Version 6.0 patches for hi-res data
by Alexopoulos, Dimitrios 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution I came across info for version 6.0 that generated statistical errors when using high resolution input. https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/BrainVolStatsFixed We have used the '-hires' flag and, more recently, the '-conf2hires' flag with recon-all.v6.hires command. Our input data is 0.8mm^3 I presume we only need to rerun the stats using the mri_segstats and mris_anatomical_stats patches, correct?

Hippocampal subfields FS6 vs. new hippocampus tool (incl Amygdala) FreeSurfer_dev version
by Rene Seiger 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear all, I recently saw that the page of the hippocampal module for FS6 (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/HippocampalSubfields) seems to be obsolete and it looks as if this module will be replaced by a newer version in the near future (now dev version, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/HippocampalSubfieldsAndNucleiOfAm…) However, I am not entirely sure how those two modules differ in terms of hippocampal subfield segmentation, when the "FS60" parcellation scheme is used in the new module. It is stated that 'it mimics the FreeSurfer 6.0 hippocampal module', but is the output 1:1 comparable?

freesurfer container - freeview error
by Arnaud Boré 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer' experts, I've created a singularity container from the official docker hub freesurfer repository (https://hub.docker.com/r/freesurfer/freesurfer) When running: singularity exec freesurfer.sif freeview I get this error: freeview_bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No suche file or directory. I would like to know if this is something related to the containers or the host computer and some tips to fix this. I tested the singularity on different computers/laptops and ended up with the same error so I think there is an issue with the singularity/docker container. Thank you in advance Arnaud

FreeSurfer analyses in MatLab
by Graduate Imaging 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I recently ran a vertex wise analysis on two different projects the first had three groups with three co-variates that looked at if group membership was associated with brain volume. The second project had two groups with three co-variates looking at psychiatric x BMI interaction effect on brain volume. I'm interested in running ROI analyses in matlab to ensure the same matrices were used. To run the ROI analyses I'm going to important the design matrix from the vertex wise analysis and use the fast_glmfit and fast_fratio commands as shown below: X = load('Xg.dat'); C = load('C.dat'); y = load('ROI.dat'); text file containing participant ROI values from the DKT atlas. [beta rvar] = fast_glmfit(y,X); [F pvalues] = fast_fratio(beta,X,rvar,C My first question is the beta values that are calculated from fast_glmfit are unstandardized is there anyway way to have it compute standardized values? My second question is when I ran the ROI analyses looking at the diagnosis x BMI interaction effect it outputs an array of beta values for each regressor. In addition to each groups beta value (for BMI) I'm interested in the beta value of the interaction (ie diagnosis x BMI). I was wondering how do i go about obtaining this? Would I have to create a new matrix with the interaction term included in it? If so would the analysis essentially be one group with the diagnosis x BMI interaction term plus the three co-variates?

Troubleshooting FLAIR Images
by Swanson,Clayton 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi FreeSurfer Developers, After looking through the archives my question still remains. I am wondering if the same rules apply for editing/correcting FLAIR images as it does for T1 images. For example, can I add control points to the WM.mgz then re-run recon-all using the command recon-all - s <subject> -autorecon2-cp -autorecon3. For visualization I have attached a screenshot of what I am attempting to correct. Thank you for your help, Clayton [cid:9B76FB99-0BA6-4427-99CE-74076577DE40@hsd1.co.comcast.net.]

help: fs-fast group level analysis per run
by Rami Hamati 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello freesurfers, I'm attempting to run second-level analysis on separate runs of a brain scan, that were generated by selxavg3-sess -run-wise (pr001, pr002, pr003, pr004) as described in selxavg3-sess --help. But, when attempting to concatenate the data using isxconcat-sess, (as described here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsFastTutorialV5.1/FsFastGroupLev… ) there is no similar -run-wise function. I've searched the list and no similar errors have been reported.. I am wondering if there is a command or workaround for this. Thank you very much! -- Rami Hamati, MSc.

Mean thickness values from sig.mgh
by Amrita Bedi 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello Freesurfer developers, I wanted to extract mean thickness values of all participants from the uncorrected significance maps obtained from mri glmfit for structural data instead of extracting it from the corrected maps from glmfit sim. Is there a way to do this? Thank you. Amrita

global measures of volume bug
by Christian Krog Tamnes 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear FS experts, I came across this post about a bug related to global measures of volume from version 6.0: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/BrainVolStatsFixed I have two questions that I hope someone can clarify: 1) This bug does not affect measures of cortical thickness or area, or specific subcortical volumes, correct? 2) For longitudinally processed data, is it sufficient to run the proposed solution (recon-all -s subject -segstats -parcstats -parcstats2 -parcstats3 -wmparc -balabels) on the longitudinal data, or do we need to first do it on the cross-sectionally processed data? Best regards, Christian

Qdec and TkSurfer input boxes
by Marcos Martins da Silva 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi! I use FreeSurfer 6.0 over CentOS 7. I have just notice a problem with input/entry/edit boxes in Qdec and TkSurfer. I can see box content, click inside the box and even select the content but it seems read only: I can't change it. So it is impossible to see the scatter plot from a specific vertex inputing its number. Any clue about what happened and how to fix it? Thank you for your attention.
