Problem of the Mapping Label to the Subject
by 李梦君 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer Developers: My name is Mengjun Li, I am a MD in the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. I compared the cortex, area, volume in the mild traumatic brain injury patients with health control by the FreeSurFer and found the problem when mapping label to the single subjects. There is statistic difference in the area and volume between the mild traumatic brain injury patients and the health control, I defined the statistic difference region as a label on the fsaverage and mapped this label to subjects by the Qdec. Although the label defined on the fsaverage was mapped onto all subjects successfully,the label in the subjects did not match well with the inflated cortex of the subjects. At the same time, the volume and area value of the label have been extracted in every subject and I found that there is no statistic difference between the mild traumatic brain injury patients and health control. I have checked the segmentation of every subjects and it was a good job done by FreeSurFer. Attached figures illustrated the label mapping results. Figure 1: the label defined on the fsaverage Figure 2: the lateral view of the label in the subjects Figure 3: the inferior view of the label in the subjects FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-Darwin-OSX-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c Platform: macOS High Sierra I am sending this email for help since I am not sure how to fix this problem. Looking forward to hearing your reply! Thank you very much! Best wishes Mengjun Li Second Xiangya Hospital Central South University.

Creating ROI from sig.mgh
by Basavaraju, Rakshathi 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

External Email - Use Caution I have run a vertex based gyrification index analysis. Now I want to create a mask/ROI from the cluster of vertices which are above the threshold of 3 in sig.mgh file (p<0.001). Which command should I use for this purpose? Is it mri_mask? or mri_vol2roi? Next how do I extract the GI value (a numeric) from the above obtained ROI from individual scans? If anyone has done anything similar with thickness or volume (which I am sure many would have done), it would be helpful if you guided me. Eagerly waiting for your response.

External Email - Use Caution Hi Expert, I am trying to render the surface maps using tksurfer command in the freesurfer VDI. The data was rendered on the brainmask , however the options for this maps are not appeared (as shown in the figure). [cid:image004.jpg@01D6A27B.5A1522A0] Further I found the error message on the command window that related to tcl command as shown here. I would appreciate if you can provide the possible solution to this issue. [cid:image001.png@01D6A279.F78D6670] Thanks, Satya. ________________________________ The materials in this message are private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information or other information of a sensitive nature.

Help with creating contrast matrix - 6 classes and 3 variables
by Paul Dhami 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer community, I am having trouble with my contrast matrix, and would greatly appreciate any help with this. I have 2 categorical variables, sex (2 levels) and training type (3 levels). I also have three (continuous) variables: Age, percentage reduction in depression scores, and number of sessions. I would like to assess the correlation between cortical thickness and % reduction in depression scores, while accounting for the effects of sex, training type, age, and number of sessions as nuisance variables. Below is 1) my command line, 2) the FSGD fiile, and 3) the design matrix 1. mri_glmfit.bin --y MDD-lh-thickness.mgh --fsgd Reduction_Correlation.fsgd.txt --C ME_ReductionCorrelation_Contrast.txt --fwhm 20 --surf fsaverage lh --glmdir /Users/prabhjotdhami/Desktop/CorticalThickness/Data/myGLM 2.

Qdec - talairach to vertex for display purposes
by Paul Dhami 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer community, I have an experiment in which participants received brain stimulation using anatomical coordinates which I have in talairach space. I have run a whole-brain analysis using qdec, and I have a surviving cluster. For display purposes, I would like to show that the coordinates that were stimulated fall within this cluster. Is there a way to plug in talairach coordinates within the qdec display so that the cross hair (or some sort of other marking) appears at that specific corresponding vertex? Thank you, Paul

External Email - Use Caution hello, FreeSurfer  I have loaded rh.pial and rh.aparc.2009s.annot, why my version does not have the label view option that can see the annotation? Is it a version issue? My FreeSurfer version:freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c Looking forward to your reply

asegstats2table error with options --etiv and --no-vol-extras
by Rovai Antonin 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello, when using asegstats2table with the two flags --etiv and --no-vol- extras, I get the following error: ERROR: --etiv, cannot find EstimatedTotalIntraCranialVol in list It seems computing the ratio of volumes to etiv needs etiv to be included in the list (which by the way is not very useful because it is 100% by definition), but is there a way to get the ratios without including all the "extra" volumes? For instance using asegstats2table --tablefile "output.txt" --no-vol-extras --etiv --segno 225 I would expect to get the volume of CC_Anterior in % of etiv.

Moving .nii atlas to surface space and create .annot file
by Maron M. 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer Team, I need to move an atlas file, Shen268 in 2mm (https://www.nitrc.org/frs/download.php/7977/shen_2mm_268_parcellation.nii.gz) from volumetric into surface space in order to do some analysis in MATLAB with it. Specifically, I need the atlas file as .annot and a .sphere (I think this would be from the anatomical template). So far, I have not succeeded. I believe it is some combination of recon-all, mri_vol2surf and mris_seg2annot, however the details are unclear. I think the initial problem is with the recon all. In this question (https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg63687.html) it says I should recon-all the "anatomical template". Could you elaborate which template that is? Its not the atlas file itself, but just some T1 in the same space? And that will give me the file necessary for the --reg command in mri_vol2surf, I guess? Sofar, I think this is what I have to do: 1) Recon-all -all -i "anatomical_template" (I am stuck here already, since I don't know what to recon-all here...) 2) mri_vol2surf --src atlas_file.nii --out outputfile_rh.mgz --hemi rh --projfrac 0.5 (--trgsubject fsaverage or —reg register.dat from recon-all?) 3) mris_seg2annot --seg outputfile_rh.mgz --s fsaverage --h rh --ctab-auto --o atlas_rh.annot I would be very thankful for any suggestions and support. Best and thanks a lot!
