Correcting defect
by Katarina Trojacanec 09 May '16

09 May '16

Dear FreeSurfer Team, I have been trying to run creation of template with FreeSurfer. However, for two cases for one patient (case 1: template based on TP1 and TP4, case 2: template based on TP2 and TP4), the correcting defect step is running too long. According to the information in the mail archive, the defects are probably too big, and that is the reason for the long processing. May I send you via ftp the subjects directories so you can help me to proceed with this subject, because I am not able to figure out and correct the problem? Should I send you the base directories in their current state or the cross-sectionally processed time points as well? Best Regards, Katarina Trojacanec, M.Sc.

LME parpool matlabpool update
by Seán Froudist Walsh 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hey, Not sure if this could save someone else the trouble. The LME fitting software wasn't working for me since I updated Matlab, which has now switched from matlabpool to parpool for parallel processing, so I switched the call in the scripts to parpool, which seems to be working fine. Please find the updated scripts attached, for anyone interested. Best wishes, Sean Sean Froudist-Walsh Postdoctoral Fellow Friedman Brain Institute Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Volumetric measurments and difference between results from "recon_all" and "mri_segstats"
by Saeed Mahdizadeh Bakhshmand 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hello Folks, I used the recon-all -i -all -segmentation for the structural image. FreeSurfer makes several folder and one of them is "stats". In this folder, there is aseg.stats that includes volume of different brain regions. Also, I found "mri_segstats" command line that gives us the volume of the same brain regions. But, there is significant difference between reported numbers from these two methods . I would say the difference is approximately 200 mm3 for each brain region. Do you know what is correct way to measure volume of segmented brain regions using FreeSurfer? Cheers, Saeed

Free surfer Gray Matter
by Limachia, Gaurang (NIH/NINDS) [F] 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hello Dr. Fischl, I had question about Freesurfer, I am trying to correct the gray matter volume. So I made changes by adding pixels to the contour, and ran recon-all. Subsequently, when I opened up the file after performing recon-all I saw were the pixels (which are white) that I added when I was making the changes. How do you make changes to the gray matter, and what type of recon command should I run after making the changes. I searched through the various tutorials, but that further confused me. I am attaching a screen shot of the brain as well as the tool that I used to add the pixel, and you will be able to see the white pixels I am mentioning above. Thank you for your time. Best Regards, Gaurang Shyam Limachia

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical Thickness of a Volume-defined ROI
by Mahtab Farahbakhsh 09 May '16

09 May '16

Dear FreeSurfer, I am trying to find the cortical thickness of my ROI which is the perisylvian region of the left hemisphere. What I did was to define a label based on the anatomical area of this region and tried to define a ROI based on this label and the command -mri_label2volume. Howevere, I am using freeview and the tutorial that I found about this issue was based on tkmedit. Would you please guide me how I should get this done? Best Regards, Mahtab Farahbakhsh.

Manual correction for brainstem module
by Jacky Lee 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hi freesurfer experts, I have successfully run the brainstem module for some subjects. On visual checking, I can see there are voxels with T1 hypointense lesions mislabelled as non-brainstem tissue. I manually corrected them on the brainstemSsLabels.v10.mgz on Freeview. Then how do I obtain this new corrected volume of the brainstem substructures? Thanks. Regards, Jacky

Cortical Parcellation
by Heidi Foo 08 May '16

08 May '16

Dear FreeSurfer experts, I apologise for posting this again. I am unable to get the volumes for the cortical regions despite following the commands on https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CorticalParcellation I am using FS5.3 to do the parcellation. I created a folder called "labels" inside each of my subject folder. Attached the output. I tried to use mri_mergelabels -i label1 -i label2 -o outputlabel. Attached the command as well as the output. *I am not sure if the output is correct and also, how should I get the total volume for each lobe out? * Thank you so much for your help. Regards, Heidi Foo

Hi Katarina how did you create the orig.mgz for these subjects? Either some registration failed badly or you tried to average data from different subjects (see attached tiff of one of the orig.mgz you uploaded) cheers Bruce On Thu, 5 May 2016, Katarina Trojacanec wrote: > Hi Bruce, > > I uploaded the subject dirs (base for TP1_4 and TP2_4, as well as the > cross-sectionally processed time points for TP1, TP2, and TP4).
