You're very welcome. Is your freesurfer recon-all output for this subject under /home/baileype/Desktop/JG005/freesurfer? Does the file mri/aparc+aseg.mgz exist? I'm cc-ing the freesurfer list so that our conversation is archived, other users benefit from it, and we avoid replication of questions.

Volume ROI statistics
by Garikoitz Lerma-Usabiaga 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hi, I want to obtain volume statistics from a ROI in fsaverage. I have register.dat and a .nii file (the ROI), but I don't now how to get to the .label. The last try has been: mri_vol2vol --mov $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/label/ROI.nii --o $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/label/ROI.mgh --reg $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/mri/transforms/my_own_register_created_with_bbregister.dat --targ fsaverage (but it is failing, error: corRead(): can't open file $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/COR-.info) My next steps were: cor2label (in fsaverage) mri_label2label (per every subject) mri_segstats (per every subject) Is there any simpler method to accomplish the same? Or at least that it works? many thanks, Gari

Hi Satra - What you're showing in the screenshots would be consistent with a L-R flip of the gradient directions, which is what my comparison of your gradients to the original Siemens gradients indicated.

How to change the color of the boundary surface?
by ye tian 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Dear freesurfers, Does anyone know how to change the color (default yellow) of the surface between the grey matter and the white matter? I see green and blue in the tutorial. Thank you very much! Sincerely, Ye

Re: [Freesurfer] longitudinal analyses for one group
by Sandra Preissler 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Dear Doug, Thanks a lot for your advice. We followed the examples on the wiki (http://ftp.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/GroupAnalysis#AssembletheD…) and tried to analyze our data as described. We have a single group with two continuous covariates. Therefore we created the freesurfer descriptor file (g1v2_I.fsgd) and three contrast files (main.mtx; age.mtx; Amputationsdauer.mtx). The preprocessing finished without error for both hemispheres. The following command line we used for the preprocessing: mris_preproc --fsgd qdec/GLM/g1v2_I.fsgd --cache-in long.thickness-avg.fwhm10.fsaverage --target fsaverage --hemi lh --out lh.g1v2_I.thickness.10.mgh After this we tried the mri_glmfit for our longitudinal data. Our command line was the following: mri_glmfit --glmdir g1v2_I --y lh.g1v2_I.thickness.10.mgh --fsgd qdec/GLM/g1v2_I.fsgd --C qdec/GLM/main.mtx --C qdec/GLM/age.mtx --C qdec/GLM/Amputationsdauer.mtx We get the error message: ERROR: you must use '--surface subject hemi' with surface data Therfore we tried to specify subject as fsaverage, hemi as lh, surface as thickness. Unfortunately, this did not work out and other alternative approaches to solve this problem did not function as well. Do we have to create a subject descriptor file for our longitudinal templates? Or did we miss anything else? We thought about creating the --X design matrix file for longitudinal data, we found the instruction for between factors. But this could not work for our data.

You will have to use mri_glmfit. Look at the FSGD examples on the wiki. doug On 06/28/2013 03:28 AM, Sandra Preissler wrote: [Zitattext verstecken] Dear freesurfer experts, we want to do longitudinal analyses for two different time points in only one group (We do not have a control group or different groups within the intervention). So we did the longitudinal processing as described in the tutorial (http://ftp.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/LongitudinalTutorial#Prepa…) Now we tried to investigate the results with Qdec. We wanted to test whether the averaged change of thickness between pre-test and post-test differs from zero. We had the experience that we could only test the averaged thickness by choosing a discrete factor in Qdec. Our Problem is that we don't have a control group. So we couldn't choose the group variable as discrete factor. It's an pre-post-design with only one group. Is it possible to investigate changes in thickness between pre-test and post-test without choosing a factor? Or do we have to create a group variable as discrete factor? Can you help us in fixing this problem? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help Unfortunately after your reply I could only download ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/mris_preproc the rest of the files are still un-downloadable! I have Mac freesurfer v5.1 and use "curl –O ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/mri_convert" to download the files Any help please!

Interior white matter surfaces
by Jason Reed 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Dear FreeSurfer Experts, I am attempting to construct surfaces that are 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm interior from the GM/WM boundary (?h.white). So going gradually deeper into white matter from the GM/WM boundary. I have successfully used mris_fill to fill the ?h.white surface and mri_morphology to erode the resulting volume, but I'm not sure on the correct procedure to create the new surfaces. Any advice or suggestions on tools with options to use will be greatly appreciated! My eventual goal is to project coregistered DTI data onto these more interior white matter surfaces. Thanks! -Jason -- Jason Reed VA San Diego Healthcare System (116A-13) 3350 La Jolla Village Drive San Diego, CA 92161 Phone: (858) 552-8585 ext. 2946 Fax: (858) 642-3836 jreed(a)vapop.ucsd.edu
