group-analysis error
by Chacko Cherian 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Hello all, Here's an error that i got while running group analysis on a couple of subjects...i checked the rh.orig file and the rh.sphere.reg and i could open both using tksurfer. Reading /ud/chacko/freesurfer/subjects/AD_norm_cor25all111/AD_norm_group_analysis/subj1/surf/rh.sphere.reg mrisReadTriangleFile(/ud/chacko/freesurfer/subjects/AD_norm_cor25all111/AD_norm_group_analysis/subj1/surf/rh.orig): surface doesn't match /ud/chacko/freesurfer/subjects/AD_norm_cor25all111/AD_norm_group_analysis/subj1/surf/rh.sphere.reg No such file or directory mrisReadTriangleFile failed. No such file or directory MRISreadOriginalProperties: could not read surface file orig No such file or directory mris_make_average_surface: could not read orig file for rh. No such file or directory Thanks in advance Chacko. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

RE: [Freesurfer] re-running recon-all
by Don Hagler 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Hi Catherine, You might find this modified version of recon-all useful (called fs_recon, which is attached). It checks for whether the touch files exist before doing a particular step. This behavior can be overridden with the force flag. I fear that my modified script will become out of date as the guys at mgh continue to make changes to recon-all, but I needed this functionality now.

Basal Ganglia Segmentation
by Paul Greenberg 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hello, I'm having trouble getting an accurate subcortical segmentation (aseg.mgz, and aparc+aseg.mgz) in the Left Hemisphere Nucleus Accumbens area of one subject. Specifically, regions that appear to be the Left Nucleus Accumbens are being labeled as Left Cerebral Cortex. The two images (attached) illustrate the problem. Image 1 shows only pial and white matter surfaces on the "brainmask.mgz" file while image 2 shows the pial and white matter surfaces on "brainmask.mgz" along with the aparc+aseg.mgz segmentation. For this subject I added control points to fix other inaccuracies in other regions, and edited the wm.mgz to cover all regions I considered basal ganglia (the white matter surface still appears to invade regions of the basal ganglia). I reprocessed this data with recon-all -autorecon2-cp -autorecon3, but am still not satisfied with the results. What would you suggest as the best way to more accurately identify the accumbens regions in this case? Thanks much!, Paul

Registration problems when ovelaying maps on brain surface
by qz4＠ee.duke.edu 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hi all, I got some problems when I tried to overlay some maps one brain surface. The following steps is just for test. 1. recon-all -all -notalairach -i MP-rage/001.dcm s test 2. I use matlab to load the save dataset (MP-rage/001.dcm ~ 160.dcm) and then mark the back-head (>1000). The output is test_mark.img (analyze format) 3. thregister2 --targ ./test/mri/orig/001.mgz --mov test_mark.img regheader reg reg.dat So I got reg.dat in this step 4. thsurfer test lh inflated --overlay test_mark.img overlay-reg reg.dat fthresh 1000 The weird thing happened in the final surface image. The mark is not shown in back-head. It is located in the botton of the brain surface. If in the 4, I do the following instead (no registration) thsurfer test lh inflated --overlay test_mark.img --fthresh 1000 The mark is in the right location (back-head), but a little offset. Whats wrong in my procedure? Am I doing right in the registion part? Is it correct to register to /mri/orig/001.mgz? Thanks! Elva

re-running recon-all
by Catherine Hartley 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hi, If recon-all is interrupted after several hours of processing (someone shutdown the machine), if I run recon-all again on the same set of data, will it go through all of the processing steps again, or will it note the progress made and essentially check through until it reaches the prior point of termination? Thanks, Cate

RE: [Freesurfer] interpret analysis results
by Reschke, Cole 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

Thank you, I have three follow up questions: Threshold is -log10(p), why are negative values showing up on the display? I am using fsaverage to display my results, would it make any difference if I created my own average subject based on the analysis? Is it possible to export the voxel-by-voxel intensities (or the brain surface data) used in Freesurfer's analysis; and then re-import the some external analysis results back to Freesurfer format for display purposes?

The sig will map to any surface, including pial. doug Reschke, Cole wrote: First, thanks to Doug for all his help up to this point. Next, I have three questions. In my analysis, I used the -paired-diff and -osgm options in mris_preproc and mri_glmfit, respectively. I have successfully loaded sig.mgh onto the inflated surface. Are the values from the color chart [-5,5] representative of a t-score or an F-score (t^2)? I adjust the threshold by changing the 'Min' value in the 'Configure Overlay Display'? Ex. If Min ==3, then p < 0.001 ? Is the sig.mgh created solely for the inflated surface, or is it able to be uploaded on others (pial, wm, etc.)?

the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
by wan＠vt.edu 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

Hello All, We want to get the information about the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. However, two parcellation maps (?h.aparc.annot and ?h.aparc.a2005s.annot)didn't show this structure directly. Can you please tell me how to draw the ROI for the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in the Final Surface of the brain? and how to get values for thickness and volume for this structure? Thanks, Li

thickness reproducibility-longitudinal?
by Chacko Cherian 23 Jan '07

Hello all, http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ThicknessRepeatibility Is this page on thickness reproducibility intended for longitudinal analysis or is it just a general group analysis procedure?

Freesurfer usage on Ubuntu 6.06
by Binyam Nardos 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Hello All, I just installed Freesurfer, the Red Hat 9 version for Ubuntu 6.06. I followed all the instructions and made the changes as directed to my .bashrc and .bash_profile files to include the two lines as follows: export FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh Upon running the test command recon-all --help, I get the following message: bash: /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/recon-all: /bin/tcsh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory and indeed there is no tcsh dir in the /bin folder. I'm assuming that reference should have been /bin/bash instead of /bin/tcsh.
