External Email - Use Caution Dear Sir or Madam, We are a company established in Turkey under the names beyinverimerkezi.com and braindatacenter.com, dedicated to providing measurement and reporting of brain volumetric values to MR Imaging Centers, private hospitals, and the Turkish Ministry of Health. Our primary objective is to deliver the data we obtain to neurologists, psychiatrists, and neurosurgeons prior to diagnosis, thereby guiding early detection and treatment strategies, as well as evaluating the efficacy of implemented treatments through controlled measurements. In pursuit of this goal, we would like to request an online meeting to explore opportunities for collaboration, integration to your ecosystem, and assuming roles that will contribute to the development processes. The meeting will include participation from our Turkish team: Prof. Dr. Niyazi Acer, who received his training at Johns Hopkins University; our software partner, Özgür Akbulut; and Turgay Şahin, the brain researcher and originator of the core concept. We eagerly anticipate discussing a suitable date and time, taking into account the time difference between our locations. We extend our profound gratitude to every FreeSurfer volunteer for their invaluable contributions to the field.

Editing segmentation output from SuperSynth
by Paine, Isabel 28 Jan '26

28 Jan '26

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I am new to FreeSurfer and have been testing the new SuperSynth tool on ex vivo chimpanzee scans. The segmentation output is generally good, but the cerebellum white/gray matter is often mistaken as cerebral white/gray matter. How can I manually edit the segmentations and recalculate volumes? Thanks! Isabel -- *Isabel Paine *(she/her) Neuroscience PhD Candidate Hof Lab <https://secure-web.cisco.com/12vWcbyCY5P0ckWnU8cN-d7Qo7iUhB7t-1PwYJ7s4zFUK9…> Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Talairach transformation
by Serena Tang 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

External Email - Use Caution Hi there, I just had a question about the Talairach matrix calculated during the recon-all processing. Is that matrix calculated with an affine transformation? And how many DOF is default? I couldn't find information on it in talairach_avi or the other pages on the Talairach function. Also just to clarify, the talairach function doesn't convert to Talairach coordinates or some average of MNI and Talairach, but rather MNI specifically, is that correct? Thank you, Serena *---* *Serena Tang* *UC Berkeley / UCSF joint Bioengineering PhD Program* *serenatang(a)berkeley.edu <serenatang(a)berkeley.edu> | (201)-238-9861*

Stimulated-echo diffusion-MRI dataset
by Aganj, Iman 24 Jan '26

24 Jan '26

Dear all, I am pleased to introduce a new public dataset of human brain stimulated-echo diffusion-MRI images, which we recently acquired with a long diffusion time of 1 second at the Martinos Center, Massachusetts General Hospital. The dataset contains images from 10 healthy volunteers and an ex vivo brain hemisphere. MPRAGE T1 and standard diffusion-MRI images are also included. Data repository: https://www.nitrc.org/projects/ste Article describing the dataset (see Section 2.4.2): http://doi.org/10.1002/mrm.70258 Best regards, Iman Aganj

Manual editing strategy for longitudinal pipeline (FS 8.0.0) following QC
by Keller, Lara 23 Jan '26

23 Jan '26

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer Community, We are currently processing volumetric data from a longitudinal study (adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa vs. healthy controls, 2–3 time points) using FreeSurfer 8.0.0 and the standard longitudinal pipeline (recon-all -long <tpNid> <templateid> -all). We performed Quality Control (QC) directly on the longitudinal outputs, rating the segmentation for each region individually. Based on this QC, we identified several areas requiring manual correction due to significant overestimation. (We are aware that manual corrections should be reserved for cases with substantial segmentation inaccuracies....) According to the FreeSurfer documentation, manual edits should ideally be performed on the cross-sectional runs and the base template rather than the longitudinal files themselves. Upon inspecting our data, we observed a few conflicting points: * Cross-sectional and base accuracy: In many cases, the segmentation in the cross-sectional outputs and the base images actually appears more accurate than in the longitudinal outputs, despite the perceived higher resolution of the latter. * Lack of "Edit-Trigger": So, in several instances, the specific areas we flagged as problematic in the longitudinal output look fine in both the cross-sectional images and the base template. If there is nothing to "fix" in the earlier stages, re-running the longitudinal pipeline is unlikely to change the erroneous longitudinal output. This leaves us with a methodological dilemma: Our current QC (identifying errors) is based on the longitudinal output. If we shift to editing cross-sectional images, we would essentially need to redo the QC for those runs, even though they already appear superior to the final product. What is the recommended procedure in this case? Should we proceed with manual edits directly on the longitudinal outputs despite the documentation’s warnings? Any insights or recommendations on the best practice for this scenario would be greatly appreciated. Furthermore, we are questioning whether the application of a longitudinal pipeline is appropriate for our specific study population. Our sample includes adolescents undergoing normative neurodevelopmental processes, alongside patients with Anorexia Nervosa who exhibit significant brain volume reductions (approximately 5%) in the acute stage, followed by substantial recovery at follow-up. We are concerned that these pronounced morphological changes and the resulting high variance could potentially bias the creation of the within-subject base template, possibly affecting the accuracy of the longitudinal registration. Best regards, Lara
