neighborhood of a vertex
by R. Chen 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Hi, I convert a thickness file to ascii format and the file looks like (vertex id, x, y, z, thickness) 000 -36.19709 -19.27060 66.10529 2.61633 001 -16.37191 -69.16402 59.60456 2.18290 002 -10.58665 -10.65137 50.24026 2.06269 003 -22.09574 43.85081 28.52032 1.54455 004 -57.95597 -0.45362 12.97830 2.41985 005 -48.57283 -51.02512 46.88505 2.08371 I want to do some customrized smoothing and need to know the neighborhood of a vertex. I think FreeSurfer also uses this neighborhood information in random field modelling. Could you provide some information about how to get the neighborhood? Thank you, Ron __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

resuming autorecon2
by dasoscia＠buffalo.edu 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

I'm running autorecon2 and i forgot to turn off the setting on my computer that automatically stalls any processes that are going at the time and asks for a log-in password when the computer sits idle for a while. I logged back in and it appears autorecon2 has stalled because of this. The command line is still there with all of the information from what has already been done in autorecon2...is there a way to resume what it was doing from this exact point and not have to start it over? thanks dave

inflated surface not seen
by Joongnam Yang 13 Jun '06

Hi all, I've run recon-all -autorecon1 and -autorecon2, successfully. But when I opened inflated surface using tksurfer, only a tiny bit of image of the inflated surface was seen. Something was wrong in the process. Both wm, filled, brain volumes looked OK. Here is the data on the web; http://www.momoenglish.com/TEMP/TEMP.tar.gz would someone please take a look? Nam.

error message
by Sarah J Greene 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

I was running the subcortical labelling script (aseg_rerun.csh) using the old version of freesurfer, and have received this error message: mri_read(): couldn't determine type of file mri_ca_register: could not open input volume -T I am not sure how to fix this error. I would appreciate any input!!

Resuming recon-all
by Martin Ystad 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Hi, some of my subjects crash due to memory-failure way into the recon-all stream. Is there any way I can resume the processing stream from where it crashed without having to write all the individual commands for the rest of the stream? For example, if my subject crashed during autorecon2 -calabel, would there be a command that re-runs -calabel and the rest of the autorecon2 stream? Thanks, Martin Ystad University of Bergen, Norway.

smoothing
by Lars M. Rimol 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Hi, In the --help output of mri_surf2surf, the following explanation is given for --fwhm-src fwhmsrc: Smooth the source or target with a gaussian with the given fwhm (mm). This is actually an approximation done using iterative nearest neighbor smoothing. The number of iterations is computed based on the white surface. This method is similar to heat kernel smoothing. This will give the same results as --nsmooth-{in,out}, but automatically computes the the number of iterations based on the desired fwhm. What is the equation used to compute the number of iterations, and is it valid for an average surface? -- yours, LMR

I'm confused about how to use my license key. It was sent to me, but there isn't a file names .license in my freesurfer home folder. And there isn't a license key FILE, only the three lines of text sent to me. What should I type in the command line to validate the license?

mri_convert problem

I am trying to convert Dicom files to mgz format and I keep getting the same error even when I try some variations on what I am typing in the terminal. I have already set my subjects directory to /home/amc/freesurferstable/subjects, which is where my first data set is located, /1593-4. First I change the directory to /subjects, then I type the following with the error: [amc@amcpacs subjects]$ recon-all -i 1593-4/Image0001.dcm -s 1593-4 ######################################## program versions used $Id: recon-all-nmr,v 1.37 2004/01/06 22:21:48 tosa Exp $ $Id: mri_motion_correct2,v 1.7 2004/01/16 20:25:10 tosa Exp $ mri_convert --version $ $Header: /software/source/minc/progs/rawtominc/rawtominc.c,v 6.13.2.2 2005/03/16 19:02:52 bert Exp $ minctracc.c $Header: /software/source/registration/mni_autoreg/minctracc/Main/minctracc.c,v 96.11 2004/02/12 05:54:22 rotor Exp $ $Header: /software/source/minc/progs/mincresample/mincresample.c,v 6.12.2.1 2005/03/16 19:02:51 bert Exp $ $Header: /software/source/minc/progs/mincaverage/mincaverage.c,v 6.4.2.2 2005/03/16 19:02:49 bert Exp $ $Id: talairach2,v 1.5 2003/08/28 21:45:48 tosa Exp $ mri_convert --version $ # $Id: mritotal.in,v 1.12 2004/02/12 05:55:18 rotor Exp $ # $Id: nu_estimate.in,v 1.1 2003/04/16 14:29:34 bert Exp $ WM removal version $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ####################################### ERROR: Flag -i unrecognized. -i 1593-4/Image0001.dcm -s 1593-4 I dont know why it doesnt recognize the -i flag...but this is repeatedly the wall I am running into.

If you have root at the linux machine try to install freenx. Combined with nomachine's (www.nomachine.it) client software freesurfer remote controlling works down to adsl speeds, where X11 over ssh long lost its usability.

center of pial surface in world coordinates
by martijn van den heuvel 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Dear Bruce, Thanks for your quick reply. I posted this question on the Neurolens-forum as well. I too think it is just a problem of two different coordinate system. Rick (of the Neurolens forum) mentioned that the pial surface coordinate to world coordinate system is stated in a COR.info file. However, I think that the COR.info file is no longer supported by freesurfer, is this correct? Is there an alternative? Sorry, if my question was not totally clear. I will describe what I did: I translated my anatomy file to talairach space (only translation, no scaling, resliced it so there is not .mat file ) and used it (in SPM analyse format) as input for the freesurfer-train (recon-all -autorecon1,2,3). The recon-all dev table suggests that freesurfer uses brain.finalsurfs.mgz (same orientation as T1.mgz) as the input for creating the surface pial files. In my original anatomy file the (0,0,0) coordinate is around the center of the brain (in talairach space). As my input anatomy is already in Talairach space orig.mgz is also in talairach space and there is a minimum translation by freesurfer to create T1.mgz (I checked this and indead talairach.xfm is almost a 1 1 1 matrix). If freesurfer uses this as the input for the surface rendering, should not be the (0,0,0) coordinate in the middle of the pial surface? Using tksurfer this is indead the case, however using Neurolens this is not the case, there is a large shift. There is a small shift from talairach coordinate system to RAS system, but my surface rendering has a much larger shift (in my example around 45 mm in the Z-direction). Maybe this COR.info file is the solution, holding the translation from scanner coordinates <-> RAS, however I don't have an example of this file and therefore do not now what this file looks like and what it does. Hope you can help me with this problem.
