mri_mcsim for individual subjects and references {Disarmed}
by Kevin Aquino 18 May '17

18 May '17

Hi all, First of all, Freesurfer V6 is working like a dream, my 0.7 mm segmentations are running really well and in comparisons to hi-resrecon in 5.3 and early beta, I'm having to do fewer manual corrections! Now for my questions, 1. I'm running mri_mcsim in order to correct for multiple comparisons via the FS-FAST stream. I'm wondering how many iterations are advised, and how can one check for convergence in an automatic fashion. I've run the simulations with 1000 and 10,000 iterations on a 1mm segmentation with the FWHM simulations at 8mm. (i.e. using mri_mcsim --o . --base mc-z --save-iter --surf subject lh/rh --nreps 10000 --fwhm 8) and I can't see many differences between the two when correcting for multiple comparisons (i.e. using cluster-sess -analysis myanalysis -thresh 3 -cwp .05 -s SESSION -sign pos). 2. I'm trying to find some references that detail the simulations and form the corrections, does anyone have advice which list I can read/start off with, as well as some key papers that use it (esp on a single subject level). I really like this approach and It does look to circumvent (I think...) a lot of the problems of cluster-wise corrections described with Eklund et al. (Cluster failure paper).

manuel edits
by Caroline Beelen 18 May '17

18 May '17

Dear FS team, I have two questions regarding manuel editing. We were looking at inter-rater reliability, but noticed it was not too high... However, during editing we used different criteria. Therefore I would like to ask: 1. Does the order of pial correction, topological deficit, wm corrections and control points editing matters? You seem to assume on your website for instance that pial corrections would come before wm corrections/control points, but is this necessarily the case? 2. When the wm intensity value is below 110, voxel inclusions might be needed. On the website is written: "when you feel like there is wm underneath you can add control points (...)". How to make a decision on this matter: based on sight or on wm intensity values? For instance, often the WM values are either 0 or 80 or above... Would it be good to assume that wm intensity values above 80 are actually wm, regardless of how it visually would look like? Likewise, would it be good to assume that areas where it says the wm intensity value is 0, that these areas are actually not wm, regardless of whether it might look like wm? So, basically, it is correct to make your decision only based on wm intensity values? Thank you for your reply. Kind regards, Caroline Beelen

Mean gray-white contrast for each ROI
by Yaakub, Siti Nurbaya 18 May '17

18 May '17

Hi, I read from a previous post that the "{lh,rh}.w-g.pct.stats files in $SUBJECTS_DIR/subject/stats … will have the mean gray-white contrast for each ROI in the aparc." I've looked at the lh.w-g.pct.stats file and am not sure which values I should be looking at if I am interested in the ratio of grey to white matter averaged over each of the ROIs? What are the area in mm2 and the SNR in this w-g context? Thank you, Siti

Re: [Freesurfer] Question of longitudinal processing

Hi Martin, Do you mean by creating this long.testretest.qdec file, one can then perform the stats for the longitudinal2StageModel? So for a 2 timepoints analysis, eg. TP1 & TP2. the long.testretest.qdec will be looking like this ? fsid fsid-base tp1_subA.long.TemplatesubA tp2_subA.long.TemplatesubA tp1_subB.long.TemplatesubB tp2_subB.long.TemplatesubB tp1_subC.long.TemplatesubC tp2_subC.long.TemplatesubC . . .

longitudinal analysis or cross-sectional anslysis of the subfield of hippocampus
by Jinsong Tang 17 May '17

17 May '17

Dear all, I have 2 groups (patients and controls), and I want to analysis the subfields of the hippocampus. Some of the subjects have 2 scans (before treatment and post treatment) and some subjects only have one scan(before treatment). aim 1: I want to compare the subfied volume of the hippocampus between patients and control using the before treatment data. aim 2: I also want to calculate the treatment effects on the subfield volume of the hippocampus. Do I need to use longitudinal analysis ? or cross-sectional analysis is fine? If use longitudinal analysis, for the aim 1, only part of the subjects have 2 scans. I still need to use the cross-sectional data to calculate the groups' difference in order to include all subjects. What your suggestions? Thank you so much! Best Jinsong

ERROR: must specify input table of b-values
by David Yang 17 May '17

17 May '17

Hello, I am trying to run the trac-all -prep command in TRACULA on a participant. However, every time I run the command trac-prepoc exits with errors and I get the message: 'ERROR:must specify input table of b-values'. I checked over the configuration file and everything seems correct: b-value table is specified and in the correct 1 column format, and there are the same number of b-values, b-vectors and DTI volumes. Does anyone know why I am getting this message? 1) Freesurfer version: freesurfer-Darwin-OSX-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c 2) Platform: OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 3) trac-all -prep -c $VSDEVEL_DATA/VSDevel_outputs/dmric_1089001_06M.txt 4) Attached is the configuration file, b-values, b-vectors Thanks, David
