mri_surf2surf ico to ico
by Don Hagler 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I am trying to use mri_surf2surf to resample surface data in mgh format from ico4 to ico3. There is an apparent bug, however, in that the output file has the same dimensions as the input file despite srcicoorder = 4 and trgicoorder = 3. I am using ico for both srcsubject and trgsubject. This problem occurs in versions 4.5.0 and 5.1.0 (and presumably other versions as well). I have the same problem when trying to go from ico4 to ico7. command line: mri_surf2surf --srcsubject ico --trgsubject ico --srcicoorder 4 --trgicoorder 3 --sval dSPM_cond17-lh.mgh --tval dSPM_cond17_ico3-lh.mgh --hemi lh output: srcsubject = ico srcval = dSPM_cond17-lh.mgh srctype = trgsubject = ico trgval = dSPM_cond17_ico3-lh.mgh trgtype = srcsurfreg = sphere.reg trgsurfreg = sphere.reg srchemi = lh trghemi = lh frame = 0 fwhm-in = 0 fwhm-out = 0 label-src = (null) label-trg = (null) Reading icosahedron /usr/pubsw/packages/freesurfer/RH4-x86_64-R450/lib/bem/ic4.tri Source Ico Order = 4 Loading source data INFO: trgsubject = srcsubject Saving target data A work-around is to specify the trgsubject as an "average" subject in the desired (e.g. ico 3) resolution.

Motion in anatomical images
by Cynthia Elisabeth Krafft 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Hello, I am wondering whether there is any way to compensate for motion in anatomical images (for the purposes of salvaging data for cortical thickness analysis)? If not, is there a general rule of thumb or some way to tell how much motion is too much for this type of analysis? Or is it more of a matter of reconstructing the images and seeing whether the surfaces look good? Thanks! Cindy Krafft

read_fscolorlut
by Don Hagler 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

FYI, in version 5.1.0, FreeSurferColorLUT.txt has a space (" ") instead of an empty line at line 1189. This causes the matlab funciton read_fscolorlut to throw an error. An easy fix is to change this line: if(~isempty(tline) & tline(1) ~= '#') break; end to this: if(~isempty(deblank(tline)) & tline(1) ~= '#') break; end

Please see the attached poster from last year that plots total number of hippocampal interneurons along the anterior-posterior axis of the human hippocampus. We have similar data for pyramidal cells and subsector volume. The bottom line: CA 1 is the largest sector in the uncus, but about 40% of the uncus is NOT CA1. It seems to me that the neuroimaging community is waking up and realizing that subfield anatomy of the hippocapmus varies quite a bit along the anterior-posterior axis. We have many whole human hippocampal specimens and have quite a bit of data on the subfields. We might have to publish this now ... Stephan --- Stephan Heckers, MD William P. and Henry B.

Hippocampal Sub field segmentation
by Alan Francis 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Hi Koen and FreeSurfers: I have a 3T dataset that has undergone processing using 5.1. I have also run the Hippo sub fields command. Here are my results: [root@NeuroImage-Gamma mri]# kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages $FREESURFER_HOME/data/GEMS/compressionLookupTable.txt posterior_right_* posterior_Right-Hippocampus.mgz volumeInVoxels: right_CA1: 2473.34 right_CA2-3: 7530.08 right_CA4-DG: 4160.99 right_fimbria: 520.14 right_hippocampal_fissure: 376.772 right_presubiculum: 2780.65 right_subiculum: 4230.04 Right-Hippocampus: 2277.69 My question is : Since these are "subfields" of the Hippocampus, should not the sum of all subregions be equal the volume of the Right Hippocampus? Thanks so much! Alan Francis Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, BOSTON

trouble with kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages
by Marie Schaer 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi all, I just ran the hippo-subfield segmentation on a batch of subjects. Everything went perfect for most of my subjects, however I got an outlier in the left CA1 for one subject who had a very large volume. After checking the results in freeview for this subject, I saw that the problem was that CA1 was including a big portion of white matter in its volume (see attached png). To try to solve the problem, I just reran the recon-all -hippo-subfield for the left hemisphere of this subject (which by the way did not solve the white matter inclusion). The problem I have now is that kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages does not seem to "see" anymore the resulting volume on the left side and does not output any volume for the left side (see error below), although the output was properly created in the mri folder (i.e. all the posterior_left_* images are there and I can load them in freeview without any problem). Any guess? Many thanks for the help, Marie [maries-iMac:LONGITUDINAL_Stats/5272/mri] marie% kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages $FREESURFER_HOME/data/GEMS/compressionLookupTable.txt posterior_left_* volumeInVoxels: [maries-iMac:LONGITUDINAL_Stats/5272/mri] marie% kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages $FREESURFER_HOME/data/GEMS/compressionLookupTable.txt posterior_right_* volumeInVoxels: right_CA1: 3050.22 right_CA2-3: 8579.62 right_CA4-DG: 4997.83 right_fimbria: 354.868 right_hippocampal_fissure: 302.39 right_presubiculum: 3784.79 right_subiculum: 5384.07 [maries-iMac:LONGITUDINAL_Stats/5272/mri] marie%

Oops. Sorry Andrew, that is a script that I think just takes some lines from the recon-all script.

Re: [Freesurfer] dt_recon registration
by Antonella Kis 15 Nov '11

Dear Lilla, Thank you very much for your valuable help. I still have few more questions and I will appreciate if you can further help me. 1) Why I don't have in my $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects the cvs_avg35/mri/norm.mgz? In my subjects directory I only have my subjects and nothing else. How can I get the cvs_avg35/mri/norm.mgz? 2) Do you believe that for my subjects-all children ages 6-13 the results are gone be OK if I use the talairach registration and re-sampling? As I mentioned in my previous email I would like to do a two-group study similar with TBSS so to do a statistical analysis on the FA and non_FA data such as mean diffusivity, to see if there are any clusters that may survive by multiple comparisons without any covariant. 3) Do you have any suggestion regarding which registration is better to be used for this study? 4) How I can check for each individual subject if the registration worked out well if for example I choose the talairach space? Do I run: tkregister2 --mov lowb.nii --reg register.dat --surf or which file is in fact the registered data file? Is the fa-tal.nii.gz or the lowb.nii.gz? You mentioned that the default registration is on talairch space and the I see on dt_recon tutorial that is also doing a registration of lowb to same-subject anatomical so I have two registration done when I run the dt_recon? Sorry I am very confused and I will very grateful if you can make this a little clear for me. Many thanks for your time and help.

Freesurfer on Windows!
by m.muthuraman＠neurologie.uni-kiel.de 14 Nov '11

Hello Friends, I am a newcomer to freesurfer and wanted to use it in windows. I downloaded as instructed the freesurfer-Virtualbox-linux-x86-stable-pub-v5.1.0-full.vdi-for windows the virtual box version is 4.1.6 and installed with the required settings as mentioned in your website. I tried it in two systems one with a windows xp, 4 GB RAM, Intel Core Quad CPU, 2,40 GhZ, 64 bit system and the other system Windows 7, Intel Xeon 2.53 Ghz(2 processors), 24 Gb RAM, 64 bit system In both the sytems i was able to configure the virtual box for the xubuntu linux but it starts and progress bar in the middle and then the application closes without any errors. Is this a known problem? Am i missing something? Thanking you With regards Dr.-Ing M.Muthuraman Klinik für Neurology Schittenhelmstrasse 10 Kiel-24105 Germany.
