CSF volume
by Ed Gronenschild 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi, One of the volumes listed in the aseg.stats is called "CSF". Its volume is too small to indicate the total CSF volume of the brain. What is its meaning? If I would like to get the total CSF volume how should I proceed? Ed

preproc-sess failing
by Adam Nitenson 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hello freesurfers, I am trying to unpack a couple of recent subjects in Stable 4. I ran all steps through recon-all without error. However, when I try to run the next step, preproc-sess, it keeps failing. This is the command I enter: preproc-sess -s FB0011060AA -fwhm 5 It works for about 30 seconds, and then I get the following in return niiRead(): bad number of dimensions (0) in 013/tmp.mc-afni2.15211/outvol.nii.gz reading info from 013/f.nii... $Id: mri_convert.c,v 1.146.2.5 2009/04/08 18:40:23 nicks Exp $ reading from 013/tmp.mc-afni2.15211/outvol.nii.gz... ERROR: converting output Invalid null command. ERROR: mc-sess failed the error for the other subject was slightly different: niiRead(): error reading from 013/tmp.mc-afni2.15452/outvol.nii.gz reading info from 012/f.nii... $Id: mri_convert.c,v 1.146.2.5 2009/04/08 18:40:23 nicks Exp $ reading from 013/tmp.mc-afni2.15452/outvol.nii.gz... ERROR: Read 14, expected 64 ERROR: converting output Invalid null command. ERROR: mc-sess failed Any idea what might be going on? I've done these same steps many times for processing data and have not before received this error. Thanks! Adam Nitenson, B.S. Brain Genomics Lab Massachusetts General Hospital

Mri_label2label problem?
by Pye, Brandon (NIH/NIMH) [F] 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hey guys, We are using mri_label2label to convert a label created from a cluster (using mri_surfcluster) from an average subject to each individual subject. We have 6 individual labels that we are converting. All of the analysis is done using surface data. I use the command in the generalized form listed below: Mri_label2label -srcsubject fsaverage -srclabel cluster1.label -trg subject Subject -trglabel Subject_cluster1.label -regmethod surface -hemi lh 5 of the 6 labels transfer well, but a 6th label translated to the correct anatomical location, but the number of labeled vertices is greatly reduced after the translation. This problem persists across all subjects. There doesn't appear to be much interior to the label, just a lot of the outline of the label (i.e. If the outline of the label is yellow and the interior is blue, I see a lot of yellow and not much blue, as if there are a bunch of small "islands"). The region on them most inferior part of the lateral surface approximately where the temporal and occipital lobes meet. Any ideas what might be going on?

sample data discrepancies
by Katie Mahon 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi Experts, I am extremely new to Freesurfer and I have a basic question that I didn't see answered in the archives (but it is very likely I missed it!). I downloaded the sample data (buckner_data) and ran the orig.mgz files through all of the steps so that I could compare my 'stats' values with those given in the sample data . The values I get for the segmentation volumes are different from those in the sample data files- why is this? They are not wildly different, just off a bit for each case. Thanks very much, Katie

convert 4d volume time series to GIFTI surface time series
by Hansen, Kathleen (NIH/NIMH) [F] 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Dear all, Any help that you could give on this pretty basic question would be much appreciated. I've been trying to use the excellent fmri-to-anatomical registration produced by Freesurfer's bbregister to convert a 4d volume time series to a GIFTI surface time series. So far, I have tried using mri_vol2surf and mris_convert as below, with no success. In this example, the dataset volume_time_series.nii is of size 64x64x37x96, where 96 is the number of time points. I would really appreciate it if anyone spots and would correct the usage error(s) that I must have made. ?? Thank you, Kathleen mri_vol2surf --mov volume_time_series.nii --reg good_registration.dat --hemi lh --o surface_time_series_lh.mgh --projfrac 0.5 --interp nearest srcvol = volume_time_series.nii srcreg = good_registration.dat srcregold = 0 srcwarp unspecified surf = white hemi = lh ProjFrac = 0.5 thickness = thickness interp = nearest float2int = round GetProjMax = 0 INFO: float2int code = 0 INFO: changing type to float Done loading volume Reading surface /nfs/data17/hansenka/ntopy/surf/D/D06/surf/lh.white Done reading source surface Reading thickness /nfs/data17/hansenka/ntopy/surf/D/D06/surf/lh.thickness Done Mapping Source Volume onto Source Subject Surface 1 0.5 0.5 0.5 Done mapping volume to surface Number of source voxels hit = 11133 Reshaping 19 (nvertices = 137275) Writing to surface_time_series_lh.mgh Dim: 7225 1 19 mris_convert surface_time_series_lh.mgh surface_time_series_lh.gii ERROR: MRISread: file 'surface_time_series_lh.mgh' has 0 vertices!

lh.thickness.fsaverage
by Siti Hajar 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

When I run recon all for my subject, I couldn't open lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh (/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/.../surf/lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh.) I need to use that information to obtain the cortical thickness.Is it because the new updated freesurfer or it might come from other source of problem? Thank you...

Generating a 'non-zero' group mask
by Marco Loggia, PhD 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Dear all, I am performing surface analyses on ASL CBF maps. As these maps do not cover the whole brain, and some masks have larger brain coverage than others, I would need to create a binary surface mask (in the fsaverage space) which would zero out the vertices where at least one of my subjects have a zero value. This map would then be used to spatially limit my statistical analyses in mri_glmfit. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot, Marco _____________________ Marco L.
