Tracula and number of fibres per voxel
by Jürgen Hänggi 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Dear Tracula experts Is it possible to change the number of fibres per voxel in bedpostx (from 2 to 3) within the trac-all command? I did not see any option for that. Thanks in advance Cheers Jürgen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jürgen Hänggi, Ph.D. Division Neuropsychology Institute of Psychology University of Zurich Binzmuehlestrasse 14, PO Box 25 8050 Zurich, Switzerland 0041 44 635 73 97 (phone office) 0041 76 445 86 84 (phone mobile) 0041 44 635 74 09 (fax office) BIN 4.D.04 (office room number) j.haenggi[at]psychologie.uzh.ch (email) http://www.psychologie.uzh.ch/neuropsy/ (website) http://www.juergenhaenggi.ch (private website) This e-mail (and any attachment/s) contains confidential and/or privileged information.

Error with mri_preproc
by Antonella Kis 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Dear freesurfers, I am trying to see what are the group differences in cortical thickness of patients with right and left FLE compared to controls using the GLM. I created a txt file in gedit called my_age_fsgd.txt (please see the attachment) containing my subjects (patients and controls) and their age. I am not interested in doing a study versus gender just versus age. Following the instructions from the tutorial I was running the mri_preproc: mris_preproc --fsgd my_age_fsgd.txt \ --target fsaverage \ --hemi lh \ --meas thickness \ --out lh.gender_age.thickness.mgh but I got an error: ERROR: no subjects specified. Also, what should be my contrast vector if I am not interested in considering the gender. I found in one tutorial that I should create age.mat if it does not exist and it should contain this line: 0 0 1 Why this numbers? Can anyone give a hint please in how to eliminate my error and how to create the contrast vector in order to take in consideration only my subject's age? Many thanks, Antonella

Longitudinal Subject/Base name errors
by Jeff Sadino 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hello Experts, I am using fs 5.0.0. My naming convention is similar to 100001_S01 and 100001_S02 for subject, and then 100001 for the base. Now when I process the runs longitudinally, I get: ERROR: longitudinal base ID cannot be the same as a timepoint. I believe this is because of line 4845 in recon-all: grep $longbaseid ${longbasedir}/${BaseSubjsListFname} >& /dev/null. I can just as easily cut out this part of the code, or I could manipulate the base-tps file, or rename the base folder. But I do not know if there are other spots in the code that rely on the original naming conventions. Can anyone recommend one approach over the other? Thank you very much, Jeff Sadino

mri_glmfit with diffusion data
by Lilla Zollei 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hi, I have some diffusion scans acquired at the Childrens and when running mri_glmfit on them to reconstrct the tensors, I get the following error. "ERROR: cannot extract sDiffusion.alBValue[1] from dwi-infodump.dat" I checked the dump file and there is a field sDiffusion.alBValue[0]. Does that contain the same information? If I modify my local version of the code to read that value in, then the error message is about "ERROR: cannot extract sWiPMemBlock.alFree[8] from dwi-infodump.dat" I am not really sure how to find the correct value for that as there is nothing similar to it in the dump file. Any ideas?

Re: [Freesurfer] FreeSurfer result wrong without error during process

Hi all, I have a case whose resulting wmparc.mgz is completely misaligned from the brain, and is much smaller than it should be. The case ran fine, however, and I received no error messages at any point. Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: [Freesurfer] Label2label on fsaverage
by Rouhollah Abdollahi 12 Aug '11

Dear Bruce, I have two questions. I saw there are a lot of algorithms for mris_register. Which one are more precise and has less distortion on sulci pattern? In initial alignment if I want to rotate the surface with -rotate [ alpha is (ear to ear) beta(Back to nose) ... ]. Am I right?. and if I want that mris_register does not apply any rigid alignment after initial rotation what I have to do?

Hi Rouhi it's hard to tell from looking at the sphere.reg by itself. In general though if the parcellations are correct then the registration must be pretty good. cheers Bruce On Thu, 11 Aug 2011, Rouhollah Abdollahi wrote: > Dear Bruce > I checked the parcellation and look quiet OK.

Flipping analyze images
by Catherine Wan 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Dear List, I have a question regarding using .img in Freesurfer. We only have analyze images, but we can tell the orientation of the images through the patient's lesion location. Because freesurfer sometimes flips these image after recon-all, I'm now flipping the "problematic" ones using mri_convert <input> --out_orientation RAS <output> before running them again. Could someone please explain why if we use analyze images, some of them would be flipped by Freesurfer but not others? Does that only apply to lesioned/patient brains and not normal brains? Many thanks! Catherine

To whom it may concern, I am having trouble running recon-all. I keep getting an error that nu_correct is not found. 'which nu_correct' return nothing. Here is the information: bugr output: FREESURFER_HOME: /home/mogul/freesurfer Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.1.0 Debian version: squeeze/sid Kernel info: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64 which recon-all /home/mogul/freesurfer/bin/recon-all Current working directory is ~ (/home/mogul) - aka root Command line ran: recon-all -s bert -autorecon1 Main error message received is: nu_correct: Command not found. ERROR: nu_correct recon-all.log file attached for additional information. I even uninstalled freesurfer and re-installed it with the same problem. Any help you could offer would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. ---Todd Krieg tkrieg(a)hawk.iit.edu
