by Antonín Škoch 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

External Email - Use Caution Dear experts, I have encountered an failure of mri_cvs_register --mov my_subject --mni The resulting output file final_CVSmorphed_tocvs_avg35_inMNI152_norm.mgz looks like in the attachment. Could you please give me a hint, where could be a problem, or how to troubleshoot the mri_cvs_register routine? Regards, Antonin Skoch

.lta vs .dat questions
by Corinna Bauer 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

External Email - Use Caution Hi all, Can someone please explain the difference between .lta and .dat and why the registration looks different using the two file types? If bbregister outputs were already checked and edited (if needed) using the .dat file, is there a way to convert it to .lta? Thanks Corinna

TR: Issues at the "tailarach_avi" transformation step of recon-all

External Email - Use Caution ________________________________ De : Hensenne, Eva (Stud. FHML) <e.hensenne(a)student.maastrichtuniversity.nl> Envoyé : mercredi 18 octobre 2023 14:41 À : freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Objet : Issues at the "tailarach_avi" transformation step of recon-all Dear Freesurfer Developers, I am currently running recon-all on a UNI scan. This scan has already been partly preprocessed by a script called "presurfer". This presurfered scan should work with recon-all (and it indeed works for my colleagues). However, I have systematically an error when I try to run recon-all on those files. The error says: "talairach_avi log file is transforms/talairach_avi.log... Error:mpr2mni305 failed, see transforms/talairach_avi.log Command exited with non-zero status 1". I attached you the talairach_avi.log and the recon_all.log files. 1. Freesurfer version: freesurfer-linux-ubuntu22_x86_64-7.4.1-20230614-7eb8460 2. Platform: Unbuntu 22.04 3. Recon-all.log: attached Best wishes, Eva Hensenne

Common space
by Alberto Del Cerro Leon 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

External Email - Use Caution Good morning, I would be interested in observing regional differences in cortical thickness without using predefined regions. However the results offered by FreeSurfer arrange the thickness results etc. in an individual space which is difficult to compare between subjects before labeling. Is there a possibility to transform the results to a common mesh (like a template) in order to perform an exploratory analysis?

Re: [Freesurfer] Question about Freesurfer

External Email - Use Caution  Hello Mahdi, If you have not already done so, you might want to look at the Freesurfer wiki notes about setting up an X-server on Windows so linux applications running in WSL can display graphics using X-windows, https://secure-web.cisco.com/1IeFJcAKROeUNyLVra8oNytGyzB-Wv…  The setup listed there is for Xming, and you may want to look at both https://secure-web.cisco.com/1yLpWBJBzFQsVnx0Ncp8u61K6nbDOQ5sj4Uh-OSMos9GTr… and https://secure-web.cisco.com/1STa8uko59yOcskM83ifwl-XKlLZOFpLQkufk… Some people have found Moba X-term, https://secure-web.cisco.com/1ZVDzOuRds29V2esWHXhtFh_3s3wsJpkW…, easier to setup and test with glxgears compared to using Xming. It’s a good idea to get glxgears to display the spinning gears in an X-Window before trying to run freeview.  Or the display of glxgears can work, but freeview may still display a black/empty screen.  That can be from the graphics card drivers on the Windows host not being up to date or not supporting more recent versions of OpenGL. There are also quite a few postings about WSL on the freesurfer list. - R.

Appendix: DPABISurfSlurm DPABISurfSlurm is a high performance computing version of DPABISurf! You can use it on High Performance Computing (HPC, or supercomputing) center. The only requirement is Singularity! 1. Download the DPABISurfSlurm scripts to ${DPABISurfSlurmDIR}: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1ZkUL0iquwMSl08IjP7ZjP5AJFpFNw60h7dS6F4Wh0mxJH… 2. Download the singularity files: singularity pull dpabisurfslurm.sif docker://cgyan/dpabisurfslurm:latest and singularity pull freesurfer.sif docker://cgyan/freesurfer:latest. Or download from here <https://secure-web.cisco.com/1pYMqkkakGcgkJdcGjMUIsEqDKg_pLi4R0SfGcrWlbO0E_…>. Place them in the directory under ${SingularityDIR}. 3. Prepare your data in BIDS format in the BIDS directory under ${DATADIR}. You should also have a subjects.txt under ${DATADIR}. E.g., BIDS subjects.txt sub-Sub001 sub-Sub002 sub-Sub003 4. In the *.slurm files under ${DPABISurfSlurmDIR}, you should revise this line: #SBATCH -p normal #指定分区名称 normal is the partition you will use by Slurm. Ask your HPC administrator for the partition name you can use, and then revise “normal” to that partition name. You may also need to revise this line to correctly load the singularity module, please confirm with your HPC administrator. module load singularity/3.8.0 5. Copy DPABISurf_runSlurm.sh and SetEnv.sh from ${DPABISurfSlurmDIR} to your ${DATADIR}. 6. In DPABISurf_runSlurm.sh, you should define: export DPABISurfSlurmDIR="/work1/yancg/Scripts/DPABISurfSlurm" # Should have the DPABISurfSlurm files export SetEnvScriptDir="/work1/yancg/Data/Test/Test" # Should have SetEnv.sh # You should also go into SetEnv.sh to define your parameters!!! export DATADIR="/work1/yancg/Data/Test/Test" # Should have BIDS and subjects.txt 7. In SetEnv.sh, you should define: export DATADIR="/work1/yancg/Data/Test/Test" # Should have BIDS and subjects.txt export SingularityDIR="/work1/yancg/Soft/Singularity" # Should have dpabisurfslurm.sif. You can get it by singularity pull dpabisurfslurm.sif docker://cgyan/dpabisurfslurm:latest # Should have freesurfer.sif. You can get it by singularity pull freesurfer.sif docker://cgyan/freesurfer:latest export FreeSurferLicenseDIR="/work1/yancg/Soft/FreeSurferLicense" # Should have license.txt from FreeSurfer export RemoveFirstTimePoints="5" # Set up Number of time points needs to be removed export FunctionalSessionNumber="1" # Set up Number of Functional Sessions 8. Make a directory to save the log files under ${DATADIR} and cd to that directory. 9. source ../DPABISurf_runSlurm.sh. Submit your tasks! You can use squeue to check the status of running. 10. You will have all you want at ${DATADIR}/ResultsOrganized.tar.gz.

FIPS compliant license file
by Huang, Yujing 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi, We recently changed the Freesurfer license key encryption algorithm in our dev version to be FIPS compliant. If you have FIPS enabled machines, we would like to ask you to help us testing it, 1. download/install latest the dev version (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/dev/) 2. request a new license file in 5-line format (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html) 3. set FREESURFER_HOME to the install directory 4. set FS_LICENSE to the new license file 5. run 'mri_info <some image> --voxel 0 0 0' Older license files (4-line format) continue to work. The new 5-line license file will also work with previous releases. Do not replace your existing Freesurfer installation with this development build; this build is for FIPS testing purposes and has not been tested like stable releases. The FIPS changes will be incorporated into the next Freesurfer release. Let us know of any questions. Best, Freesurfer Team.
