error with mri_ca_register in long
by miracle ozzoude 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

External Email - Use Caution Hello All, When running the longitudinal pipeline for version 6, i encountered this error " TransformSample: gcam has not been inverted!; Numerical result out of range". I found a thread with similar error but the problem wasn't solved. https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail/freesurfer/2017-April/051240.html . Just like the previous thread, it happens whenever I include the "-bigventricle" flag. Below is a sample of my recon-all scripts from cross-sectional to longitudinal. The error.log and recon.log files are too large to send. Thank you.

Resample data for longitudinal comparisons
by James Gullickson 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

External Email - Use Caution All, I would like to compare cortical thickness between two timepoints. Timepoint 1 has 1mm^3 data. Timepoint 2 has 0.8mm^3 data. I realize that there are limitations with this change in resolution between timepoints and that no analysis is going to be perfect, but I am trying to come up with the best possible solution. Would it work to resample both timepoints' raw data into 0.9mm^3 ( mri_convert --conform_size 0.9 invol outvol ), and then run the 0.9mm data through Freesurfer 6.0 submilimeter recon? If so, are there any special considerations I need to take into account after the initial recon, or would longitudinal processing after this point be per normal? Thanks, James

Longitudinal Processing question
by Nillo, Ryan Michael R 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer experts, I have a few questions on the longitudinal processing stream. I am interested in studying longitudinal morphometry changes in a pediatric population. The age range of this population is between 4-20 years with age deltas between a few months to < 2 years. I want to know what are appropriate/acceptable age deltas used for longitudinal processing. I looked through the archives and one researcher asked about age deltas. One of the answers was that “if the time delta is relatively small, this has good chances to work”. What does “relatively small” mean? If the time points exit the longitudinal pipeline without errors and the surfaces look correct, does this mean the data is relevant?? When I correct for head size, should I use the eTIV values from the cross-sectional directories or the longitudinal directories? Thanks in advance, Ryan Michael Nillo Staff Research Associate I University of California San Francisco Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging

Missingness and recent developments in longitudinal pipeline for pediatric samples
by Mohn, Johannes 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

External Email - Use Caution Dear FS Experts and Community, we are working on a longitudinal dataset of structural T1w images in a pediatric sample assessed at 2 waves, 2 years apart (aged 6/7 and 8/9). As far as we know, it is yet unresolved whether the Freesurfer longitudinal pipeline is robust in pediatric samples, where the head size is still changing or have there been any recent developments? Also, is there any documentation on how missingness affects this Pipeline? We look forward to your response Thank you, Laurel and Johannes Jacobs Entwicklungsstudie Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung Max Planck Institute for Human Development Lentzeallee 94 14195 Berlin Tel.: 030-824 06 371 E-Mail: jacobs-studie(a)mpib-berlin.mpg.de<mailto:jacobs-studie@mpib-berlin.mpg.de>

Seeing the Parcels as Volumes
by Maedeh Khalilian 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer experts, I have used "mri_annnotation2label" and "mri_label2vol" to change the parcellation output of FreeSurfer e.g the lh.aparc.annot into an ".nii" so i can see the parcels in Mricro. Now I can see the parcels just on the cortex not on the whole graymatter. The first question I have is that, is the parcellation done on the whole graymatter? And if yes, is there a way that I can see the volumes on the whole graymatter, not just on the cortex? I would be grateful if you could help me. best regards, Maedeh,

Do you think I have to change some setting to run it? Also, I've looked for solutions and couldn't find a one which really fits my problem. Would you please help me trouble-shoot this issue?

External Email - Use Caution | | Dear freesurfer experts, I am trying to run recon-all with -hippocampal-subfields-T1 flag to get hippocampal subfield information. I tried many times but always finish with error. The MRI data is obtained from GE750 MRI machine. The resolution is 1mm*1mm*1mm. below is the commands I used to run freesurfer and attached is the recon-all log file. recon-all SubJ01_ReoT1.nii -s SubJ01_ReoT13THip -hippocampal-subfields-T1 -brainstem-structures -3T -qcache -all I am not sure if there are something wrong with my inputs.
