Parcellation II
by Wan Park 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

cheers! i did exactly the same thing with another brain but this time i obtained this which looks much better: (i am sending this again in a smaller size to avoid the mediator) i guess this is correct. now, how can i use this areas to calculate the gray matter volume of these "standard areas"? thanks! wan

Parcellation
by Wan Park 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Hello, I need to parcellate the brain in "standard areas" (eg. prefrontal, occipital, temporal, etc.). I have a MAC and I did the parcellation with the new binaries that Kevin Teich sent me. What I have is a multicolor brain painted in tiny pieces. Is this correct? What I am interested is to calculate the gray matter volume (with mris_anatimical_stats) of some "standard areas". How can I do this? Thank you very much! Wan

nu_correct problem
by Michele Perry 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

I'm having problems with recon-all. It used to work but recently, every time I've used it, I get a nu_correct error. I don't think we have had any freesurfer upgrades since the last time recon-all worked. Here's the log. Anyone know what's wrong? ip07:mperry[12] setenv SUBJECTS_DIR <path/to/subjects/dirs> ip07:mperry[13] setenv FUNCTIONALS_DIR <path/to/subjects/dirs> ip07:mperry[14] recon-all -stage1 -subjid subject_ID ######################################## program versions used $Id: recon-all-nmr,v 1.50 2004/08/31 18:05:08 tosa Exp $ $Id: mri_motion_correct2,v 1.8 2004/10/04 22:52:12 greve Exp $ mri_convert --version $ $Header: /software/source/minc/cvsroot/minc/progs/rawtominc/rawtominc.c,v 6.12 2 003/11/14 16:52:24 stever Exp $ minctracc.c $Header: /software/source/registration/mni_autoreg/minctracc/Main/minctracc.c,v 96.5.2.1 2003/07/05 01:58:08 stever Exp $ $Header: /software/source/minc/cvsroot/minc/progs/mincresample/mincresample.c,v 6.12 2003/09/18 15:01:33 bert Exp $ $Header: /software/source/minc/cvsroot/minc/progs/mincaverage/mincaverage.c,v 6. 4 2001/04/24 13:38:42 neelin Exp $ $Id: talairach2,v 1.7 2004/08/31 18:07:37 tosa Exp $ mri_convert --version $ # $Id: mritotal.in,v 1.11.2.1 2003/11/17 06:01:15 stever Exp $ # $Id: nu_estimate.in,v 1.1 2003/04/16 14:29:34 bert Exp $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ####################################### INFO: SUBJECTS_DIR is <path/to/subjects/dirs> --------------------------------------------- MotionCor Tue Mar 15 16:03:21 PST 2005 <path/to/subjects/dirs>/<subject_ID>/mri/orig mri_motion_correct2 -o . -i 001 -i 002 tmpdir is ./tmp-mri_motion_correct2-23141 -------------------------------------------------------------- mri_motion_correct2 logfile is ./mri_motion_correct2.log -------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Converting 001 Tue Mar 15 16:03:21 PST 2005 mri_convert 001 <path/to/subjects/dirs>/<subject_ID>/mri/orig/tmp-mri_mo tion_correct2-23141/cor-1.mnc reading from 001...

RE: [Freesurfer] thickness measures
by Kirk, Gregory 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi I would like to know if anyone has much experience doing pediatrics with freesurfer. I was able to get what look like good results from a 2 year old and a 16 year old, the surfaces look good with only automated topology fixing. An 8 year old needs a lot of manual work. The +- on the cortical thickness was .8 and .9, I don't know if that is larger than usual or not, for averge of a hemisphere. Greg.

Transformations
by Lars Tjelta Westlye 14 Mar '05

14 Mar '05

Hi, I'm having some problems using the talairach command on scewed T1 volumes (the subject has been scewedly scanned). The talairach coordinates (mni Talairach) does not seem to transform the volume properly, resulting in scewed segmentations when I manually insert the mni Talairach coordinates into the mri_filled command. (that is, mni Talairach coordinates for lh, rh, c.callossum and pons). Are there any alternative transformation commands which may solve this issue? Best wishes, Lars Tjelta Westlye

FreeSurfer/FSL course
by Bruce Fischl 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcing: FSL & FreeSurfer Course 18-22 July 2005 - Boston, USA Organised by FMRIB Centre, University of Oxford and Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, MGH/MIT/HMS http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fslcourse/2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------- We are pleased to announce the 2005 FSL & FreeSurfer course in Waltham, Boston, USA. The intensive course covers both the theory and practice of functional and structural brain image analysis. Background concepts and the practicalities of analyses are taught in detailed lectures; these are interleaved with hands-on practical sessions where attendees learn how to carry out analysis for themselves on real data, with at most two attendees per computer. By the end of the course, attendees should be able to fully analyse their own FMRI and MRI data sets. The course is aimed at both new and existing users of these packages and will cover both basic and advanced features. The methods covered include * Functional MRI analysis: - GLM-based analysis of FMRI data including Bayesian multi-subject statistics (FSL - FEAT) - Model-free (ICA) analysis of FMRI data (FSL - MELODIC) * Cortical-flattening of images and its applications (FreeSurfer): - Cortical flattening for improved FMRI analysis, including inter-subject averaging - Group studies of cortical morphometry; thickness, folding, surface area, volume * Structural MRI analysis: - Image registration and unwarping (FSL - FLIRT/FUGUE) - Brain extraction and tissue-type segmentation (FSL - BET/FAST) - Structural spatial statistical analysis e.g. atrophy (FSL - SIENA/SIENAX) * Analysis of diffusion-weighted imaging data, including tractography and related applications (FSL - FDT) * Paradigm optimisation (Optseq) --------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information and to regsiter, visit: http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fslcourse/2005/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------

converting Siemens data
by Renat Yakupov 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

Hello, everyone. I am trying to convert Siemens structural images into COR images. If I do it from the GUI, it wont read the headers and even if I enter all the info manually, it would still say: "Convert (040004_S01) filed - working on: orig/mpr.easy/-unset-". What does it mean? Also, what do I enter in "Image Name Format" field if the image file names are something like 040004_S01_.2.98.2005.03.11.09.57.26.875000.10693070.IMA and both numbers 98 and 10693070 are changing in different filenames? However, if I try to do it with mri_convert routine, it would give me an error: "siemensRead(): file cols (18771) not divisible by image cols (926031904)". Now what is that supposed to mean? Does anybody every had problems like these before? As for images I use, I simply transferred them from the scanner as is without any additional work on them. Thank you beforehand. Regards, Renat.

inflated and pial node mismatch
by Ronald E Bryan (rbryan＠Princeton.EDU) 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

I wasn't able to run the afni programs 3dVol2Surf or MapIcosahedron on the Freesurfer surfaces since the number of nodes in the smoothwm vs pial surfaces differed: ** invalid surfaces, different # nodes (166167,166157) How can we best resolve this difference in the node numbers? thanks, -Ronnie
