CORTICAL THICKNESS
by Flavia Arduini 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

Hi everyone, I segmented with Mantis, a toolbox of spm, MRI T2-weighted images of infants . Now I have to compute cortical thickness. How can I do it with Freesurfer? I know there's the recon-all function that segments and does this but is based on T1-weighted images. There is a way to be able to adapt? Thank you and I hope someone can help me. Flavia Arduini

Re: [Freesurfer] Mindboggle official software release and publication!

Dear experts, I was wondering what is your opinion on the fact, that, according to the mindboggle paper http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.10053… it is beneficial to use ANTS volume-based gray matter segmentation to refine gray matter segmentation in FreeSurfer. I am not expert in ANTS but looking at the ANTS code it seems to me that the ANTS routine does not do anything more than the volume-based nonlinear registration to the template and intensity and probabilistic atlas-based voxel labeling. Therefore, the method is in principle identical to GCA volume-based labeling (mri_ca_register and mri_ca_label, part of recon-all) in FreeSurfer which also produces cortical gray matter mask, far not so precise as the segmentation based on pial and white surface estimation. I think that FreeSurfer pipeline for estimation of white and pial surfaces is much more sophisticated and precise than any method using volume-based registration and volume-based labeling by intensity and anatomical priors. The FreeSurfer gray matter underestimation showed in figure 2 of the paper http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.10053… seems to me like either partial-volume effect or skull-strip error (which cuts out part of gray matter) which can be corrected by proper inspection and manual correction of brainmask.mgz. In contrast, the errors in presented ANTS gray matter segmentation in figure 2 are much more severe, spanning not only the blue encircled region. I would very appreciate your expert opinion on this.

Disastrous Soft Error
by Rockers, Elijah D. 25 Feb '17

25 Feb '17

Hello all, I recon-all'd ~40 different subjects. I have been going through all the images to make sure they were processed correctly. Most required no no editing and recon-all did a very good job. But for one scan in particular, it looks like Freesurfer thinks the top of the spinal cord is the brain. Several vertebrae are very nicely segmented... :P Just wondering if you have any suggestions for reprocessing this subject? The error is reproducible with default recon-all settings. Subject has some pathology in the white matter which might be causing the problem? Screenshot of T1.mgz + lh.pial at the following link: http://imgur.com/a/uwyaq Thanks, Eli Houston Methodist.

Dear Vasudev, on what filesystem does your working directory reside? According to the path to your data it seems that you use some external drive, probably with non-unix-like filesystem. The error most probably means, that your filesystem does not support symbolic links.

mri_segstats
by John Anderson 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Dear Freesurfer experts, I have used the following commandline to generate the final statistics in my analysis: mri_segstats --seg aseg.mgz --ctab-default --i suvr.nii --mask mask.nii --sum stats.dat The final output of this command is (attached). Depedning on the anatomical location of the mask, I expect that I will get two structures in the stats file. What is the "unknown" label means? is it CSF? Do I need to include it in my next statistcal analses? I highly appreciate your input! Best, John Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.
