Question about design matrix for surface group analysis
by 邓刊 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear freesurfer users, I have a question about the design matrix.We want to analyse the relationship between the cortical thickness and the neuropsychological test. We have two groups:TLE and extralTLE,one discrete variable:gender,and two continuous variable: neuropsychological test and age. we make the FSGD files like this:Title OSGM Class MaleTLE Class MaleextraTLE Class FemaleTLE Class FemaleexatrTLE Variables Age Neuropsychology Input subject1 MaleTLE 30 5 Input subject2 MaleextraTLE 40 6 Input subject3 FemaleTLE 50 8 Input subject4 FemaleLextraTLE 60 7 Is it right? And we want to analyze the relationship between the cortical thickness and the neuropsychology regressing out the effects of gender and age, how to make the design matrix? Look forward to your reply. Sincerely, Kan Deng

Spatial smoothing for cortical folding measures
by huyang 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear FS experts, Is it necessary to do spatial smoothing for cortical folding measures (curv/sulc/smoothwm.FI.crv/pial_lgi, etc.)? These cortical folding measures are inherently smooth based on the computation methods used. If spatial smoothing is still needed, what's the recommended smoothing kernel size? Thanks! Yang Hu

Processor speed/cores vs cache size
by Pradyumna Bharadwaj 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello, For running recon-all or tracula on a local workstation, is it recommended to go for a higher processor speed/number of cores, or a larger cache size for the processor (Intel Xeon W series). Or is it likely to be a more complex interplay between the number of recon-all processes running at any given time? Thanks, Pradyumna

HBT hippocampal segmentation
by Daniel Callow 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I was just asked by a reviewer how the head body and tail of the Freesurfer subfield segmentation is determined. I know that there is no differentiation of the tail, however, there are differentiations between the head and body of the different subfields. Are there specific anatomical boundary rules that drive the algorithm to differentiate between head and body in the HBT segmentation output. Thank you for any guidance you can provide!

Request regarding Lobular pooling
by Samson Nivins 17 Nov '19

17 Nov '19

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I am interested in summing up the lobes or make individual lobes like frontal, parietal etc. I tried using lobes strict, however, I am unable to get the data in the label format. Rather I get as annot form. Can you please help me Looking forward to hear from you " mri_annotation2label --subject 1008 --hemi rh --lobesStrict --outdir ./location" Best regards, Sam Samson Nivins | PhD Student A The University of Auckland, Liggins Institute Building 505, Level 2, 85 Park Road, Auckland Ph +(64) 21 256 5964 E samson.nivins(a)gmail.com<mailto:samson.nivins@gmail.com> [cid:image001.png@01D4C1F6.9273DF90]

bias field correction Freesurfer
by Adam Rytina 16 Nov '19

16 Nov '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello all, I have an input MR T1w series of images. I want to apply the bias field correction. According to some articles that I´ve read, bias field correction is automatically done in the standard "recon-all". Is that right - in which of 31 stages of recon-all bias filed correction is implemented? Moreover, I´ve read it´s possible to run "nu_correct" - does it perform also bias field correction? Or does it perform only intensity inhomogenity? Thanks a lot Adam

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I'm using the development version of FreeSurfer and am attempting to register two subjects using mri_cvs_register. This is the command I ran: mri_cvs_register --mov subjb/ --template subja/ Below was the outputted message: The outdir: /home/vinny/Tools/freesurfer/subjects/subjb//cvs Log file is /home/vinny/Tools/freesurfer/subjects/subjb//cvs/subjb/_to_subja/.mri_cvs_register.1911151623.log /home/vinny/Tools/freesurfer/subjects/subjb//cvs/subjb/_to_subja/.mri_cvs_register.1911151623.log: No such file or directory.

Re: [Freesurfer] Processor speed/cores vs cache size
by fsbuild 15 Nov '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello Pradyumna, I have not read thru the mailing list posts so see what other comments there may be about this, but the posted system requirements,https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/SystemRequirements- do not mention anything like Xeon class server chips. Desktop (non-server class) machines with a modern Intel i7 or i9 chip with base (non-turbo, non-overclocked) CPU speeds of ~3 GHz are common.  I’ve run a complete recon-all in about 7-8 hours on a mid-2016 MacBook Pro with a 2.9Ghz  i7 chip (4 physical, 8 virtual cores) with 16GB of old higher latency DDR3 memory using all SSD disk storage (with the machine doing nothing else). I don’t have any data w.r.t the pros/cons of L2 or L3 level cache.  I don’t know the details of how many threads the commands executed by recon-all can exploit.  From my own experience of running various commands, 4 or 8 physical cores (hyperthreaded to yield 8 or 16 cores) should be fine.   I’ve also found that 24G to 32G of RAM is helpful with performance.  Since data/files will be read/written from disk, at certain points performance could be I/O bound by how fast disk read/writes occur.  This can be helped by having your data stored on a 7200, 10,000 RPM disk drive (or better an SSD drive) to speed things up that is physically separate from the drive with the boot partition. But you could certainly meet or upgrade the specs to outfit a server machine with Xeon class chips and drives for multiple users. - R.
