by Ahsan Ali 22 May '24

22 May '24

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer Team, After reviewing the literature, I have a question: which atlases are used in the segmentation of the fornix, corpus callosum, and hippocampus from magnetic resonance images using FreeSurfer? This is a significant question for me, and I would appreciate a clear and concise answer. Please provide some relevant references.

Group Stats for hipposubfields, brainstem and amygdalar
by Carina Obermüller 21 May '24

21 May '24

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer team, I am looking for a group stats command like the asegstats2table and aparcstats2table command for hipposubfields, brainstem and amygdalar, but I couldn’t find it in the archives. I remember it was mentioned in the recent Freesurfer course, but I can’t find it anymore. Could you help me out? Also more generally, is there an overview page of all the possible group stats commands? Thank you so much in advance for your reply! Sincerely, Carina

how to resolve recon-all stopping at fill step
by Dong, Yilei 20 May '24

20 May '24

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer developers, Apologies for emailing once again about how to resolve the recon-all stopping exactly at the fill step. I understand this may have to do with specific issues on UCSD's computer cluster, but if UCSD's cluster is not having the most up-to-date version of the FreeSurfer module, would it make a difference if I asked UCSD's supercomputer team to update the module version, so that the entire processing stream may be able to run all the way for 1 subject? Would it also make a difference if I increased the number of cores for 1 subject from 1 to 2? Sincerely, Yilei

Request to Edit Page (if possible)
by Emily Popa 19 May '24

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I hope all is great. I ran into many issues using the -make flag with V 7.1 (based on instructions found in https://secure-web.cisco.com/1-msyefLYicmgJRp4aaxIyvNgBvyxq1mdLLjw-c5oMGhWw…) and discovered after investigating erratic behavior/crashes across a bunch of re-processed cases that I had made edits to, that the functionality is no longer supported. I think it might be really helpful to others if at all possible to indicate this on the wiki where it is mentioned as it took some time to find the relevant post in the archives. Thanks!

Freesurfer on a high-performance cluster (HPC) - MATLAB runtime
by Camilo Castelblanco Riveros 18 May '24

18 May '24

External Email - Use Caution Hi all, I hope your weekend is going great! *Context*: I am trying to run the amygdala/hippocampus segmentation in an hpc. *Issue*: The cluster that I use doesn't have the libmwlaunchermain.so file from MATLAB's 2019b runtime under (/optnfs/freesurfer/7.4.1/MCRv97/bin/glnxa64). Because I don't have permission privileges and standard bin/paths don't apply in the hpc, I can't do something like fs_install_mcr. *Question*: Does someone have the libmwlaunchermain.so file, or is there a way to run the amygdala/hippocampus module without it? Any experience with the hpc is helpful!

mri_watershed Error: read failed
by Schroder, Kirsten 16 May '24

16 May '24

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer developers, I am currently conducting a research project in which I am running 7T MP2RAGE images in Freesurfer version 6.0.1 but have a run into an issue. For 3 images I receive a watershed error stating “mri_watershed error: GLOBAL region of the brain empty!” which I tried to fix using the -skullstrip -no-wsgcaatlas flag but get different results: 1 image was successful but for 2 images I get mri_watershed Error: read failed (see attachment). It appears that the last file created is the 001.mgz file hence there is no T1.mgz file created and Freesurfer therefore gives this error. I wanted to know if there is way to fix this as I have not been able to find a successful solution from the archive. I have also run the same dataset in Freesurfer version 7.2.0 and receive the same error for some scans. Any help would be appreciated. Freesurfer version: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.1-f53a55a uname -a: Linux pc8-009.ion.ucl.ac.uk 2.6.32-696.1.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 21 12:19:18 EDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thank you, Kirsten
