Which autorecon uses -hippocampal-subfields flags?
by Billah, Tashrif 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

Hi all, Which of the three autorecons makes use of https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/HippocampalSubfields flags? autorecon1, 2 , or 3? My goal is to use the flag specifically with one of the three and not with recon-all in general as shown in the above page. I do understand that the new version of the commands are https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/HippocampalSubfieldsAndNucleiOfAm… Best, Tashrif

Re: [Freesurfer] PET Surfer / New questions

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer experts, Many thanks for your prompt reply and all the helpful information. Below are few remaining questions I have (in red), based on your responses. Many thanks again, Pilar Dear Freesurfer experts, We are conducting a PETSurfer analysis, and have some questions on the best way to proceed. Briefly, this is what we have done: After running the standard Freesurfer analysis an all the T1 images, we have generated the segmentation for the GTM. Afterwards, we have registered the PET images with the anatomicals, obtaining the template.reg.lta. To check the preliminary results without any PVC, we have used the template.reg.lta to sample the PET volume onto the surface, with the following command: mri_vol2surf --mov subject_PET.nii \ --reg subject_template.reg.lta \ --projfrac 0.5 --interp nearest \ --hemi lh --o lh.sig.mgh We therefore obtained the lh.sig.mgh First question. Is this procedure correct? Yes (though you should always check the reg.lta with tkregisterfv). Also, why are you calling the output lh.sig.mgh? My question is about "sig"; it is not wrong to call it this, but "sig" is usually reserved for significance files and I wanted to make sure you were not confused by it. Yep yep, sorry I’ve forgotten to specify we also checked the reg.lta for each subject with tkregisterfv. As regards the name of the output you are totally right, we just called it in this way cause we found an example of the mri_vol2surf command application which used this name for the output, but yeah, without any significance it would be more appropriate to call the output in a different way to avoid any confusion. Second question. Is the format of the of the output (.mgh) correct? Any format (mgh, mgz, nifti) is ok. Perfect, thanks, but it is unclear to me which would be the best way to visualize this output (and this aspect might influence the type of format we would choose). Do you have any suggestions? In the wiki it is reported that: “If you are not using PVC, you can use the template.reg.lta to sample the PET volume onto the surface using mri_vol2surf, then apply standard surface-based analysis”. Third question. At this point should we directly run the mri_glmfit with the previously obtained lh.sig.mgh? This is probably not right. You will need to run the mri_vol2surf command above for each subject to generate an output (and using --trgsubject fsaverage to put them into the same space), then concatenate all into one file (mri_concat lh.subj1.mgh lh.subj2.mgh ... --o lh.all.mgh), then possibly smooth (mris_fwhm), then feed that output as input to mri_glmfit. Sounds good, I’ll proceed in this way. Only one remaining question. Is it really ok to smooth even if it creates PV effects? Many thanks as always for the precious help, Pilar Like in this way: mri_glmfit \ --y lh.sig.mgh \ --fsgd fsgd file dods\ --C cor.mtx file \ --surf fsaverage lh \ --cortex \ --glmdir glmdir Many thanks for any information you’ll be able to provide, Best, Pilar Maria Ferraro Il giorno 15 apr 2020, alle ore 5:18 PM, freesurfer-request(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:freesurfer-request@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> ha scritto: Send Freesurfer mailing list submissions to freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to freesurfer-request(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu You can reach the person managing the list at freesurfer-owner(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Freesurfer digest..."

If so, there will be a slight decrease from the standard resolution because the underlying rendering library that we use unfortunately does not support retina capabilities at this time. Also, are you loading single or multiple volumes? Freeview uses the first volume loaded as the base image geometry, and all the following volumes are resampled (if necessary) into this base geometry using nearest neighbor interpolation. So if you?re working with different-resolution images, it might help to enable linear interpolation as the default resampling method by using the `--trilinear` freeview flag. If that?s not the case, it?d be helpful to see a couple screenshots of the issue.

