mri_segstats reporting more decimals
by Winkelbeiner, Stephanie A 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

External Email - Use Caution Hi Freesurfers, Is there an option to write out more decimals when using the mri_segstats command? I'm extracting mean diffusivity values and would need at least 5 decimals to make sense of them. Thanks for your help!

Power analysis
by Laura Ferrero 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

External Email - Use Caution I performed a two tailed t-test analysis using stats data and after the analysis, results were corrected for multiple comparisons using FDR. Now, I want to perform a power analysis and I have some doubts: 1. Gammavar is the variance or the standard deviation (i.e., effect size should be gamma/gammavar or gamma/sqrt(gammavar)). 2. The alpha value to be used should be the original alpha (0,05) or the new one obtained after FDR. Thank you, Laura

FreeSurfer Stats files: format of 'Measure' lines
by ts+ml＠rcmd.org 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer experts, I'm parsing data from FreeSurfer stats files, e.g., <subject>/stats/lh.aparc.stats and aseg.stats. My question: when parsing measure lines, which combination of fields are guaranteed to uniquely identify a measure? Here are two example lines (from aparc.stats): # Measure Cortex, NumVert, Number of Vertices, 140843, unitless # Measure Cortex, WhiteSurfArea, White Surface Total Area, 94426.8, mm^2 If you ignore the line header part '# Measure ', each line consists of 5 fields. Is it, for example, safe to assume that the combination of the first 2 fields ("Cortex" + "NumVert" for the first example line) is unique?

NormMean information
by Keith Harenski 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

External Email - Use Caution Hello, What would local, individual differences in normMean voxel intensities signify? Is this related to any physical properties of the brain, or is the more of a QA measure for the white matter segmentation?

Extracting both the GM and WM ROIs
by Song, Da-Yea 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I've been trying to extract ROIs directly from the Desikan atlas by using the mri_annotation2label and the aparc.annot files from the fsaverage folder. I noticed that this pulls out the grey matter portion for these regions but was wondering if there was a command or file that I could use to do the same for both the grey and white matter. For example, is it possible to extract the grey and white matter region of the posteriorcingulate (in one file)? Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Inferior colliculus and Brainstem-cochlear-nucleus
by Chama Belkhiria 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

External Email - Use Caution Dear comittee, I need ROIs of Inferior Colliculus and Brainstem-cochlear-nucleus. Can freesurfer distinguish it from other brainstem structures in segmentation? I have found these references in the LUT "7100 Brainstem-inferior-colliculus and 7101 Brainstem-cochlear-nucleus", but idid not find them in the aseg or aparac files. How to measure the volume and thickness of these regions? Thank you in advance Chama ***** Post Doctoral Researcher Audition and Cognition Center Neurosciences Department Faculty of Medicine, University of Chile

Re: [Freesurfer] Does data orientation (Neurological Vs. Radiological) produces different results

Segmentation Query
by Fariha Muazzam 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

External Email - Use Caution Hi I am working in Freesurfer for subcortical segmentation of brain, I did segmentation of a volume and I got around 45 regions. Is it possible that I could customize the regions I want or number of segments that I want?

GPU/supercomputer adaptation of freesurfer?
by John Absher 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I'm planning a freesurfer analysis of a large MRI dataset, and want to use the "380 GPU nodes" (and other cores/nodes) on the Palmetto Cluster (https://www.palmetto.clemson.edu/palmetto/userguide_palmetto_overview.html) to speed up the process. Since I am not a programmer, I'm hoping someone can give me a quick tutorial: a) Is this going to speed up recon-all and the data analysis? b) How much programming/expertise is required to enable freesurfer to take advantage of a supercomputer's resources? c) Has anyone done this already? d) The Palmetto Cluster is more or less limited to command-line. As long as I visualize the data on another system, I assume this will not be a problem, right? Thanks, John R.

Longitudinal stream : LME and limits of model
by Matthieu Vanhoutte 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Dear Freesurfer’s experts, I would have some questions regarding the LME model to be used in longitudinal stream: 1) Which are the ratio limits or % of missing timepoints accepted ? (according time, I have less and less subjects time points) 2) Is it possible to include patients that would miss the first timepoint but got the others ? 3) Considering a group in longitudinal study, which is the number of subjects minimal of this group accepted for LME modeling ? 4) Finally, concerning quality control and among a big number of total time points, which essential controls are necessary ? (Control of norm.mgz of the base, alignment of longitudinal timepoints on base,… ?) Best regards, Matthieu
