How do you create labels from binary masks?
by Marcos Martins da Silva 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi, Freesurfers. I need to create some labels from binary masks. Sometime ago I read a post (https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2013-October/033783.… ) and, unless I am wrong, it seemed to me that mri_label2vol could be the tool to get it. If so, could you please explain how? I read documentation on wiki and help from the command itself and could not see how to accomplish that. I could only find how to create a volume from a label. What I need to do is to get a mask like the binLeftHippoHead.mgz (attached) and create a label. Assuming it is possible, I could also make labels for Hippocampal body and head, merge the 3 labels into an annot file. This way i can use Freeview to load the whole hippocampal surface and discriminate the 3 segments by colors with the annot file. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Marcos.

Extracting individuals data at a vertex
by O'Shea,Andrew 24 Oct '13

Hello FS experts, In QDEC when I click on a vertex a scatter plot is generated with each individuals data for that vertex. Is there a simple way to extract that data (for each subject) into spreadsheet form for a specific vertex? -Andrew

label issues (converting from the MNI space to the Talairach space)
by Qi Wu 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi Freesurfer users, I need to design a ROI map for my project. It has to be based on certain coordinates. The ideal is to draw a circle based on the coordinates in the Talairach space in Freesurfer, which I do not know how to achieve. The alternative is to draw a spherical cluster in fsl and convert it back to the Talairach space in Freesurfer, which I don't know how to do either. Any suggestions? Many thanks Keith Postdoc fellow Toronto Western Hospital Canada

Re: [Freesurfer] Problem in final analysis
by Douglas N Greve 24 Oct '13

Hi Carina, I still don't understand what you are trying to do. It looks like you have run the individual analysis (recon-all). Have you looked at the results for the individual? Do they look ok? QDEC is for group analysis, but you should make sure that the individuals look ok first doug On 10/23/2013 10:48 AM, carina(a)van-vlodrop.de wrote: > > Hi Doug, > > > maybe I created the brain correctly with the file I mentioned. > > To try if there is the problem of a wrong brain or that there is a > problem just in uploading it in qdec I heard something about an > "example-brain" from freesurfer. > > Maybe it is possible to tell me where I can find this brain to use it > for my analysis in combination with my qdec table which I can upload > without problems. > > > Carina > > > > ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- > >> Von: Douglas N Greve >> Gesendet: 21.10.13 17:13 Uhr >> An: freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu >> Betreff: Re: [Freesurfer] Problem in final analysis >> >> >> fsaverage is already part of the distribution.

installation trouble - error message subjects directory not recognised
by muellersvenc 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi all, I am running into trouble testing my freesurfer installation on a Mac (10.6.8). I followed all steps in the guide but there is something funny that freesurfer does not seem to recognise its own "subjects" directory (see attached screenshot). If screenshot is not visible, it says: -------- freesurfer-Darwin-leopard-i686-stable-pub-v5.1.0 -------- Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL) WARNING: Applications/freesurfer/subjects does not exist FREESURFER_HOME /Applications/freesurfer FSFAST_HOME /Applications/freesurfer/fsfast FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii.gz SUBJECTS_DIR Applications/freesurfer/subjects MNI_DIR /Applications/freesurfer/mni FSL_DIR /usr/local/fsl I think it might have to do with the fact that there is a "/" missing in front of the "Applications" but I don't know where/how to change this. I checked my StartUp.csh file and there everything seems fine. However, the subjects directory was definitely created by freesurfer (also screenshot) so there is a mismatch somewhere. I am sure it is a simple thing but can someone please let me know what I should do so I can start to enjoy freesurfer? Many thanks in advance, sven

Dear all, I noticed that in the TRACULA statistics output files (pathstats.overall.txt) the variable "Count" that should indicate the number of sample paths in the WM tract is the same for all the computed tract.

improvement of segmentation qualitiy by setting control points
by Annemarie Brandhofe 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Dear freesurfer community, we have encountered some problems with setting control points to improve segmentation quality. Mainly, white matter was classified as grey matter after completion of the first run that incorporated control points. Now we have several questions, we would be very thankful for your comments: 1. According to your expereince, how many control points for the overall brain are usually necessary to obtain good segmentation results? 2. Are control points necessary at all? Is there a way to control the segmentation quality? 3. Is there any visual example on how to best set control points? Thank you for your help, Annemarie
