Combining Echo Frames Error
by Maksimovskiy, Arkadiy 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Dear Freesurfer experts, Here are the commands I entered, and errors I received: recon-all -subjid Test01 -i /Testing/T1_MEMPRAGE_4/IM-0002-0206.dcm -autorecon1 #@# MotionCor Thu Aug 31 09:00:15 EDT 2017 Found 1 runs /Users/amaksimovskiy/Desktop/Testing/Test01/mri/orig/001.mgz Checking for (invalid) multi-frame inputs... ERROR: input(s) cannot have multiple frames! /Users/amaksimovskiy/Desktop/Testing/Test01/mri/orig/001.mgz has 4 frames If this is a multi-frame MEMPRAGE image, use mri_concat --rms to combine echo frames. Could you please advice on how I can run the mri_concat --rms to combine echo frames? Also, would this have to be done before the autorecon1, and then reference the output (dicom or mgz?) into the recon-all command? Thank you for your help and information. - Arkadiy -- Arkadiy L.

Occipital Cortex Segmentation
by Torrado Carvajal, Angel 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Hello, I need to get the segmentation of the occipital cortex. I am attempting to generate the corresponding ROI, using the mri_annotation2label command and then running mris_anatomical_stats to merge the labels and get the actual volume. I am calling mri_annotation2label as follows: mri_annotation2label --subject <ID> --hemi lh --lobesStrict lobefile --outdir 'TEMP' However, I have a couple of questions: 1. Is there any way to generate both lh and rh together? Or should I generate separate volumes and then merge them? 2. What is the structure of the lobefile? I cannot find any example on the wiki. Thank you very much for your help! -- Angel Torrado-Carvajal Postdoctoral Research Fellow Pain Neuroimaging Laboratory MGH/HST Athinoula A.

Freesurfer Preliminary Questions
by Ledesma, Jason 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

To whom it may concern, I am to attend the upcoming Freesurfer course session in Boston, and I would like to ask a few preliminary questions. I am currently attempting to run Freesurfer 5.3 on a windows unit via the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager. I have tried to follow the instructions of the tutorial thus far, but am having trouble properly downloading the tutorial data into Freesurfer (the data I am attempting to acquire can be found at http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/OutputData_freeview) I have tried setting up a shared folder and placing the data in a "Machine Folder", but I still cannot interact with the data. Do you know why this may be? I see that a license key must first be obtained in some instances; perhaps this is the reason there are issues. Also, what is the best way to download the most recent version of Freesurfer on windows? Thank you.

Map of covariance
by stdp82＠virgilio.it 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Hi list,by applying a design e.g. 4GV1 in fsgd I could assess the dependence of group differences taking in account the effect of covariate.Anyway, where I should look if I want assess the the map showing the clusters in which the dependent variable is associated to covariate, tacking in account the group difference? Please could you suggest my the path?Thanks Stefano

upsampling ?h.curv
by shahin＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Dear Freesurfers, I want to project a map on up-sampled inflated brain. Up-sampled inflated brain has been generated using mris_mesh_subdivide command (without any problem). But when I apply the same command to ?h.cuv I get an error message that: ERROR: MRISread: file 'surf/rh.curv' has many more faces than vertices! Probably trying to use a scalar data file as a surface! I even tried to regenerate ?h.curv files using mris_make_surfaces as below: mris_make_surfaces -c -white rh.white_upsampled subjid ?h But this command automatically down-sample rh.curv after down-sampling rh.white. Regards

Interpretting Brain Segmentation Volume to eTIV ratio
by Mehta, Chintan 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Dear FreeSurfer community, I wanted to interpret the BrainSegVol.to.eTIV ratio that is outputted from FreeSurfer version 5.2.0. In my sample of normally developing adolescents of ages 8 to 21, this ratio is between 0.65 and 0.85 for 98% of subjects. However, the value is less than 0.65 for 2% of subjects. Could this reflect actual feature of brain volume to eTIV? Or is this a reflection of poor scans, poor overall FreeSurfer processing, or inaccurate eTIV estimates for these subjects? Subjects with BrainSegVol.to.eTIV ratios less than 0.65 tended to all be females. They had Brain Segmentation volumes falling in normal ranges of females in the full sample. However, their eTIV was on the upper-end among eTIVs of females in the sample. If the eTIVs for these subjects were over-inflated, then it makes sense the ratios are especially low. Thank you. Best, Chintan

Multi-Subject Comparison in FreeSurfer
by Sherrill, John T 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

I am a new grad student and have been assigned a project in our Brain Imaging Research Center. I would be taking the time to push through and find these answers on my own but our program gives us 5 weeks of half days in a lab for a trial. So I am in a bit of a time crunch. I have been given a database of about 500 .nii files and been asked to find duplicates or likely duplicates. (Some subjects were duel-consented so they may have multiple scans.) What is the best way to recon-all all of the files? Individually, in small groups, or in one larger group? If I do it in groups do I need to list each file or can I just recon-all the entire directory? And if a recon-all on 1 file takes 6-20hr, will doing a recon-all on the entire data set take 500*(6-20hr)=3000-10,000hr? Any help is greatly appreciated.
