longitudinal stuff
by Sky Raptentsetsang 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hi Bruce, From the processing that's been performed we're fairly certain that the issue is only with the -long script. So I just wanted to verify with you if I processed our many baseline subjects with version4 (cross-sectionally), while the -long script is being bug-fixed, I could simply start the subjects longitudinal scans once your fix is in place. So from your investigations thus far, could you tell us if the FSv4 cross-sectional processing will be altered due to any fix that might be put into place in the near future? Many thanks as always! Cheers, Sky

Hello: I am a new to FreeSurfer, and i run the following command : recon-all -autorecon1 -s temp , and it exit with some errors: Mon Aug 11 15:49:56 CST 2008 talairach_avi done cp transforms/talairach.auto.xfm transforms/talairach.xfm #-------------------------------------------- #@# Talairach Failure Detection Mon Aug 11 15:49:57 CST 2008 /home/liri/liri/freesurfer/subjects/temp/mri talairach_afd -T 0.005 -xfm transforms/talairach.xfm ERROR: talairach_afd: Talairach Transform: transforms/talairach.xfm ***FAILED*** (p=0.0000, pval=0.0000 < threshold=0.0050) Linux liri-desktop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux recon-all exited with ERRORS at Mon Aug 11 15:49:57 CST 2008 I have seen that it might be caused by the direction cosines in the input file were all wrong (coronal, saggital, horizontal wrong). so I checked the nu.mgz, and it displays different from the bert subject, if this is the reason , how can i correct it. thanks tim

recon error
by Ilana Hairston 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Hi there, I am new to free surfer, and am trying to analyse brains of kids ages 8-11. running recon1 i get the following error message: ERROR: talairach_afd: Talairach Transform: transforms/talairach.xfm ***FAILED*** (p=0.0000, pval=0.0000 < threshold=0.0050) Looking at past mailings seems you recommended checking the registry. However, during recon no file called ???.dat was created as far as i can tell, and without specifying --reg i get the error: ___$ tkregister2 --s C2647 --mov C2647_070809cv.img INFO: no target volume specified, assuming FreeSurfer orig volume. ERROR: no registration file specified thanks, ilana -- You must believe in free will; there is no choice.

Watershed Error
by Vina Goghari 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

Hi all, I get this error for one subject: mri_watershed Error: GLOBAL region of the brain empty ! I check the talairach transformation and it looked good. I also tried just scripting the orig.mgz and I get a wonderful strip. How can I move forward with the recon-all process? Thanks, Vina

longitudinal stuff

Hi All, we have just been alerted to a bug in the longitudinal processing stream that will require re-analysis of any longitudinal data. Sorry, we'll have a fix sometime in the next couple of weeks, but for the moment you should hold off analyzing any longitudinal data. We'll keep you posted. Bruce

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to make permissions read out as group executable, basically I would like to make it so my data files can be worked with by others in my group. Thanks for your help, Jake

Fwd: [Freesurfer] editing masks
by Daniel H Choi 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel H Choi <dhchoi(a)u.northwestern.edu> Date: Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 11:10 AM Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] editing masks To: Bruce Fischl <fischl(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Hi all, I was wondering how to edit the voxels of a mask (the name of which is "lh.stg.mask.mgz") so that each voxel would be a value of 1 (if I try adding voxels in tkmedit, their values are 255). Additionally, we use this mask to isolate STG. But instead of a simple binary mask, this mask keeps the white matter values within STG intact (and anything outside is 0). Would adding voxels to the mask in tkmedit change this function? Thanks Dan On Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 7:40 PM, Bruce Fischl <fischl(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>wrote: > I see.

RE: extending the pial surface and scuba
by 류철형 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Dear freesurfer I’m one of the neurologists in South Korea and having an interest in the functional neuroimaging studies in neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, I’m planning to study the cortical thickness of various degenerative disorders and trying to learn the freesurfer (version 4.0.5), which is running on the brand new MacBook Pro (leopard) with core2duo intel CPU of 2.5GHz speed and 4MB internal RAM. Now, I am facing with some troubles. First, how can I edit or correct the underestimated pial surface. The MR signals (GE 3.0T, T1 axial SPGR sequence, 1mm slice thickness) acquired in the vertex gray matter and lower part of cerebellum were rather attenuated than the center of brain. Therefore, the freesurfer would classify upper part of the vertex gray matter into the extra-cerebral tissue. In other words, the thickness of the vertex was underestimated. How can I manually expand the boundary of vertex gray matter with tkmedit ? Second, the scuba did not work. When I type the scuba in the terminal, the ‘bus error’ come out and it do not work at all. Alternatively, I tried the scuba1 and it worked with some errors (stopping of scuba program and I have to force quit the X11 application). How can I correct the bus errors and use more advanced viewing and editing software in the freesurfer ? Thank you for reading my questions and I’m waiting for your kind answer.
