mgz, add control points, etc.
by Mira Michelle Raman 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

Hi, My main question to the 6.0 experts is: Is the lh.white.preaparc close enough to the lh.white to determine whether editing is needed (brainmask.mgz, wm.mgz,control points) or do we need to run the full pipeline and get ?h.white? Here's the reasoning behind this question. In previous versions of Freesurfer we have run -autorecon1 -autorecon2, then checked surfaces, made edits if needed, and then only after we were satisfied with the surfaces we ran -autorecon3. Primarily we have done this for 2 reason, first is to save processing time, on both the initial pass and running -autorecon2-cp or -autorecon2-wm. We also use this as a quality control method, in which ONLY subjects whose surfaces have been verified, have been through -autorecon3, those that haven't, don't have stats files, and thus can't get inadvertently included with finished data. If ?h.white.preaparc doesn't topologically differ from the ?h.white could we use it for determining what edits to do? if it does differ obviously we will have to run the whole pipeline. Thank you in advance for your guidance. Sincerely, Mira _______________________________________________ Mira Michelle Raman Lead Scientific Programmer The Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research Stanford University 401 Quarry Rd, Ste. 1356

Using own parcellation atlas
by Julie Hall 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Hi experts, I would like to use a different atlas other than the 'default' Freesurfer atlases, namely the Gordon Parcellation (surface based parcellation of 333 ROIs of the cortex) to segment my T1 datasets. So I can go on to use these segmentations for DTI connectome analysis using MRTrix (or MatLab). I have two questions: - I have this atlas as a nifti file. Do I need to transform this atlas into a different file for it to run in freesurfer? - Can I run this step in autorecon3 (step 28)? Or should I rerun recon-all all together? If so, could you help me with what commands I need to run (mris_ca_train?)” Thank you, Julie

Re: [Freesurfer] [Announcement] Freesurfer v6.0 beta release and testing
by Elijah Mak 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi ZK, Thanks. It is great news! I would like to report the following. asegstats2table seems to be acting strangely. File "/Applications/freesurfer_b6/bin/asegstats2table", line 195 print 'ERROR: subjects are not specified (use --subjects SUBJECTS)' Even typing asegstats2table --help leads to the same error message. It was not found in a prev dev built or in 5.3. Thanks. Also, not sure if it's placebo, but freeview seems to be running quicker now. Best Wishes, Elijah

Medial Surface Problem
by Bronwyn Overs 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi mailing list, I am currently processing a longitudinal image and have come across a problem at the medial surface in the long image (step 3). As you can see in the attached image, the rh medial surface has been significantly overestimated and extends into the lh surface. This error showed up only in only 1 of the 2 long images for this subject, and both the time-point images and the base are perfectly fine. Do you know why this is happening? Kind regards, Bronwyn Overs Research Assistant Neuroscience Research Australia Margarete Ainsworth Building Barker Street Randwick Sydney NSW 2031 Australia M 0411 308 769 T +61 2 9399 1883 F +61 2 9399 1265 neura.edu.au <http://neura.edu.au/> <https://twitter.com/neuraustralia> <https://www.facebook.com/NeuroscienceResearchAustralia> <http://www.neura.edu.au/help-research/subscribe>

output with input matrix size and referential
by pierre deman 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Hello, I am trying to have the atlases aparc.a2009+aseg.mgz, hippocampal subfield etc ... in a matrix with the same size as the input of recon-all (and not the cubic matrix 256x256x256) and with the same orientation. what is the best way to do it ?

RBV PVC: Saving output file before upsampling
by SudEEpti 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Hello, Is there a way to save the PVC (RBV) output in native PET resolution, before upsampling? Would you also be able to share the command that is used for upsampling? I would like to play with a different type of interpolation. Thank you very much. Su
