Hi Bruce, subject's folder is empty, there is no scripts folder, or anything else. Again if I omit -expert everything works fine.

expert option error in recon-all
by james pardon 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Dear all, I'm trying to pass the following flags for mri_normalize through -expert flag in recon-all, with a file, named expert.opts with the following single line: mri_normalize -b 20 -n 5 my command line is: recon-all -i inputfile -subject subname -all -expert <pathname>/expert.opts I receive the following error: cp: cannot create regular file: '/home/dir/subject/subname/scripts/expert-options' The directory of the subject has been created, but it is completely empty. At first glance I thought it might be some sort of permission problems, however I have rwx permission for all the paths (even running under the root username the same error comes up). Secondly, I checked my disk quota, it is completely fine. Please note that, if I do not pass -expert flag recon-all works completely fine. Any input is much appreciated. Regards, James

Lesion segmentation
by Hunold, Alexander 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Dear Experts, >From my understanding, the segmentation of lesions within the brain tissue is none of your main interests. However earlier threads indicated that there are some tools related to FreeSurfer which could help with such a task. Precisely, I am looking for a way to segment the surface of a lesion in a T1 dataset. I am not afraid of doing the segmentation manually (only 2 participants), but I would prefer receiving an output in FreeSurfer surface format which is coregistered with the regular output, e.g. lh.white, rh.pial, etc. Can you point me to a procedure within FreeSurfer or to a tool associated to FreeSurfer, to fulfill this task? Any hint is appreciated very much. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards, Alexander Hunold

FreeSurfer with pediatric brain tumors?
by Jesse Bledsoe 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hello FS experts, I am wondering if anyone has experience using FreeSurfer or other program to analyze cortical thickness and subcortical volumes in children with pediatric brain tumors? Will adding control points in tumor regions be an adequate intervention for the topological defects? Thought I'd ask for advice before taking the plunge. Best regards, Jesse

subcortical gray matter volumes
by Fred Sanders 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi All, Two questions: 1. I am interested in subcortical gray matter volumes such as hippocampus, amygdala, & basal ganglia. Can someone recommend some good references looking at the accuracy of Freesurfer relative to the "gold standard" approach of hand-tracing these structures? 2. Most of the problems that require quality checks for Freesurfer relate to defining the cortical surface and the grey-white boundary. As far as I can tell, there is rarely a need to edit Freesurfer's definitions of subcortical gray. Am I correct in this? Thanks! Fred

Longitudinal cortical thickness analysis
by Rajagopalan, Venkateswaran 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Dear All, I ran the following steps in a patient of mine at two time points nonhyper_24_06 and nonhyper_24_07 recon-all -autorecon1 -subjid nonhyper_24_06 recon-all -autorecon1 -subjid nonhyper_24_07 recon-all -autorecon2 -subjid nonhyper_24_06 recon-all -autorecon3 -subjid nonhyper_24_06 recon-all -autorecon2 -subjid nonhyper_24_07 recon-all -autorecon3 -subjid nonhyper_24_07 # template creation recon-all -base nonhyper_24_templ -tp nonhyper_24_06 -tp nonhyper_24_07 -all recon-all -long nonhyper_24_06 nonhyper_24_templ -all recon-all -long nonhyper_24_07 nonhyper_24_templ -all When I tried to inspect my longitudinal result using freeview -v nonhyper_24_06.long.nonhyper_24_templ/mri/norm.mgz \ nonhyper_24_07.long.nonhyper_24_templ/mri/norm.mgz \ -f nonhyper_24_06.long.nonhyper_24_templ/surf/lh.pial:edgecolor=red \ nonhyper_24_06.long.nonhyper_24_templ/surf/lh.white:edgecolor=blue \ nonhyper_24_07.long.nonhyper_24_templ/surf/lh.pial:edgecolor=255,128,128 \ nonhyper_24_07.long.nonhyper_24_templ/surf/lh.white:edgecolor=lightblue My norm images from two time points doesn't overlap (so does the pial and white surfaces from two points they appear on two distinct places on the freeview instead of being overlaped as shown in tutorial) when I load then it looks like there is some registration problem. I don't know where I made a mistake and how to correct for this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, I am trying to do cortical thickness analysis on a single subject's longitudinal data. I am attaching the design and group.diff.mtx could any one tell me whether they are correct. Any web link (tutorial) on how to do stats on longitudinal data available.

(no subject)
by Hugh Pemberton 01 Aug '12

Hi, So when using command tkmedit *subjID* brainmask.mgz -aux -wm.mgz -surfs I receive the message: "Error: Parsing -aux option Expected an argument This option needs an argument: the image type, directory, or file name of the data to load as the aux volume." My apologies if there is an obvious answer but I can't see what is wrong (there are wm.mgz files in all subject directories), plus there doesn't seem to be anything missing as a result of this error message. Cheers for your help, Best, Hugh

DODS Overlay
by Ian Carroll 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hello, If I were to run a DODS -- say, an F-test looking for group differences and interactions in thickness among drug users vs non- users, dependents vs abusers, and drug use in the last month vs no use in the last month -- how would I visualize the results? I assume there's no intelligible way to make an overlay out of interactions, unless you look at the F-test output one contrast at a time (e.g., what areas show a significant interaction in thickness between dependents vs abusers and use in the last month?). Take care, Ian Carroll
