lta_convert issue with ants Registration Matrix
by Yazdan Rezaee Jouryabi 18 Oct '23

18 Oct '23

External Email - Use Caution Dear all, Hi for checking registration i used fsl applyxfm on an Image(1)(Called Image.nii ) with specific Registration Matrice (Which we suppose to receive when we apply registration Methods) and Generate the "fsl_resampled.nii.gz" (Note: Image Orientations were LAS and in one other Experiment with also the same problem PSR) for our case i will attach the "fsl.mat" (Desired Matrix) using, fsl, freesurfer, and ants i got the correct results (let's call them "fslregistered.mat" and "freesurfer.mat" the converted lta to fsl-liked Matrix) Everything is OK till now But the converted lta-like and fsl-like matrix for ANTs (Which are called ants.lta, and ants.mat) using the lines below: - ConvertTransformFile 3 ./ANTS/ants_0GenericAffine.mat ./ANTS/ants.txt - lta_convert --initk ./ANTS/ants.txt --outlta ./ANTS/ants.lta --src ./Image.nii --trg ./fsl_resampled.nii.gz --ltavox2vox - lta_convert --inlta ./ANTS/ants.lta --outfsl ./ANTS/ants.mat --src ./Image.nii --trg ./fsl_resampled.nii.gz As All Results Images (Registered Image of all Methods) are aligned perfectly i think that there might be some issues with lta_convert Best Regards Yazdan Rezaee J *P.S. *" I've checked the one similar mail on this topic and the conclusion on that was about (sform, qform) incompatibility but the affine matrices of S-form and q-form are equivalent in my case."

External Email - Use Caution From what I can see, the freesurfer release 7 installers do not modify the shell init file, e.g., bashrc, and neither did the VM provided in the past with freesurfer 7.2.0 pre-installed have an entry with FS_DISABLE_LANG set in the bashrc file. - R.

NIH : Training in Advanced Statistical Methods in Neuroimaging and Genetics, April 15-26, 2024, Salt Lake City
by ROBERT CARY WELSH 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

External Email - Use Caution Hi everybody, We are pleased to announce that the application portal is still open for the NIH funded 2024 session of the course, “Training in Advanced Statistical Methods in Neuroimaging and Genetics”. We hope you pass this email and the associate flyer on to your local neuroimaging community. The course will start on Monday, April 15, 2024 and finish on April 26, 2024. We are happy to announce that the course is to be held in person, in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States at the University Guest House Conference Center. Our course also includes an ongoing continuing education portion. The course is an intensive 2-weeks, about 8 hours per day of a mix of lectures and hands-on computer labs. neurostatsbootcamp.org<http://secure-web.cisco.com/1lY-GvKYuvPetRR2S18eLjaUgPJfCtRozXBiQs2RBMuhfjF…> The course cost is $3000 (see scholarship information below), which includes hotel accommodations at the Guest House (arrival on April 14 with departure on April 26), breakfast, lunch, day time snacks, three dinners out as a group, and the planned evening activities. All course attendees will arrange for their own transportation to Salt Lake City. The course cost does include a daily pass to the Salt Lake City Trax light rail/commuter system. (Please note that the course instructors' effort is supported by the NIH grant thus avoiding that cost being passed on to the course attendees. This course is strictly not-for-profit.) Because of the limited size and advanced nature of the course, attendance is by application only – please make sure to fully read the website instructions. In general, applicants must be a US citizen, permanent resident, or with an appointment at a US institution, though we do have the ability to accommodate 3 to 6 individuals that do not meet this criteria. We anticipate the total class size to be between 22 and 25 students. There are opportunities for scholarships which can partially offset hotel accommodations. These are based on true financial need and you will be instructed how to apply if you are admitted to the course. We look forward to seeing you in SLC in 2024! The application deadline is Nov 1, 2023. Decisions around Dec 5th.

