Problem with visualising hippocampal subfield segmentation
by Ed Gronenschild 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hi, I followed the instructions to visualize the hippocampal subfield segmentation by entering the command (in the subject's mri directory) freeview nu.mgz \ > -p-labels posterior_left_* posterior_Left-Hippocampus.mgz \ > -p-labels posterior_right_* posterior_Right-Hippocampus.mgz \ > -p-prefix posterior_ -p-lut $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt and got the following messages: 2012-03-27 11:54:37.043 freeview.bin[34414:907] invalid drawable 2012-03-27 11:54:37.083 freeview.bin[34414:907] invalid drawable 2012-03-27 11:54:37.154 freeview.bin[34414:907] invalid drawable 2012-03-27 11:54:37.156 freeview.bin[34414:907] invalid drawable 2012-03-27 11:54:37.168 freeview.bin[34414:907] invalid drawable 2012-03-27 11:54:37.170 freeview.bin[34414:907] invalid drawable 2012-03-27 11:54:37.182 freeview.bin[34414:907] invalid drawable 2012-03-27 11:54:37.184 freeview.bin[34414:907] invalid drawable QObject::connect: Connecting from QAbstractButton::toggled(bool) to COMPAT slot (QGroupBox::setShown(bool)) QObject::connect: Connecting from QAbstractButton::toggled(bool) to COMPAT slot (QGroupBox::setShown(bool)) CTABrgbAtIndexi: index -1 was OOB CTABrgbAtIndexi: index -1 was OOB Can not find index for color name left_CA2-3 CTABrgbAtIndexi: index -1 was OOB CTABrgbAtIndexi: index -1 was OOB CTABrgbAtIndexi: index -1 was OOB Can not find index for color name right_CA2-3 CTABrgbAtIndexi: index -1 was OOB Nothing was shown on top of nu.mgz.

mri_label2vol enquiry
by Johnson 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi Can anyone tell me please how mri_label2vol works, I know what it does, but I need to know how it works to take the FS space to the original anatomy space: does it do registration or does it use a transformation matrix. If the latest which one, where can I find it? regards -- Johnson J.

Mapping pf fsaverage surface to native volume
by René Besseling 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Dear Freesurfer users, I've been trying to map a Qdec contrast sig.mgh to the native volume of a subject using mri_surf2surf (to get from Qdec fsaverage surface to native surface) and mri_surf2vol (to map from native surface to native volume cortical ribbon). However, the last step goes wrong: I get a nii with the same range of values as were in the surface, but the nonzero voxels are scattered all over, so I guess there is something wrong with the surface-to-voxel coordinate mapping. Below is my code, any ideas on what goes wrong? Best regards, Rene mri_surf2surf --hemi rh --srcsubject fsaverage --noreshape --sval sig.mgh --trgsubject subj01 --tval sig_2subj01.mgh mri_surf2vol --surfval sig_2subj01.mgh --hemi rh --fillribbon --identity sub01 --template subj01/mri/orig.mgz --o sig_2subj01_volumetric.nii

Questions about recon-all process flow in build 5.0.0
by Winter, Warren 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi, I have a few questions about the process flow for the last stable build (5.0.0). After looking over http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/recon-all , https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReconAllDevTable , and http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/OtherUsefulFlags , it looks like there's some inconsistency in the info on these pages that's left me a bit confused about what processing steps are and aren't invoked by autorecon2-wm, and autorecon-pial. On the 'Other Useful Flags' page, it looks as though autorecon2-wm doesn't invoke maskbfs / mri_mask, but on the recon-all page as well as in the mailing list archives it's said that autorecon2-wm runs processes both prior to autorecon2-pial and including the processes called on by autorecon2-pial. (By the way, is autorecon-pial a separate command from autorecon2-pial? Is the only difference that the former runs all the autorecon3 steps whereas the latter ends at the last step of autorecon2?) If autorecon2-wm doesn't run maskbfs / mri_mask, then wouldn't a subject who has both had pial edits done to their brainmask.mgz and wm edits done to their wm.mgz end up generating parcellation stats that don't reflect the pial edits? If that's the case, then would adding a -maskbfs flag before autorecon2-wm and -autorecon3 solve the problem? And autorecon2-cp starts with -normalization2, right? On the http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/RecommendedReconstruction page it says that it starts running at -normalization, which would be far earlier in the pipeline. Finally, should one always wait to make pial edits or WM edits after adding control points and reprocessing from autorecon2-cp? It looks to me as though throwing control points and WM edits and/or pial edits simultaneously at a reprocessing stream wouldn't pose any problems for the file dependencies, but that you might be able to do better pial and/or WM edits after seeing the newly generated surfaces and the newly segmented wm.mgz after recon-all has incorporated the control points. Thanks so much for your help!

hippocampal segmentation
by Rashmi Singh 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hello, I converted the aseg. mgz files to nii format and created a hippcampal mask with 3dcalc. Using AFNI I opened the hippocampal mask as overlay on the brainmask .nii image as underlay. For some subjects the hippocampus is not at the correct position. Please advise.

temporal pole
by Righart, Ruthger Dr. 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Dear Freesurfer experts, I have a problem of cortical segmentation of the temporal pole (see attached image), while the rest of the cortex segmentation is fine. This problem can probably not be solved by using control points as the intensity values of the white-matter (T1.mgz value) seem very low in this area (i.e., <100). Is there another way to solve this problem? Suggestions are very much appreciated! Ruthger Righart

roi-to-roi functional connectivity analysis
by Lingqiang Kong 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi Surfers, Sorry this is the same question again, but has anyone tried ROI-to-ROI functional connectivity analysis in Freesurfer? Instead of computing seed-to-voxel correlation map for the whole brain, is there a way to compute the correlation between the average time course of two ROIs? One way I presume can work is to take the average time courses generated from the fcseed-sess of each ROI and do it manually for each ROI pair. For example, just compute the correlation coefficient between "lh.hippo.dat" and "rh.hippo.dat". But does that regress out the white matter and ventricles? Is there a way to do this properly? What should go to the mkanalysis-sess in this case? Thank you for your help.
