ROI from left to right hemi - cortical thickness
by Irene Altarelli 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Dear all, I have a ROI on the left hemisphere and I'd like to extract cortical thickness values from the homologous region in the right hemisphere. For this I applied the interhemispheric registration process and got my ROI mapped into the right hemisphere in /subject/xhemi/label. However when I tried to run mris_anatomical_stats on /subject/xhemi it failed, as there is no wm.mgz file in /subject/xhemi/mri. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Irene -- Irene Altarelli Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique Ecole Normale Supérieure 29, rue d'Ulm 75230 Paris Cedex 05 tel. +33 (0)1 44 32 26 23

mri_robust_template- Segmentation Fault
by Usman Khan 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hi there Freesurfer, I am running into a seg fault while running mri_robust_template on freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.1.0 on a Centos6.2 build. Thinking that this may perhaps be an OS-related issue, I tried to download FS binaries from http://www.freesurfer.net/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/linux-centos6_x86_64/ but the link is dead Any help would be appreciated Usman $Id: mri_robust_template.cpp,v 1.37 2011/03/02 00:04:24 nicks Exp $ --satit: Will estimate SAT iteratively! --mov: Using 191_0001.nii.gz as movable/source volume. --mov: Using 192_0001.nii.gz as movable/source volume.

Pial and WM boundary edits
by Skyler Gabriel Shollenbarger 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

To whom it may concern, After running autorecon2 (recon-all -subjid xxxxxxxx -autorecon2) there were areas that required correcting for both the pial and WM boundaries. I added control points to correct the WM boundaries and saved them using File > Save Control Points. I also used the select voxels tool to extend the boundaries in areas where the pial surface was not generous enough resulting in excluded GM and saved them using File > Save Volume. After adding these voxels and control points I ran (recon-all -autorecon-pial -subjid xxxxxxxx) however received an error that '-autorecon-pial' was not recognized. Then, in attempt to regenerate the boundaries with the new voxels and control points saved, I ran (recon-all -subjid xxxxxxxx -autorecon2-cp). When reloading the image to inspect the new boundaries using command (tkmedit xxxxxxxx brainmask.mgz -surfs -segmentation wm.mgz $FREESURFER_HOME/ASegStatsLUT.txt), I found that the errors were not fixed. If anyone has insight into what I'm doing incorrectly it would be much appreciated! Skyler -- Skyler G.

Recent paper on FreeSurfer reliability
by Ed Gronenschild 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Dear Bruce, Doug, Nick, and other co-workers, As authors of the recent paper “The effects of FreeSurfer version, workstation type, and Macintosh operating system version on anatomical volume and cortical thickness measurements” we would like to take the opportunity to respond to the numerous e-mails and reactions written on mailings lists and websites. We have never expected that our paper would have such an adverse impact. We have noticed that several so-called “journalists” have misinterpreted and erroneously extrapolated our conclusions. Even though this is not in our hands, we want to express our disappointment of these events and that we feel very uncomfortable with the created harassment. We want to stress that it has never been our intention to put FreeSurfer in a bad light or to blame its developers, rather we wanted to quantify the effects that you frequently warned the users about. The results of our study confirm your recommendations and increase the awareness of such effects to (novice) users. It is of course unavoidable that modifications to algorithms will produce different results; we, nevertheless, must admit that we were surprised that some effects were rather large. We are using FreeSurfer frequently for our MRI data and we definitely intend to do so in the future. We are impressed by the efforts of your team to improve the algorithms and to extend the capabilities of FreeSurfer. We are most grateful to you and the other developers because these continuing efforts enabled and will enable us to perform our research in a valid and proper manner. Unfortunately, the media attention gave the impression that our conclusions would only be directed to FreeSurfer. We have written in our discussion section that some of the conclusions may apply to other packages in the field of neuroimaging as well. We hope that you can acknowledge our sincere intention to examine and increase awareness of uncontrolled variation in MRI data analyses in general and not to pinpoint Freesurfer. Therefore, we have informed also the users and developers of FSL about possible similar effects.

