mris_anatomical_stats aparc pial and aparcstats2table
by _andreia_＠sapo.pt 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello list, I'm trying to get aparc surface area from the pial surface in a table using aparcstats2table but I'm not being able to... I've already created the file aparc_pial.stats inside the stats dir running the following command line from the subjects's label dir: mris_anatomical_stats -mgz -f ../stats/rh.aparcpial -b -a ./rh.aparc.annot -c ./aparc.ctab subjectname rh pial And if I open the aparc_pial.stats file the surfaces are bigger then in aparc (white matter). But when I try to get the table using: aparcstats2table --hemi rh --subjects subjectname --parc aparc_pial --meas area -t rh_aparc_surface_pial.txt I get the message: Number of subjects : 1 Building the table.. ERROR: cannot find /home/user/visao/Freesurfer/subjectname/stats/rh.aparc_pial.stats Use --skip flag if you want to continue in such cases What's wrong? Thank you, Andreia

White matter edits
by Eleanor Stahura 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hello, I am visually checking wm.mgz after running recon-all. There seems to be a pattern where I'm seeing white matter "bleed" past the (correct) white matter surface and into gray matter or appear in the sagittal sinus/dura. However, when I look at wmparc.mgz, the problem is no longer there and the white/gray matter is correctly segmented. Even if the wmparc volume is correct, do I need to do white matter edits? Thanks, Elle

removal oblique sforms
by Righart, Ruthger 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Dear Freesurfers, To obtain an accurate volume-surface alignment of Freesurfer surfaces in Caret, it is advised that oblique sforms should be removed from the header of the t1w images. I tried to remove the sform (using sform_code='0' and qform='1') and changed the nii header using fslcreatehd. However, something seems to go wrong, as my thickness data of the same subject are different than the thickness data from the original t1w images. In addition, alignment in Caret is still poor. I am puzzled and I would be happy to have your suggestions about removing sforms. Thank you very much in advance! FS 5.3. was run on a Linux machine x86_64. Ruthger

norm2b, norm2n
by Jason Tourville 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Greetings, I am working with pediatric data and have some early evidence that running recon-all with the flag -norm2-b 20 -norm2-n 5 improves the anterior temporal lobe segmention as suggested in the v5.2 release notes (I am running this with v5.3). I'd like to experiment more with this parameters to see if I can further improve the segmentation but have been unable to find a a description of how these parameters influence the 2nd norm. Can someone point me to such a description? Thanks, Jason Jason A.

Thickness analysis on fetal brain
by stdp82＠virgilio.it 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi list, we would like to perform cortical thickness analysis on fetal brain. We have a single shot T2 image (good quality) and T1 image (poor quality). All images are in 2D with overlapping and they are acquired by using 1.5 tesla. We have some questions: 1. Do you know a post-processing way to trasform 2D in 3D images and to reduce motion artifacts? 2. Is adapt single shot T2 image to measure the thickness? 3. Given that we are still acquiring data, do you advise a specific protocol to improve T1 or other sequences? Thank you very much, Stefano

fsaverage -> fsaverage3
by Itamar Kahn 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Greetings, We would like to downsample surfaces (e.g. using mris_decimate) but we want to duplicate the way it was done with fsaverage (namely, find out how fsaverage3/4/5 were created from the original fsaverage). Also, we wish to be able to project using mri_surf2surf but we don’t have sphere registration available (these are fetal imaging surfaces).

Re: [Freesurfer] glmfit with correlated covariates
by L. Schweren 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Dear FreeSurfer experts, Thank you for your fast reply. We are extracting cortical thickness values for statistical sub-analyses in SPSS (due to corrections required with regard to family relatedness within the data); therefore we want to be a 100% certain that the statistical model we use in SPSS is identical to the model used by mri_glmfit. Can you confirm that, out of the multiple linear regression types listed below, mri_glmfit makes use of the Direct (or Standard) regression model? Type Characteristics Direct (or Standard) . All IVs are entered simultaneously Hierarchical . IVs are entered in steps, i.e., some before others . Interpret: R2 change, F change Forward . The software enters IVs one by one until there are no more significant IVs to be entered Backward . The software removes IVs one to one until there are no more non-significant IVs to removed Stepwise . A combination of Forward and Backward MLR Thank you again for your help, Best wishes, Lizanne Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:04:00 -0400 From: Douglas Greve <greve(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] glmfit with correlated covariates To: freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Message-ID: <53207760.8010809(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" It is just a standard multiple regression analysis where all regressors are fit simultaneously.
