Surface doesn't match error
by pfotiad＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 25 Sep '13

Hi FS Community, I have been using control points and adding wm voxels in the wm.mgz volume of a subject, in order to fix the reconstruction, and after doing so for a number of times, when I tried to run the command: tkmedit <subj_ID> brainmask.mgz -aux wm.mgz -surfs the following message popped up: Reading 574 control points... Converting main surface: 100% done. Converting main surface: 100% done. mrisReadTriangleFile(/cluster/ichresearch/Petechial/MEG/1424_02042011_CTh_fixed/surf/lh.pial): surface doesn't match /cluster/ichresearch/Petechial/MEG/1424_02042011_CTh_fixed/surf/lh.white No such file or directory mrisReadTriangleFile failed. No such file or directory Converting main surface: 100% done. Converting main surface: 100% done. Converting pial surface: 100% done. Reading 574 control points... Reading /usr/local/freesurfer/stable5_3_0/tktools/tkm_common.tcl Reading /usr/local/freesurfer/stable5_3_0/tktools/tkm_wrappers.tcl Reading /usr/local/freesurfer/stable5_3_0/lib/tcl/fsgdfPlot.tcl Reading /usr/local/freesurfer/stable5_3_0/tktools/tkUtils.tcl % and after tkmedit loads, the lh.pial is not shown. I ran mris_euler_number on lh.pial and lh.white and they are both equal to 2 as they should. I was wondering whether you happen to know why is this happening and how to fix it. (I am using FS 5.3) Thank you for your time! Best, Panos

Calculating surface values
by Jonathan Holt 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

I'm curious whether or not freesurfer, when calculating surface values, takes the original surface into account? If not, which surfaces are included in this calculation? jon

Brodmann Area Atlas
by Michael Kranz 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi all, Is there a place where I could find an atlas with all of the Brodmann areas? Or is the one available with a portion of the areas the only existing atlas? Thanks, Mike

Thanks Anastasia. I have some problem when I use mri_binarize.FSL list and guide advise me to use label2surf. There are a way to obtain specific labels in .label instead of .nii.gz? Stefano ----Messaggio originale---- Da: ayendiki(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Data: 25-set-2013 17.49 A: <stdp82(a)virgilio.it> Cc: <freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Ogg: Re: [Freesurfer] Import FS data to FSL 1 - Yes. 2 - You can use mri_aparc2aseg to grow the cortical labels into the white matter (say, by 2mm). The file that it will produce will be a volume file, so then you just run mri_binarize to extract specific labels. Make sure you save them in nifti format for FSL.

Post-surgery volumes and hippocampal subfield segmentation
by Germeyan, Sierra (NIH/NINDS) [F] 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi all, A few questions. 1. Is there a way to run scans of post-surgical brains that takes resections into account and gives more accurate results than "recon-all -all"? 2. Is it possible to obtain resection volumes with FreeSurfer? I tried to do this indirectly by finding the difference between total intracranial volume that FreeSurfer gave for scans pre- and post- surgery. However, I rarely obtained reasonable numbers with this method. 3. After running -hippo-subfields, I converted the voxel output of -hippo-subfields to mm^3 based on the instructions given here: https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail/freesurfer/2013-June/031188.html. Then I summed the volumes for all of the subfields (assuming that this would give me the total hippocampal volume), and compared the sum to the hippocampal volume that FreeSurfer gave after running recon-all -all. They weren't the same! Why would these differ? Thanks very much for any advice you can give!

Import FS data to FSL
by stdp82＠virgilio.it 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi list, I have 2 questions, please. 1-The bedpostX that I have run for TRACULA could be used for PROBTRACKX (FSL)? 2-I'd like to export cortical masks from FS to FSL. An option is mri_binarize but this way failed in probtrackx (fsl).FSL list have advised me that I should use label2surf command to convert label to surface files. Where could find the .label (according to FreeSurferColorLUT.txt) to build mask of frontal, parietal, motor, sensor, temporal and occipital lobes? Do you have other ways that you advise me? Thanks, Stefano

Monte Carlo Simulation in Qdec
by Tara Ann Miskovich 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hello, I am conducting group analyses with LGI data in qdec, and I am having an issue with the monte carlo simulation I am hoping to get help with. Under design I leave the Smoothing (FWHM) at 10, and when I try to run the monte carlo simulation after running the analysis I get this error: Error in Monte Carlo simulation: Error running mri_surfcluster. Plus in the terminal I get an error: mri_surfclusterfwhm.dat: 37.226284, rounded to 38 Error: fwhm out-of-range (< 1 or > 30)! Should I be using fwhm0 for LGI data? Thank you for your help! Tara

Effects of age on different parameters (thickness, lGI...)
by Daniel Klein 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Dear FreeSurfer experts, I want to test linear, square and cubic effects of age on different parameters (thickness, lGI....) with qdec. I add age (square) and age (cubic) as column in my qdec table. Am i right to see only the square effects: Add Age square as continous factor and age (maybe age cubic too?) as nuisance factor in the model. Best wishes and thanks a lot. Daniel
