Dear all I know that i’ve posted this question before, but yet nobody replied and we do really need an answer to close our project. Your “Segmentation of hippocampal subfields” wiki article refers to the publication: “A computational atlas of the hippocampal formation using ex vivo, ultra-high resolution MRI: Application to adaptive segmentation of in vivo MRI“. Within the paper there are two figures No. 4 & 6 demonstrating the probabilistic atlas and mesh deformation. We do need to know how you created these illustrations. I attached one of the images as an example Thanks a lot Julian

Longitudinal hippocampal subfields analysis
by Manuel Delgado 14 May '17

14 May '17

Dear all, I set out to perform a longitudinal analysis of hippocampal subfields. I have already edited the cross and/or the bases when necessary and obtained the longs. Then I have obtained the hippocampal subfields by the automated pipeline: recon-all -s <subject> -hippocampal-subfields-T1. Now I am going to create the qdec table to proceed with the analysis, but I don't know whether I have to smooth the data by recon-all -long <tpid> <baseid> -qcahe before the analysis, or given that hippocampal subregions have been extracted by using its own pipeline it is not necessary to do any smoothing. Thanks -- *Manuel Delgado Alvarado, MD* Neurology Department Neuroimaging Unit Valdecilla Biomedical Research Institute, IDIVAL Santander, SPAIN

Re: [Freesurfer] recon-all freezes while CORRECTING DEFECT 60
by Weisholtz, Daniel S.,M.D. 12 May '17

12 May '17

Dear Bruce, Thank you for your help. I was able to view the defects. It does seem to be an extensive defect—possibly retained dura? I’m not sure of any other way to fix it. Do you think that the poor quality of the source image makes it impossible to generate any kind of surface using free surfer?

We did pretty well given the input I think. To visualize the defects you can cd into the subject's mri dir and run: fv -v brain.mgz wm.mgz:colormap=heat -f \ ../surf/lh.orig.nofix:overlay=../surf/lh.defect_labels:overlay_threshold=1,100 \ ../surf/lh.inflated.nofix:overlay=../surf/lh.defect_labels:overlay_threshold=1,100 then click the "use overlay color" button for the lh.orig.nofix surface. You can also change the display paramters in "configure overlay" to find a specific defect by setting the min/max to a narrow range around the one you are interested in (this will put it in the middle of the range and color it orange) cheers Bruce On Thu, 11 May 2017, Weisholtz, Daniel S.,M.D. wrote: Dear Bruce, Thank you so much for your suggestions.

Re: [Freesurfer] TRACULA tract reconstruction
by Antonin Skoch 12 May '17

12 May '17

Dear Joelle, regarding the conversion to .bvecs, could you please show the example of difference between bvecs converted by mri_convert of FreeSurfer and mrconvert of mrtrix3? Do you have most recent version of mrtrix3? There have been a quite extensive discussion on implementation of FSL .bvec convention in mrtrix3 in spring 2016: http://www.mrtrix.org/2016/04/15/bug-in-fsl-bvecs-handling/ However, there have been quite a big effort to settle this issue and I am pretty convinced that the recent versions should have this issue resolved. Maybe you can also post this to the mrtrix community forum, they are usually responding very quickly and each post gives detailed attention. Regards, Antonin Skoch ??Dear Tracula experts, I am applying Tracula on a longitudinal data set, and have some questions I am hoping you could help me with: Firstly, upon visual inspection, several tracts appear to be quite messy, or small (on the default freeview threshold) for most subjects. However, the -stat step from Tracula does not necessarily flag these tracts as outliers. What is then the best way to decide whether tracts are not correctly reconstructed and need to be rerun separately once more? Can I rely on the flagged outliers? Or should I rerun all the tracts that do not look ok after visual inspection? And in the last case, for tracts that look small, are they considered as correctly reconstructed if looking ok at lower thresholds than the default of freeview? Second, concerning the rerunning of poorly reconstructed tracts, I was wondering if there might be a more automated way to configure the dmrirc file in order to adapt it for each subject/each tract to rerun (and its corresponding control points). Third, I was wondering if there is a recommended software for obtaining bvecs and bvals. For the moment I used mrconvert (from MRtrix, using the -export_grad_fsl option) and the new mri_convert from freesurfer 6.0. As they give different outputs, I was wondering if this may impact the reconstruction. Lastly, would you recommend using freesurfer 5.3 or 6.0 for applying the longitudinal stream of Tracula? Related to this, is it recommended to use the same freesurfer version to obtain the long/base images, and to run Tracula? Thank you for your time, Best regards, Joëlle van der Molen

Segmentation faults with unpacksdcmdir and dcmunpack

Hi everyone. I’m unpacking dicoms collected on a 3T Tim Trio and I’m getting segmentation errors (see below) with two of ~80 subjects when using either unpacksdcmdir or dcmunpack (I’ve tried both commands with FreeSurfer 5.3.0 and 5.3.1, running on the Harvard NCF cluster). I’m not sure what to try next, hoping to get some advice . . . I don’t know that anything went wrong with the scans but it’s odd that only these two subjects are failing. Any ideas for a fix?

Trying to get functional scan working
by Brad Matushewski 11 May '17

11 May '17

Hello Freesurfer crowd. I am working on try to get my first fMRI scan working. I have come a long ways in terms of setting things up but have reached a road block that I have unable to get past. I have been following along the slides from the power point presentation "FSFAST Part 2". I got as far as slide #32: Preprocessing Command". Specifically, I entered the following command: preproc-sess -sf sessids -surface fsaverage lhrh -mni305 -fwhm 5 -pre-run Things started to happen but finished rather quickly. I looked through the text output and it would appear that it cannot find the bet.fsl tools(?). I looked at the directory to where it was looking at it IS in there (i.e. /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/bet.fsl) I also labelled things exactly as outlined: (i.e. /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/handedness/project/Sess01) I have attached a couple text files from the output logs. What can I try next? [Logo] Brad J. Matushewski, M.Sc., R.Kin., CSEP-CEP.
