Thalamus ROI
by saraizad＠alumni.ubc.ca 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Hi Freesurfer team, Is it possible to extract Thalamus as an ROI from aseg.mgz to be used for tractography in FSL. If so, what command I have to use to extract it. Can I use the LUT table to extract thalamus? Thanks, Sara

pineal gland
by Rotem Saar 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Dear Bruce and Doug, Thank u for your replay saying that it is possible to manually draw the pineal gland using freeview and extract stats for it. Can u please refer me to a link on wiki that explain how to do it? I'm not familiar with this procedure and although Doug explain it in brief I feel I need to follow some manual...is there something on the net? If not - can u please specify the steps I need to go through? Also, I have a full recon-all for the subjects I want to extract the volume of the pineal gland (using freesurfer version 3 something...). If I want to extract the volume of a specific ROI today using and advance freesurfer version (5+) - Do I need to run recon-all again with the newer version? Many thanks !

Updating FreeSurfer v5.1 statistics to FreeSurfer v5.3
by Hatton, Sean 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Hello FreeSurfer experts, I have many FS5.1 edited-subjects that I want to use in an application that only takes FS5.3 formatted statistics. I ran 20 subjects in FS51 and FS53. I took the FS51 subjects and reran recon-all -segstats (in FS53) and it updated aseg.stats closer to the values for FS53 native. I reran recon-all -parcstats but that didn't change the parcellation statistics. Correlations between FS51 updated and FS53 were ~r=0.91. It this a fair approach to take? Is there a fundamental difference between FS51 and FS53 that requires that I rerun/edit everything? Regards, Sean Hatton, PhD Postdoctoral Scholar, Department of Psychiatry UCSD

Please, see attached or below for details. Lilla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position in Infant Brain MRI analysis at the A.A. Martinos Center, MGH and Harvard Medical School under Dr. Lilla Zöllei A postdoctoral fellow is recruited for an NIH funded project for developing Freesurfer-compatible brain image analysis tools for children. Code development will focus on pair- and group-wise registration tools, segmentation methods and surface-based image analysis algorithms. The successful applicant should have a doctoral degree in a field related to medical imaging (e.g., computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, applied mathematics, computational neuroscience). She/he is expected to have a strong research background in method development and brain image analysis and should be able to work independently. Strong programming skills (for example, C/C++, MATLAB, and/or Python) are a must and prior experience with brain image-analysis packages (such as SPM, FSL, FreeSurfer, AFNI) is desirable. In addition, the candidate must also possess excellent English verbal and written communication skills. This position will be jointly hosted by the Laboratory of Computational Neuroimaging, MGH and the Department of Psychology, Harvard University, thus the position offers great opportunities to collaborate with a large group of scientists from diverse research disciplines. Approximate start date is fall 2017. For consideration please send a statement of interest, a CV and a list of three potential references via email to Lilla Zöllei, PhD (lzollei(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) The search will continue until the position is filled.

mri_glmfit-sim output

Dear Freesurfer team, In the mri_glmfit-sim summary output file, I get a number of output variables, and I'm not sure what some of them are. Could you explain the ones in bold to me? # ClusterNo Max VtxMax Size(mm^2) MNIX MNIY MNIZ CWP CWPLow CWPH NVtxs WghtVtx Annot 1 2.015 134872 355.89 -36.3 -9.7 -1.4 0.96620 0.96390 0.96850 841 1298.68 insula 2 1.652 71259 154.25 -49.4 -52.7 39.2 1.00000 -0.00010 1.00000 363 526.18 supramarginal 3 -1.521 91550 39.92 -37.1 -26.5 -23.3 1.00000 -0.00010 1.00000 90 -125.33 fusiform 4 1.322 139141 0.76 -36.4 3.5 -10.7 1.00000 -0.00010 1.00000 2 2.62 insula 5 1.312 73658 0.47 -36.0 -4.4 9.6 1.00000 -0.00010 1.00000 1 1.31 insula 6 1.387 133422 0.44 -5.1 -17.2 51.7 1.00000 -0.00010 1.00000 1 1.39 paracentral I know CWP stands for Cluster-wise P-value. But what is the low and the high number, a confidence interval? And isn't it odd that my p-values are (almost) 1? Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Rose

susceptibility-induced distortions
by John Anderson 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Dear Freesurfer experts, I want to inquire if there are any tools or any methods to improve T1 images which has "susceptibility-induced distortions" - attached an example. I need to fix these distortions outside the brain. In the mouth area and I am wondering what is the best approach to deal with it and fix it. I highly appreciate any help John

Sampling vertex-wise data across various distances from the core of a mask to a somewhere else on fsaverage
by Elijah Mak 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Hi Doug and Freesurfer Experts, I am trying to see whether cortical thinning gets progressively less severe as we move further away from a seed/voxel (e.g. precuneus). Is it possible to perform correlations between the (a) distance between a given vertex to specific point on fsaverage, and the (b) measurement (i.e. thickness) of the vertex? Say I have a binary mask of the precuneus seed, as well as a second binary mask that surrounds it. How may I go about getting the thickness values at various distances, starting from the central core of the precuneus seed to the outer boundary of the second mask? I was thinking of something analogous to the proj-frac function in mri_vol2surf where we could sample PET/fMRI data at different values along the cortical ribbon. Apologies if that was rather confusing. If you like, I could make a drawing of what I am trying to do. Thanks for your time. Best Wishes, Elijah

I've searched the list and no similar errors have been reported. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to trouble-shoot this one? Also, Ive attached the recon-all.log in case it's of any use. 1) FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0 2) Platform: CentOS release 6.7 (Final) 3) uname -a: Linux ubuntu 14.0.4 LTS 4) recon-all.log: see attached