External Email - Use Caution Freesurfer 7.4.1 on Ubuntu 20 uses its own versions of Qt libraries and not the system versions.   So if your setup is looking for or finding system versions of those libraries, then freesurfer may be installed incorrectly and/or could be finding the wrong Qt libraries via use of environment variables like LD_LIBRRY_PATH or Qt*.  (I would try not to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and Qt environment variables in your shell environment before source’ing the freesurfer setup script). I suggest you remove whatever freesurfer distribution you have on the machine and do a clean re-install of 7.4.1 using the .deb package installer which you can download via the link, https://secure-web.cisco.com/1__PHy5riz1krqgipNavAJIc6annOjWAPD9… If freesurfer was previously installed with the linux package tools then it should work to uninstall it with,$ sudo apt remove freesurfer… answer y to all prompts ... If you unarchived the *.tag.gz file somewhere then “rm -rf” should work on the root freesurfer directory. With the previous freesurfer installation removed, cd to where you downloaded the freesurfer_ubuntu20-7.4.1_amd64.deb and try, $ sudo apt-get -y install ./freesurfer_ubuntu20-7-dev_amd64.deb… wait for install to finish … $ cd$ export FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer/7.4.1$ source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh-------- freesurfer-linux-ubuntu20_x86_64-7.4.1-20230614-7eb8460 ————Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL) FREESURFER_HOME   /usr/local/freesurfer/7.4.1FSFAST_HOME       /usr/local/freesurfer/7.4.1/fsfastFSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii.gz SUBJECTS_DIR      /usr/local/freesurfer/7.4.1/subjectsMNI_DIR           /usr/local/freesurfer/7.4.1/mni $ which freeview /usr/local/freesurfer/7.4.1/bin/freeview$ freeview… freeview should open an empty window … … quit freeview and try opening this example volume … $ freeview $SUBJECTS_DIR/bert/mri/brain.mgz  If you see the attached image, then freeview/Qt is essentially working. - R.

mri_glmfit-sim - Clusterwise correction for multiple comparisons.
by Guthrie, Andrew J. 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

External Email - Use Caution Hi all, I took the freesurfer course in the recent past, and I am now beginning to run some glm thickness analyses! Currently I am doing a thickness analysis looking at the difference between two groups while controlling for age, and two continuous measures of depression and anxiety. The general commands I run are as follows: mris_preproc --fsgd [fsgd filename] --cache-in thickness.fwhm10.fsaverage --target fsaverage --hemi lh --o lh.[filename].thickness.10.mgh mris_preproc --fsgd [fsgd filename] --cache-in thickness.fwhm10.fsaverage --target fsaverage --hemi rh --o rh.[filename].thickness.10.mgh mri_glmfit --y lh.[filename].thickness.10.mgh --fsgd [fsgd filename] doss --C contrast.mtx --surf fsaverage lh --glmdir lh_[filename]_fwhm10.glmdir mri_glmfit --y rh.[filename].thickness.10.mgh --fsgd [fsgd filename] doss --C contrast.mtx --surf fsaverage rh --glmdir rh_[filename]_fwhm10.glmdir mri_glmfit-sim --glmdir lh_[filename]_fwhm10.glmdir --cwpvalthresh .05 --cache 2.0 abs --2spaces mri_glmfit-sim --glmdir rh_[filename]_fwhm10.glmdir --cwpvalthresh .05 --cache 2.0 abs --2spaces I noticed that in some analyses there would be no significant clusters when the threshold is set at 2.0 (p<0.01) but if you were to run the same analyses with a threshold at 2.3 (p<0.005) there would be a significant cluster, in the lingual for example. If I go one step further and set the threshold to 3.0 there is also a significant cluster - however the cluster is now in the isthmuscingulate. Am I doing something incorrectly or is this possible? And if so, could you help me understand what is going on here. Best, Andrew

Use of *inflated resulst from recon-all
by Lesage, Anne-Cecile 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer teams I am working on sEEG data to help localize the epileptogenic zone at UTMB. We were wondering with Dr Karas if we could use the *.inflated surface to view better the electrodes in contact with the cortex. Do the *inflated surfaces have the same number of vertices and faces than the *pial ones? Does the *inflated surface respect the same geodesic distance between vertices than the *pial ones? Thank you Best Regards Anne-Cecile Lesage, PhD Research Scientist Department of neurosurgery University of Texas Medical Branch anlesage(a)utmb.edu
