Clear background from command line
by Datta, Aditya 01 Jan '24

01 Jan '24

External Email - Use Caution Hi, Is there any way to clear background for a volume file from the command line. I am attempting to overlay electrodes onto a T1 image, and I would like for the background of the electrode files to be clear when they are loaded from a script. Thanks, Aditya Datta Staff Research Associate II UCLA Department of Neurosurgery 670 Charles E.

MEMPRAGE dura flags
by Akkoyunlu, Beyza 01 Jan '24

01 Jan '24

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I have longitudinal data with MEMPRAGE. I want to improve white-gray matter boundaries by using dura flag. But I’m a bit lost about how to do it. Your previous recommendations to use echoes with “mri_make_surfaces” function, yet the surfaces only needed-created in the base and long steps. Should I register the echoes to the respective anatomical’s long version and then use mri_make_surfaces? if not, do you have any suggestion about how to go for it? Thanks in advance Best, Beyza

Cortical Thickness Measurement in Cortical Lesion ROI
by 李浩 01 Jan '24

01 Jan '24

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer Experts, I am currently engaged in a project where I need to measure the cortical thickness of a segmented cortical lesion (ROI) in the volume space. After running recon-all for my subjects, i employed 'mri_vol2surf' function to project my ROI from the native T1 space to indiviaul surface space. My command was as follows: mri_vol2surf —mov $chronic_CMI_volume_path/"$sub_base"_chronic-CMI_4-1.nii.gz --hemi rh --surf white --projfrac-avg -0.1 1 0.05 --interp nearest --o "$sub"_chronic-CMI_4-1_rh.mgh --regheader "$sub" --trgsubject “$sub” However, I encountered an issue where I could not locate the ROI in the individual surface space, as the values in "$sub"_chronic-CMI_4-1_rh.mgh were all zero. I suspect this might be due to a registration error or possibly the small size of my ROI (only 4 voxels). Do you have any suggestions on how to address this issue? Additionally, I am wondering whether it's possible to register the cortical thickness map from the surface space back to the individual volume space, then calculate the mean cortical thickness of my ROI there. Alternatively, is it feasible to convert the coordinates of my ROI's center point to the MNI152 coordinate and then surface-based coordinates and directly create an ROI in the surface space? Any feedback on these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bests, Hao Li

volumetric to surface using mri_vol2surf: tpl-MNI152NLin2009cAsym
by Lee, Jeungchan 01 Jan '24

01 Jan '24

Hi Freesurfers, I was wondering if there is a registration matrix (from volumetric to surface) for MNI152NLIN2009cAsym template. I was not able to find any (relevant) dat files in $FREESURFER_HOME/average/. I have some data in that space and would like to map them on the surface for visualization. Thanks, jeungchan

Recon-all failing with pre-skullstripped input data (mri_em_register can't find brainmask.mgz)
by James Hengenius 29 Dec '23

29 Dec '23

External Email - Use Caution Hello FS experts, I downloaded some anatomical data. I have defaced full images and pre-skullstripped images for each participant. I tried the defaced images first, but FS skullstripping looks a little off (possibly because the defacing hides bits of the cranium in some images and causes problems in mri_watershed). So I would like to use the pre-skullstripped files as my initial inputs. I have placed the pre-skullstripped file for each participant in $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subjid/mri/orig/. Each participant's skullstripped input volume is named 001.mgz. I then submit the following command in a script to my slurm queue (after setting appropriate FS env vars), where the script input ${1} is the $subjid mentioned above: recon-all \ -subject ${1} \ -all \ -openmp 40 \ -noskullstrip The output log from FS ends with the following error. The function mri_em_register seems to be looking for brainmask.mgz, and fails to open it. If the input image is already extracted from the skull, do I need to manually call it brainmask.mgz rather than 001.mgz? Or am I missing something else in my function call (like order of flags)? Does -noskullstrip need to come before -openmp, for example? Thanks! Jim H.
