application of mri_cvs_register question
by Hoptman, Matthew 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi all, I see how to apply mri_vol2vol to DTI data from dt_recon, but I'm not clear on how to do so to DTI data processed in Tracula. The command in the "Multimodal integration and inter-subject registration" tutorial is: mri_vol2vol --targ templateid --m3z morph.m3z --noDefM3zPath --reg 2anat.register.dat --mov diffvol --o diffvol2CVS --no-save-reg But in Tracula, there are no "register.dat" files, or indeed no *.dat files. Is there a way to convert one of the *.mat files in the dmri/xfms directory to a *.dat file? Also, given that I think Tracula and dt_recon use different transformation algorithms, which Tracula transform should I choose? Thanks, Matt Matthew J. Hoptman, PhD Research Scientist V Nathan S.

minor fsfast bug report
by Joseph Dien 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

In the annot files generated by mri_glmfit-sim in 5.2.0 (e.g., cache.th20.pos.sig.ocn.annot), the names of the clusters take the form: cluster0 cluster-001 cluster-002 … but the last one is of the form cluster6 which is to say, no dash and no zero-padding. I assume they are meant to have a consistent format. Not a big deal, but consistency would be helpful for scripts. Cheers!

Loading thickness data in python
by Sebastian Urchs 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to load thickness data into python such that I would be able to identify the thickness at a given mesh node and also identify surrounding nodes. I searched the mailinglist and found this http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg07307.html but this unfortunately did not solve my question as I was unable to find a downloadable version of pymgh. Is there some python package that you could point me to and that allows me to load thickness data and do analysis in python? Thanks in advance! Sebastian

Dear Freesurfers, Do you think I should delete the extra dura-like structure in the attached case? Thank you very much! Sincerely, Ye

Delete dura in brainmask.mgz and add voxels to wm.mgz
by ye tian 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Dear Freesurfers, It turns out that I should edit both brainmask.mgz and wm.mgz for a subject. In this case, may I recompile with recon-all -autorecon2 -autorecon3 to save time? Thank you very much! Sincerely, Ye

Freesufer registration problem
by lijia 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi doug, I apologize for the delay. I've verified that the registration to the native anatomical space is correct. I read the processing log. It seems that the registration of volume is implemented from functional to anatomical, then anatomical to mni305 spaces. So I also test the registration of native anatomical space to the MNI305 space via Talairach transformation matrix generated by 'recon-all' is correct. I don't know why the registration of functional space to mni305 is wrong. Thanks Best Regards! Rebecca

fsfast read_surf bug
by Joseph Dien 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

I've been trying to use the read_surf.m Matlab function included in the Matlab folder of 5.3.0 on a Mac under Matlab 2013a. >> [vertex_coords, faces] = read_surf('fmcpr.sm5.fsaverage.lh.nii'); Undefined function or variable "vertex_coords". Error in read_surf (line 77) vertex_coords = reshape(vertex_coords, 3, vnum)' ; It looks as though the reason is that the "magic number" evaluates as: 6029568 which does not match either of the numbers it is looking for (which denote triangle and quad files). Does that mean that current surface files have a different format and this function needs to be updated accordingly? Anyway, is there some way I can load surface files into Matlab? I looked through the fsfast Matlab functions but it wasn't clear to me if one of them would do. The best candidate seemed to be fast_read_curv.m but it yielded too many numbers so I'm thinking a curvature file is something different. Thanks!

Re: [Freesurfer] FW: how to obtain MRI coordinates of scalp surface points marked in tksurfer
by Jeff Eriksen 14 Jul '13

Doug, Freeview looks like the best way to get what I want. Still trying to figure out how to mark a point in the 3D viewing window, but at least when I mark them in the 2D windows I get all the coordinates I need.

One way around it is to find the vertex number, then find the RAS for that vertex by converting the surface to ascii. freeview might do a better job than tksurfer. doug On 01/03/2013 10:38 PM, Jeff Eriksen wrote: FreeSurfer experts, I am trying to mark points on a surface in tksurfer, then obtain their original voxel coordinates.

Measure outer surface area
by Irene Altarelli 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Dear all, how can I measure the surface area of the outer surface computed to calculate lgi? I've tried mris_anatomical_stats subject lh pial-outer-smoothed but that doesn't work (since it doesn't match lh.pial). Any idea would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Irene
