hippocampal subfields command
by Alexopoulos, Dimitrios 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

A quick question re: hippocampal segmentation. I have processed 1mm isotropic T1 data with 5.3 using the following command: recon-all -qcache -all -hippo-subfields How is this this different than using the following command I have found here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/HippocampalSubfields -hippocampal-subfields-T1 Thanks.

segmentation issues in Temporal Lobes
by Barbara Kreilkamp 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Dear Freesurfers, Unfortunately I am having a problem with recon-all segmentation in some of my participants. It seems that part of the brain is cut off in the medial part of the Temporal lobes (please see attachment), around the region where the hippocampus is. I am unable to place WM region control points, as the algorithm does not have seemed to miss white matter, rather only gray matter of the hippocampus. I've seen on your website that also there the cortical surface does not include the hippocampus, so I wonder if this is intentional? Problem is that the surface here grasps some of the hippocampus but not all of it. What is the best way of solving this? Thanks very much. Best wishes, Barbara

Inquiries about the curvature
by Mahtab Farahbakhsh 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Dear FreeSurfer, I am using the mris_anatomical_stats output to calculate the curvature and thickness indices for different brain areas. However, I am not sure what the mean and gaussian curvatures mean. I could not find a complete description on these two. Would you please guide me what principle curvature and mean and gaussian curvatures means exactly? I appreciate your concern in advance. Best Regards, Mahtab.

Hello, Just a couple more questions that would be great if you could answer in explanation form: How do people develop finite element models from brain MRI? How do people learn and implement the software on an example data set?

FSFAST time series extraction

mri_surfcluster
by tom parker 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Dear Freesurfers, I ran a comparison between different groups using mri_glmfit. Now I would like to correct the results in sig.mgh by multiple comparisons using FDR. I tried using tksurfer but it doesn't work so well on my computer and I read that freeview does not allow to do that yet. I'm now trying to use mri_surfcluster to do it. Is this correct? mri_surfcluster --in sig.mgh --subject fsaverage --surf inflated --hemi lh --fdr 0.05 --sign pos After I run it some thresholds appear in the terminal. Should I use these thresholds to create a FDR corrected sig.mgh map or is there a direct way of getting this using mri_surfcluster or other command? Thank you so much!

Hippocampal Subfields Segmentation
by Permesh Dhillon 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hello FreeSurfer Developers, I’m having issues with the hippocampal subfields segmentation using OS X Yosemite v10.10.5, Freesurfer dev version 6.0, Freesurfer Subject Stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.2.0 Current Stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-dev-20160616-8264611. I ran the recon-all -s VE002 -hippocampal-subfields-T1 command and keep getting an error message : Error:CTF file '/usr/local/freesurfer-dev/bin/segmentSubjectT1_autoEstimateAlveusML.ctf' failed to open for 'Read' access. Error message: 'Open a zip file for read/modify failed.’ The segmented hippocampal files as described on free surfer wiki cannot be found under the subject ‘mri’ folder. I understand other users have complained of a similar issue within the last week. I’d ve grateful if you could assist me with the issue above.

Any updates on recon-all GPU support?
by Derek Pisner 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Anyone manage to successfully configure recon-all to run with -use-gpu for recent cuda toolkit versions? I realize cuda support has ceased over the past few years for Freesurfer, but have there been any successful builds for CUDA toolkit versions 6 and up? I am currently looking to configure cuda support on a Tesla K80 GPU, which is part of a small beowulf cluster, which is working wonderfully with FSL's cuda support. Many moons ago, when gpu support was working, I found the -use-gpu option with recon-all to be significantly faster and more practical (for the user) than the -openmp option (which even on a 150 core cluster has provided limited speedup during batch runs). Curious to hear what others have been doing. -Derek

Re: [Freesurfer] trac-all error (bvecs and bvals don't have same number of entries)
by Lars M. Rimol 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hi Anastasia, I have attached the dmri/bvals and dmri/bvec ("bvals"/"bvecs") and the dmri/dwi_orig.mghdti* files. I don't know if it's a problem but the generated bvec file has commas instead of full stop (0,832 instead of 0.832). The input file (attached: "bvec_rows") has full stop. Another thing is that the generated bvals file has an empty space at the end of the row, which is not there in the input file ("bvals_rows"). thank you! LMR Hi Lars - At first glance, these files look fine to me. Do the dmri/bvals and dmri/bvecs files that get generated look fine too? a.y On Sat, 2 Jul 2016, Lars M.

Apply mris_apply_reg for a label

05 Jul '16

Hello everyone, I have a label for the left hemisphere for my subject but I don't understand the syntax to apply mris_apply_reg on this label to obtain the right hemisphere version. mris_left_right_register was performed to get lh.sphere.left_right and lh.sphere.left_right but I don't know how to use this for the mris_apply_reg command. Thanks in advance for your answer. Alexandre
