tkmedit_error

Dear FreeSurfer experts, I have a problem running any command in the terminal (Ubuntu 12.04). For example when I run the following command tkmedit bert orig.mgz I get the following error ERROR: A segfault has occurred. This is not your fault, : but is most likely an unrecoverable error and has : made the program unstable. : : Please send the contents of the file .xdebug tkmedit : that should be in this directory to freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu : : Now exiting... So I need your help please. Ali -- *Ali M. Al-Radaideh.

Hi Folks, I wanted to ask which Freesurfer regions from aparc+aseg.mgz are included in Default mode network ? Is there a relevant publication on this topic ? Thanks Mehul

Save ROIs/labels from mri_glmfit group analyses
by Vy Dinh 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Dear Surfers, In qdec, there is an option to draw a ROI (of a significant cluster) and save that ROI as a .label file. Does the command-line version, mri_glmfit, have an equivalent protocol? I have unsuccessfully tried to create these ROIs in Freeview (which for some unknown reason, has been crashing when I click on the "configure overlay) and tksurfer. Ideally, I want to save clusters from the group comparison as a .label file, so please let me know if there is any free surfer command that can do this. -- Vy Dinh MD Candidate, Class of 2017 University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health

head surface
by Meryem Ayse Yucel 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Sorry about that, here is the whole correspondance: Hi Doug, I used mkheadsurf function. Meryem Hi freesurfer community, I am trying to get faces and vertices of the head surface mesh in Matlab. freesurfer_read_surf works perfectly when I extract faces and vertices for the pial surface (from lh.pial), but I get an "unknown magic number in surface file" error when I use the same function for lh.seghead (which I assume is the head surface?). Any help on what I am doing wrong? Thanks! Meryem

Hi Anastasia Thanks for your quick reply. I’ve changed the command and I got one step further.

Correlation of symptom severity and significant clusters
by Katharina Zech 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Dear all, I want to do a correlation of significant clusters found after full monte-carlo simulation and symptom severity of patients affected with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The aim is as follows: First, to see whether the severity of symptoms correlate with the degree of structural brain alterations. Second, whether the degree of structural brain alterations shows a correlation with specific subtypes of OCD. As I run the full monte-carlo simulation, the significant clusters pop up in tksurfer. So could you explain to me the following steps? Thanks a lot! Katharina

BBRegister Patch
by Zamroziewicz, Marta Karolina 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Good morning! Is the bbregister patch available yet (original email below)? Thank you for your time and assistance! Marta Zamroziewicz MD/PhD Candidate Decision Neuroscience Laboratory University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign mzamro2(a)illinois.edu<mailto:mzamro2@illinois.edu> 815-980-3882 This email is related to the archived “bbregister and FLAIR” email chain posted by Kayle Sawyer on 5/23/2014 (http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg36117.html) We have also been registering with FLAIR scans, and have run into a problem with approximately half of our subjects. Recon-all completes successfully but a bad registration step leaves our MPRAGE and FLAIR scans misaligned. I’ve attached two screenshots, the first of which shows a bad registration and the second of which shows a good registration. Per your previous suggestion, we ran bbregister using the following flag: bbregister --s SLOTS007 --mov flair.mgz --init-header --reg reg.test.dat --t2 --lta reg.test.lta This did result in a good registration, and we are hoping to incorporate this into our processing pipeline to ensure that we can use the FLAIR for refining the pill surface. The problem that we’ve run into is that we aren’t sure at which point this bbregister step occurs within the recon-all process flow. We were thinking there are a couple of possibilities: 1. manually create the transformation matrix for the FLAIR using the command mentioned above, and then re-run whichever steps necessary in recon-all to include this manually created xform; 2. apply the manually created xform to the mri/orig/FLAIRraw.mgz image to create a new, properly aligned mri/FLAIR.mgz, and then re-run recon-all with whatever steps/flags we need to include this FLAIR image to refine the pial surface. Unfortunately we're not exactly sure which flags to include in recon-all in order to most efficiently re-process our data with the manually created FLAIR transformation, and we were hoping you might offer some advice on this point. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. [cid:32781EBE-87CB-4FF9-815F-4D732E675168@beckman.uiuc.edu][cid:45A8FE84-7BD3-4C2E-8618-AE9786828CF2@beckman.uiuc.edu]

Cervical cord atrophy as a tool for monitoring disease evolution and for predicting long-term disability in patients with multiple sclerosis. Dr Maria A. Rocca 5. The morphological, microstructural and functional MRI correlates of motor, cognitive and neurobehavioral impairment in patients with movement disorders. Dr. Federica Agosta 6. Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (ftld): using supervised machine learning techniques to classify individual FTLD and Alzheimer's disease patients. Dr. Federica Agosta The lab has a strong background in multiple aspects of neuroimaging from sequence programming and software design to the analysis of structural and functional images from patients with different disorders of the central nervous system. The candidate will join a group with multiple interests in the field in a positive and productive environment. The ideal candidate should have expertise in the acquisition and analysis of advanced MRI techniques (volumetric, diffusion tensor MRI and functional MRI).

Hi all, In the freesurfer pipeline, is cortical segmentation (and the subsequent surface construction) based on the actual scans or on the scan in talairach space? Thanks, Will Brown