Corrections in Skull Stripping lead to changes in aseg.stats - underlying reasons

28 Jun '12

Hello, After making some corrections to the skull stripping (by hand) and running recon-all I was really puzzled to notice that there had been changes in the aseg.stats. Here are the statistics: # Measure lhCortex, lhCortexVol, Left hemisphere cortical gray matter volume, 222913.677586, mm^3 # Measure rhCortex, rhCortexVol, Right hemisphere cortical gray matter volume, 223162.652586, mm^3 # Measure Cortex, CortexVol, Total cortical gray matter volume, 446076.330172, mm^3 # Measure lhCorticalWhiteMatter, lhCorticalWhiteMatterVol, Left hemisphere cortical white matter volume, 197877.640625, mm^3 # Measure rhCorticalWhiteMatter, rhCorticalWhiteMatterVol, Right hemisphere cortical white matter volume, 199335.750000, mm^3 # Measure CorticalWhiteMatter, CorticalWhiteMatterVol, Total cortical white matter volume, 397213.390625, mm^3 # Measure SubCortGray, SubCortGrayVol, Subcortical gray matter volume, 172184.000000, mm^3 # Measure TotalGray, TotalGrayVol, Total gray matter volume, 618260.330172, mm^3 # Measure SupraTentorial, SupraTentorialVol, Supratentorial volume, 976560.279689, mm^3 # Measure IntraCranialVol, ICV, Intracranial Volume, 1340641.214487, mm^3 ---------------------- # Measure lhCortex, lhCortexVol, Left hemisphere cortical gray matter volume, 221898.779029, mm^3 # Measure rhCortex, rhCortexVol, Right hemisphere cortical gray matter volume, 221558.440924, mm^3 # Measure Cortex, CortexVol, Total cortical gray matter volume, 443457.219953, mm^3 # Measure lhCorticalWhiteMatter, lhCorticalWhiteMatterVol, Left hemisphere cortical white matter volume, 196538.375000, mm^3 # Measure rhCorticalWhiteMatter, rhCorticalWhiteMatterVol, Right hemisphere cortical white matter volume, 199342.906250, mm^3 # Measure CorticalWhiteMatter, CorticalWhiteMatterVol, Total cortical white matter volume, 395881.281250, mm^3 # Measure SubCortGray, SubCortGrayVol, Subcortical gray matter volume, 172740.000000, mm^3 # Measure TotalGray, TotalGrayVol, Total gray matter volume, 616197.219953, mm^3 # Measure SupraTentorial, SupraTentorialVol, Supratentorial volume, 974785.433550, mm^3 # Measure IntraCranialVol, ICV, Intracranial Volume, 1340641.214487, mm^3 ---------------------- As you can see only the ICV stays the same but everything else changes: How can this be?

selxavg3-sess error
by Sam Cartmell 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hello, I'm trying to run selxavg3-sess with FS v4.5 for an FIR analysis where each trial is modeled as a separate condition. The command works smoothly for the majority of subjects, but for 2 different subjects, it exits with the following error: Saving X matrix to /home/sam/fMRIDATA/samstudies/SoCo/SoCo10/bold/Logit/Xtmp.mat XCond = 12220.6 (normalized) ERROR: design is ill-conditioned >> ------------------------------------------ ERROR: fast_selxavg3() failed\n details: I do not definite any contrasts, as I'm only running this command to generate trial specific betas for a separate analysis. Each trial lasts 18 seconds, followed by 4 seconds of fixation. Here is what part of a paradigm file looks like (the paradigm files are identical for all subjects): 4 1 18 1 22 0 4 1 26 2 18 1 44 0 4 1 48 3 18 1 66 0 4 1 70 4 18 1 88 0 4 1 92 5 18 1 110 0 4 1 114 6 18 1 132 0 4 1 136 7 18 1 154 0 4 1 here are the analysis.cfg and .info files: analysis analysis_name TR 2 fsd bold funcstem fmcsm4 tpexclude parname FIR_logit.par designtype event-related nconditions 96 -timewindow 20 -prestim 2 -acfbins 10 -fix-acf -noautostimdur -no-fsv3-st2fir -no-fsv3-whiten -polyfit 2 -TER 2 -nskip 0 -fwhm 0 -extreg mcextreg -nextreg 3 -rescale 1000 the command which throws the error: selxavg3-sess -analysis analysis_name -s subject_name The strange part for me is that this only seems to be a problem with a couple subjects, despite the fact all the paradigm files are identical. After looking through the mailing archive, I tried playing around with the prestim window, but even it if is = 0, there is 1 subject that exits with an error when I run selxavg3-sess. Do you know what might be going on? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Sam

DODS, DOSS, and interactions
by mdkruepke＠uwalumni.com 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Freesurfers- Question, when looking for interactions to justify using DOSS say i am looking at cortical thickness and i have two discrete variables (G1 and G2) and 4 continious variables (V1, V2, V3, V4). My thinking is that i should look to see if there are interactions with the groups and each individual variable. However what if it is likely that an interaction of G1, G2, and V1 can be explained by V2? Michael -- Michael D.
