Hi Freesurfer experts, i want to know how to make different subjects'(suppose I have 10 subjects) lh.thickness.fsaverge.mgh (1*163842) into one mgh file(10*163842)? Thanks! LJ

Hi, I have a relatively old version of Freesurfer, and I'm not sure how to get the version number. Could anyone please advise? It's from back in the day when we used csurf. Best, Matt Matthew J.

Hi all! I have some problems to visualize surfaces by tksurfer. When I try to load a surface with the command tksurfer my_subj_name lh inflated I receive the following error: ERROR: could not read header info from T1 or orig in homes/..../my_subj_name/mri The SUBJECTS_DIR is the correct one and in my mri folder there are both T1.mgz and orig.mgz. Any suggestion? Could the headers of those files be corrupted? How can I check it? Thanks in advance for any help! Maria

talairach to native space
by Tina Jeon 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hello freesurfers, I am trying to align my T1W image in native space to the surface files (?h.pial, ?h.white, ?h.inflated, ?h.base) but it seems that they do no align perfectly. I thought the labeling information is in native space? However this does not seem to be the case because in the ascii files for the surfaces we found -120 in the coordinates but native space is [0,240] (i.e., without negatives). Is using tkregister2 the solution? Or using an affine registration matrix to transform the coordinates? Thanks in advance. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Tina Jeon

Re: [Freesurfer] Subcortical segmentation
by Allison Stevens 13 May '10

13 May '10

If you want to use the subcortical volume measures, you defnitely want to make sure they are accurately following the intensity boundaries of the structures. That wiki page is a little misleading in that sense (I'll work on updating it). When I'm checking a recon for the other potential problems listed there (skull strip issues, wm segmentation problems, pial edits, etc.), that's when I also check the accuracy of the aseg (although I rarely find any problems).

Hello All, I have a very simple qdec question. I have three groups (relatively age and sex matched), each grp has 8 subjects. I have created a qdec.table.dat file with contents as follows SUBJECT_DIR /jet/rito/freesurfer_data/ fsid gender age diagnosis 01 Female 40 Group1 02 Female 32 Group1 03 Female 41 Group1 04 Female 33 Group1 05 Female 36 Group1 06 Female 37 Group1 07 Male 49 Group1 08 Male 46 Group1 09 Male 37 Group2 10 Female 38 Group2 11 Male 38 Group2 12 Female 32 Group2 13 Female 32 Group2 14 Female 45 Group2 15 Female 31 Group2 16 Female 45 Group2 17 Female 32 Group3 18 Female 40 Group3 19 Male 45 Group3 20 Female 32 Group3 21 Male 31 Group3 22 Female 30 Group3 23 Female 32 Group3 24 Female 36 Group3 I have also created two discrete factors.level files, gender.level Female Male diagnosis.level Group1 Group2 Group3 When I try to load the qdec.table.dat file, I get an error - /jet/rito/freesurfer_data/qdec$ Loading data table qdec.table.dat...

Subcortical segmentation
by Martin Ystad 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hi, I noticed that routinely checking the subcortical segmentation (aseg.mgz) is not part of the Recommended Reconstruction Work Flow. Is this because the subcortical segmentation is highly accurate, or because manual intervention in the aseg is not recommended anyway? Thanks, Martin Ystad PhD-student University of Bergen, Norway
