FS QA Tools: Output, html and .gif Files
by Jessica Bernard 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Hi All, I've been running the Freesurfer QA Tools on some new data, and have been having some difficulties with the outputs. I am running this using the -snaps-detailed flag. In the past, we have had .html links, but also detailed .gif files for each person. We've consistently had trouble with the .html links, but the .gif files have been perfectly fine. However, when running new individuals, not only are the images broken in the .html output, but there are no gif files (which are preferred). Is there an additional command that needs to be added to generate the detailed gif files as well? Sorry if this is a rather basic question. I recently took over the Freesurfer QA process, and am relatively new to the functions, and my predecessor does not know how they created the gif files (the first batch of QA was run 6 months ago with our first wave of data collection). Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide. Best Wishes, Jessica

mri_segstats question
by pfotiad＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Hi FS community, I had some questions regarding the mri_segstats command: 1) In the excludeid flag, are the ids the ones shown in the FreeSurferColorLUT.txt? 2) In case I would like to measure the mean intensity of the orig file as outlined in the second example in https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_segstats: mri_segstats --seg $SUBJECTS_DIR/bert/mri/aseg --ctab $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt --nonempty --excludeid 0 --sum bert.aseg.sum --in $SUBJECTS_DIR/bert/mri/orig is the --seg flag necessary in order to calculate only the mean intensity within the skull, or does it serve another purpose? Thanks in advance, Panos

V1 label
by krista kelly 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Hello, I am looking at cortical thickness and surface area using Freesurfer. I have transferred label V1 from freesurfer onto the brains of my participants and when I view them on the inflated brains in tksurfer , I notice that there are holes in the label. Is this an issue when calculating mean cortical thickness and total surface area estimations? Should I fill these in somehow? I've attached a picture to show as an example. Please let me know if the picture cannot be viewed. Thanks! Krista

gPPI Toolbox Version 13.1 for SPM has now been released
by MCLAREN, Donald 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Version 13.1 of the gPPI toolbox (previously released versions were 7.12 and 13) is now available at http://www.nitrc.org/projects/gppi Version 13.1 now supports task-models from FSFAST and can read the model structure directly from your FSFAST analysis. Version 13.1 now support robust weighted least squares (rWLS) - requires your first level model to have been generated with the rWLS toolbox. The major changes are: (1) Integrated spm_spm and spm_spm_WB into the software, no patch is needed. P.wb=1 will use the whole brain approach. (2) Added ability to start with FSFAST first level models. (3) Added ability to do rWLS, if the rWLS was used in the first-level models. (4) Removed dependency of gzip on java. (5) A few other bells and whistles. (6) Added script to pre-extract VOI timeseries (7) Added the ability to use upsampled data or neural signal inputs Best Regards, Donald McLaren ================= D.G.

Applying a precomputed transform matrix to an image in free surfer
by Emad Ahmadi 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Hello, I’m having a volume (e.g. dtifit_FA.nii.gz) and a transform matrix (e.g. diff2anatorig.bbr.mat), and I want to apply the transform matrix to the image and generate a transformed image. This is a general question I’m having, but in this particular case, I want to apply the transform matrix (from diffusion space to the anatomical space generated by TRACULA) to the FA map to generate a transformed FA map that can be overlaid on the anatomical images. I wonder if I have to use mri_vol2vol command for doing this, and I don’t know how to provide it with appropriate flags. I’m already having the transform matrix generated by TRACULA (and I don’t want to change it; I just want to apply it to the image!). My crude guess would be something like this: mri_vol2vol --mov <address of dtifit_FA.nii.gz> --o <address of transformed_dtifit_FA.nii.gz> --reg diff2anatorig.bbr.mat Please let me know how I should run this command. Thank you very much, Emad P.S. I know that for this particular example, I can use the anatomical images in dlabel/diff, but the point for me is to learn how to apply a transform matrix to an image and generate a transformed image in freesurfer Emad Ahmadi, MD ----------------------------------------------- Postdoc Research Fellow Department of Radiology Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Medical School 25 New Chardon Street, Suite 400 Boston, MA 02114 Tel: 617 726 5237 Email: emad(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu

Tumor Segmentation in FreeSurfer
by Mohammed Goryawala 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Hello, I am reposting this question since I have not received any feedback with this issue. I am interested in understanding if tumor segmentation can be carried out using FreeSurfer. On examining the stats file we do see a tumor volume reported. I was wondering how this is calculated. Thanks Mohammed

Subfields on 1.5 Tesla
by Alan Francis 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Hi Koen & FreeSurfers: I have received a manuscript to review for possible publication. The authors have used the subfields algorithm on 1.5T scans and obtained a parcellation with values. They have drawn some major conclusions on the basis of the findings. My understanding is that this method can only be done on 3T. Is the 1.5T results valid? Please advice. thanks, Alan Francis

Re: [Freesurfer] Extract vertex-wise cortical thickness, surface area and lgi values in ascii files?
by sabin khadka 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hi all, I ran mri_surf2surf and then mris_convert to get vertexwise thickness and surface area values in ascii files. I found that some vertices had negative values of surface area for few subjects. Should not surface area values be positive only? -Sabin On Thursday, April 17, 2014 10:30 AM, sabin khadka <sabinkhdk(a)yahoo.com> wrote: Ahh. Great. Thanks you very much for the information.
