Freesurfer Matlab scripts for reading and writing files
by Keefe, Sarah 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Hi, I am part of the Freesurfer anonymization project mentioned in an earlier thread- sorry to start a new thread but I was unable to reply to the previous one. We are trying to find out how to remove all provenance information from .mgh files. I am having trouble reading .mgh files into Matlab in order to remove the tags at the end of the file. How would we read and write the tags section of an mgh file in Matlab? Would that be done using any of the Freesurfer Matlab scripts? I haven't had success with viewing or removing tags using load_mgh or MRIread - MRIread displays header information only. Thanks so much, Sarah ________________________________ The materials in this message are private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information or other information of a sensitive nature.

by miracle ozzoude 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Hello Freesurfer, I have 100 participants for my study and I would like to add control points and edit the pial for all of them. Is there a command that can automatically do both or do I have to manually inspect all 100 participants and add control point/ pial edit where necessary. thanks. Best, Paul

Question regarding: Binary label map to skull strip brains
by Karmacharya, Sarina 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Dear Freesurfer team, I have a questions for you regarding the binary masks (labels maps) that freesufer uses to skull strip the brain in the first part of recon-all. I was wondering if freesurfer stores/saves this label mask that it uses to skullstrip? If so what would be the naming convention of this label map/mask and the location of the label map/mask in the freesurfer folder. I will be waiting to hear back from you. Best Regards, Sarina

MGZ file tag edit
by LaMontagne, Pamela 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

We have several data sharing efforts going on in which we would like to assign new Subject IDs and paths. We have identified the following mgz files that have provenance info including timestamps, dcm file name, subject ID (subject_name/assessors/session_name/DATA/subject_name/mri). aparc.a2009s+aseg.mgz aparc+aseg.mgz aseg.auto_noCCseg.mgz brain.mgz ctrl_pts.mgz filled.mgz norm.mgz rawavg.mgz T1.mgz wm.asegedit.mgz wm.mgz Questions: 1. Are we missing any files with provenance? - I do not see this information in the surf files 2. Will using gunzip then zip affect the integrity of the files for intended uses? Any suggestions would be gladly accepted on how to edit the mgz/mgh tags.

Dear Freesufer experts, We are in the process of starting a large MRI project on normal aging and dementia. There has been a lot of discussions about what sequences to use. We are now thinking about combining several sequences. Is there an optimal combination of MRI sequences for Freesufer?

Dear expert, I want to run recon-all for 100 subject simultaneously. I found the following link about it, but as I'm a beginner in this field, I don't understand how to use it. Would you please kindly give an example with a subject names, directory , etc. what should be written instead of * , or how could I define the number of subjects, ...? Thank you very much. https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/UserContributions/Scripts/Two Best Regards F.Keyvanfard

2 beginner questions
by Brad Matushewski 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

I am running Freesurfer on a Virtual machine on Windows 10. 1) I am having difficulty creating a shared drive between Windows and Freesufer / Linux. Has anyone had success with this? 2) I tried to install gedit. I went to the Ubuntu software centre and downloaded it. I then asked me for a password for authentication before I could install it. I never set up any such password...Where is this coming from and how do I proceed? 3) [Logo] Brad J. Matushewski, M.Sc., R.Kin., CSEP-CEP.