Inaugural message to the list; I will attempt to be brief with the project description. The setup is consistent between both versions 6.0.0 and 7.0.0-beta, run on a high performance cluster, accessed through macOS terminal + Xquartz, most recent versions all. As it stands, our group is attempting to do subfield analysis of hippocampal analysis and lesion measurement in MS subjects. We have noticed that there is a major discrepancy of resolutions between files, which has irked some of our physicians undertaking the lesion measurement. We need to resolve the lesions down to 3mm and have noticed the quality between freeview and fsleyes of the same nifti files will yield much lower display resolution. This is true for most scans, though it has been compared using 1mm T2 FLAIR sequences as well as T2* sequences with 0.65mm voxel space. I have been attempting to find a workaround as the current solution for the physicians is to look at the files in fsleyes and then measure them with the ruler tool in freeview. I can send supporting pictures as necessary. Thank you in advance for any thoughts you may have!

Also, are you loading single or multiple volumes? Freeview uses the first volume loaded as the base image geometry, and all the following volumes are resampled (if necessary) into this base geometry using nearest neighbor interpolation. So if you?re working with different-resolution images, it might help to enable linear interpolation as the default resampling method by using the `--trilinear` freeview flag. If that?s not the case, it?d be helpful to see a couple screenshots of the issue.

Inaugural message to the list; I will attempt to be brief with the project description.

Anyway, I've added the -cw256 option to the command line. $ recon-all -i ../5e977c0dfe00f4e4b4976207/5a052586eec2b300611abffc/t1.nii.gz -subject output -all -parallel -openmp 8 -hippocampal-subfields-T1 -hires -cw256 However, I am still seeing the same error message saying that I should add the flag -cw256. Am I setting this option incorrectly? I am using freesurfer version 6.0.0. Thank you! Soichi Hayashi [image: Screenshot from 2020-04-17 12-28-01.png]

Re: [Freesurfer] Does FS guarantee the same results if run several times?

External Email - Use Caution Thank you Douglas and Tashrif! Does this mean I should run recon-all for each subject several times, and compute the average to get the more reliable thickness? Can anyone else confirm this? Thanks! Xiaojiang <https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu&q=from :%22Billah%2C+Tashrif%22> Billah, Tashrif <https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu&q=date :20200417> Fri, 17 Apr 2020 08:34:14 -0700 Hi Xiaojiang and Douglas, I think it is the attribute of having random initialization in the registration steps. This slight discrepancy can also be observed with antsRegistration. I don't know the exact algorithm FreeSurfer uses for registration though. Best, Tashrif

External Email - Use Caution No. I just checked, they are not identical. Although some of numbers are the same, many are different. Xiaojiang Are the other results identical? Eg, lh.aparc.stats?

I have tried several subjects; some of them get the all-the-same results, some of them not. I am sure the subjects and the corresponding images are the same. Are these expected results? Thanks!

concatenate transformations
by Sam W 17 Apr '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello! I performed two registrations: diffusion-to-orig.dat and orig-to-rawavg.dat. Now I would like to concatenate the two transformation matrices into a diffusion-to-rawavg.dat. Is there a command in freesurfer that allows me to do that? Best regards, Sam

BIDS v1.3.0 release and next focus
by Franklin Feingold 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

External Email - Use Caution The Brain Imaging Data Structure<https://bids.neuroimaging.io/> (BIDS) community is pleased to announce version 1.3.0 of the BIDS standard! This release includes the addition of genetic descriptors<https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/en/v1.3.0/04-modality-specific-fi…> for linking BIDS datasets to genetic datasets. We would like to thank contributors to the Genetic Information BIDS Extension Proposal, led by Cyril Pernet, Clara Moreau with contributions from Tom Nichols and Jessica Turner. We’d also like to thank Arshitha Basavaraj and Tom Nichols for rendering the specification as a PDF<https://zenodo.org/record/3720628#.XpYUPNNKjFQ>. Our next priority will be finalizing the specification of BIDS-Derivatives<https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/pull/265>. Please feel free to review the draft<https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/en/common-derivatives/05-derivati…> and comment. The specification of spatial references, in particular composite surface/volume spaces, remains an open question<https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/pull/301> with room for expert review.
