Upgrading to OS X EL Capitan
by Elissa Ash 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Dear Freesurfer experts, I have been working with freesurfer V5.3 on the Mac OS 10.8.5. My institution is requesting that I upgrade the OS on my computer to OS X El Capitan (10.11). Will this change my ability to look at or process freesurfer data? Will the recons that I have done be compatible? If I do more recons then can I still compare the data to those done on OS X 10.8.5? Is it recommended that I upgrade to OS or should I not do it? Thank you kindly for your help, Elissa -- Elissa Ash, MD, PhD Director, Center for Memory and Attention Disorders Department of Neurology Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center 6 Weizmann St. Tel Aviv 64239, Israel 972-3-6973698 fax: 972-3-695-0365

Hi Dusan, setenv is used when you are using tcsh. since you are using bash, you can run this command to set your language: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Hope this helps.

Volumes of individual subject based on 001.mgz or nu.mgz?
by Kaiming Yin 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Dear guys, Could I ask in the process of each individual data, are the volumes in the aseg.stat file or other files in the stats/ folder based on the 001.mgz data or the nu.mgz data, or others? It seems there is a bit transformation from the 001.mgz to the nu.mgz, is this true? And will this transformation affect the volumes then? Thanks, Kaiming

mri_binarize
by Alshikho, Mohamad J. 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Hi Doug, I would like to inquire about the command " mri_binarize". In the past, this command was able to create a binarized nifti mask from aseg.mgz, wmparc.mgz .... etc without the need to convert the output "mgz" files to nifti. In other words If I want to create a mask for the precentral gyrus I was using the following: mri_binarize --i aseg.mgz --o precentral.nii --match 1024 The command was able to create the mask and convert it to nifti file at once, but right now if the output is nifti file, it returns empty so I need to make the output "mgz" then convert it to nifti!! Is this real or I am missing something? Thanks for any advice! By the way I see this issue came up recently and in both freesurfer V 5.3 and V6 Best, Mohamad

Re: [Freesurfer] Extremely small numbers of extracted pial surface area
by Karl Liu 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Thank you for your comment, Bruce. Regardless of technical issues, I am still troubled by the small magnitude of extracted value of pial surface area. Following group comparison and correction in QDEC, there is a significant cluster (size: 760 mm^2). In order to make a bar group of group means, I use numbers from the "cache.th20.neg.y.ocn.dat" file, but the average is less than 1. Did I use the right file to plot group mean of pial surface area, but why the magnitude is so small ? Thank you for your help! Karl

TRACULA messy tracts
by denizzgursel 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Dear Anastasia and Tracula users, I succesfully ran the longitudinal Tracula procedure for one subject. However, when I visualized the tracts, they look a bit weird (not smooth). Even if I played with the threshold on freeview, I couldn't make them look nice as in the wiki page. I checked the registration and it looks accurate, so I am not sure what could be wrong. I am attaching the messy looking tracts for your reference. Could you tell me if I should run again with reinit=1 for these tracts? Thank you very much for your time. Best regards, -- D.

Extremely small numbers of extracted pial surace area
by Karl Liu 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Dear FS team: I want to ask for some advice on how to extract the values of pial surface area. I use QDEC to perform a surface-based F-test. The measurement is area.pial and the smoothing is 10 in QDEC. After correction, there is one significant cluster with size of ~760 mm^2. The problem comes when I want to extract the measure from each participant, so that I can plot the group means. Currently I used the values from the "cache.th20.neg.y.ocn.dat" file, but all the group means varies between 0.7-1.0 in magnitude. I believe the unit is mm^2, because this is pial surface area. But is 0.7-1.0 mm^2 too small? What is the correct way to extract surface area from this signficant cluster, so I can plot the pattern of group differences in a bar graph? Another question is the validity of surface-based analysis on pial or WM surface area. I found most FS publications focus on the thickness, but not the surface area. From your perspective, is the surface area as valid as the thickness measure? Many thanks in advance Karl

Re: [Freesurfer] -autorecon2-cp
by Jaiashre Sridhar 14 Mar '16

Bruce, Thanks! Apart from the control points on the lesions, I have control points that were placed on consequent slices on the coronal view but they look stacked upon one another from a different view. But these control points are placed on voxels that are definitely white matter. Does placing controls points really close to each other change the intensity of the nearby region or whole brain in general? Thanks, Jaiashre.
