Hello FreeSurfer Developers, I can't access numerical value of each volume after segmentation of MRI images. how can i access that? does "freesurfer" produce such value for each segment? Best, Hessam

Hi Experts, I tried to compile FreeSurfer on Ubuntu 16.

Hello Freesurfer developers, After succesfully running two recon-all's (error free), the third failed during mri_anatomical_stats. Any help would be appreciated (I am new to freesurfer). I found this error reported but not when recon-all has already successfully ran. Linux xubuntu-virtual box Freesurfer v5.3 recon-all.log is attached Thank you, Keiko -- J.

What measure is for the cortical surface area? The measure in the aparc.stats file states 'WhiteSurfArea' Jim ________________________________ The materials in this message are private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information or other information of a sensitive nature.

Qdec image considering multiple variables
by 박경일 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Dear FS developer, I am a FS beginner and trying to make QDEC images of cortical thickness difference (color-coded inflated brain) between groups. No problem when fsid, diagnosis, age, and sex were only included in qdec.table.dat file. However, adding any other factors such as hypertension, diabetes... etc. made error messages in a terminal window. I guess this error came from the some blank data, because some subjects do not have any information regarding hypertension or diabetes. Is there a way to make a figure showing a results of multivariate analysis? Thanks a lot in advance. Kyung Il Park, MD

Re: [Freesurfer] volume vs surface-based and surface smoothing
by Matt Glasser 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Volume-based registration is fine with subject as you have the same brain that you are registering (ideally such registrations are 6 DOF rigid registrations and any image distortions are corrected for). Surface-based registration is better when comparing across subjects due to the variability in cortical folding patterns and locations of areas relative to folds across subjects. Smoothing is best done on the surface if it is done at all. Smoothing in the volume harms one¹s spatial localization precision much more than smoothing on the surface for an equivalent FWMH in mm. It is worth keeping in mind that smoothing on the surface does still blur across cortical areal boundaries, however, so for many analyses it may be better to average within cortical areas rather than to smooth a lot. Peace, Matt.

I am confused about what is happening on the volume level and when exactly the surface is being created. My questions revolve around register-sess and rawfunc2surf-sess. Registration has 2 parts: 1: the native anatomical space is registered with the fsaverage space. This is happening during recon-all. 2: native functional data is registered with the native anatomical data. This is happening during register-sess in preprocess-sess. Aren¹t these both volume-based registrations? If not when are the surfaces created? My concern is that it is volume-based and I was under the impression from this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2862732/ , that all registrations should be done on the surface. I am also confused about rawfunc2surf-sess. I believe up until this function in preprocess-sess, everything has been done in the volume so this is the first step that is done in the surface, is that correct? And then does this do smoothing? I realized it has a fwhm input option so it must smooth. So is this where the functional data is now expressed in the surface and it also smooths? Or does surfsmooth-sess need to be run in addition to rawfunc2surf-sess? I basically just want to be making sure I understand when registration is volume-based or surface-based and when it¹s appropriate to use volume-based. And I was using the rawfunc2surf function assuming it was for smoothing, but I am not so sure if this only creates the surface or also smooths.

I have applied the contrasts that we discussed in the previous mails but they produce doubt results. In summary, I aim to look at: A- Difference between groups without considerer the covariate effect (I suppose that the maps will be in the intercept folder) ---> ANOVA between 4 groups B- Clusters in which the fMRI (dependent variable) is associated to the structural data (covariate), taking in account the groups (I suppose that the maps will be in the slope folder) ---> MANOVA between 4 groups Please could you check the contrast reported below?

I have applied the contrasts that we discussed in the previous mails but they produce doubt results. In summary, I aim to look at: A- Difference between groups without considerer the covariate effect (I suppose that the maps will be in the intercept folder) ---> ANOVA between 4 groups B- Clusters in which the fMRI (dependent variable) is associated to the structural data (covariate), taking in account the groups (I suppose that the maps will be in the slope folder) ---> MANOVA between 4 groups Please could you check the contrast reported below? I suspect that there are some errors because, looking at results: 1- The slope map is the inverse in color of the intercept map. 2- Newly, I would to verify whether the fcMRI difference observed between groups are associated to change in covariate (volume).

volume vs surface-based and surface smoothing
by Alissa Stafford 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hello, I am trying to understand the preprocessing functions to successfully complete surface-based analysis. I am confused about what is happening on the volume level and when exactly the surface is being created. My questions revolve around register-sess and rawfunc2surf-sess. Registration has 2 parts: 1: the native anatomical space is registered with the fsaverage space. This is happening during recon-all. 2: native functional data is registered with the native anatomical data. This is happening during register-sess in preprocess-sess. Aren’t these both volume-based registrations? If not when are the surfaces created? My concern is that it is volume-based and I was under the impression from this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2862732/ , that all registrations should be done on the surface. I am also confused about rawfunc2surf-sess. I believe up until this function in preprocess-sess, everything has been done in the volume so this is the first step that is done in the surface, is that correct? And then does this do smoothing? I realized it has a fwhm input option so it must smooth. So is this where the functional data is now expressed in the surface and it also smooths? Or does surfsmooth-sess need to be run in addition to rawfunc2surf-sess? I basically just want to be making sure I understand when registration is volume-based or surface-based and when it’s appropriate to use volume-based. And I was using the rawfunc2surf function assuming it was for smoothing, but I am not so sure if this only creates the surface or also smooths. Thanks, Alissa

by Visscher, Kristina M 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

A postdoctoral scholar position is available to work on a project using functional and structural MRI to assess how connectivity of visual areas is altered following loss of central vision and increased use of peripheral vision in the Visscher lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (https://labs.uab.edu/visscher/) This project is part of the NIH-funded Human Connectome Project, Connectomes in Human Diseases program. Applicants must be motivated and have prior experience with programming and imaging data analysis. Prior work in computational methods, vision, psychophysics, and/or eye tracking is a plus. Please send cover letter detailing your interests and fit with the lab, CV, and contact information for 3 references by email to Kristina Visscher kmv(a)uab.edu<mailto:kmv@uab.edu>. UAB consistently ranks as one of the top locations among US universities for training postdoctoral scholars. Located in Birmingham, Alabama, a metro area of over a million people, where access to technical resources and a collaborative, supportive environment combine to make a strong environment for postdoctoral work, and a very reasonable cost of living makes life on a postdoc salary comfortable. You will have resources and collaborative opportunities from our Civitan International Neuroimaging Lab including our 3T Siemens Prisma scanner, the UAB Center for Low Vision Rehabilitation, the Comprehensive Neuroscience Center, the Alabama Advanced Imaging Consortium, and Auburn University's 7T MRI machine, among other resources. More information about these resources are at https://labs.uab.edu/visscher/resources.
