recon-all error @ mris_volmask...

Hi, I am receiving this error for every subject I send through recon-all. I am checking for edits that need to be made but it seems very odd that 30 subjects or so would all error out at the same step. Any suggestions?

Aseg.stats file
by Jared Conley 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

FreeSurfer Community, Is there an easy, quick way to regenerate the aseg.stats file? This particular file was deleted accidentally for a few subjects and we wondered if we could quickly recreate this file without having to run recon-all again. All the other files in the subject directory are present. Thanks in advance, Jared

midline errors in pial and white matter boundary
by nima＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hi Guys, In few recons, I noitced that in the midline, pial and white matter boundaries are not the way they are supposed to be; i.e., they sometimes diverge toward the ventricles instead of following the midline and these divergences are not symmetrical either. I thought maybe I should add some cp...but that does not make sense because in actuality there is not white matter there as it is underneath the cortical gray matter... Any suggestion? The new version of the freesurfer fills the 3rd ventricle adjacent to the fornices. Should I leave the fornices in? or I should clean it up like old versions? ps. is there any way to add control points for pial surface? cheers nima

Creating average overlays for time-varying data (MEG)
by Pádraig Kitterick 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Dear list, I am trying to use freesurfer to visualise MEG data (minimum norm) overlayed on the cortical surface, both at an individual and group level. I have successfully processed all of the participants MRIs using recon-all, and have decimated the cortical surface (white) to compute the MEG solution. I would be grateful if anyone could help with the following issues I have run into: 1) I would like to know how to view the time-varying solution over the cortex using tksurfer. I have successfully exported the overlay for a single sample to a .w file (using matlab), and then smoothed it (mri_surf2surf) and viewed it on the cortical surface, which works great. But I am aware that .w format only supports a single 'frame' of data. Some previous posts on the list suggest that exporting the data in .mgh format as a nverts x 1 x 1 x nsamples volume would allow visualisation of the timecourse in tksurfer. My question is: is there a way to only write out the data for the vertices with values (i.e. left after decimation) when using the mgh format, and not a matrix of the total vertices in the original cortex? For example, if the surface has N vertices, and after decimation I have M vertices left, using the .w format I only need to write out data for the M vertices, along with a list of the vertex numbers to place them on the original surface. Can I do this with .mgh? It is difficult to get matlab to write out an mgh file with a 140000x1x1x500 volume! 2) I wish to view the average data across several subjects, mapped onto the fsaverage subject template. I have seen that mris_preproc can warp one or more overlays onto a single subject. My question is: will mris_preproc work with the type of .mgh files I described above, i.e. containing multiple frames of data overlay? Or am I better trying to do the whole operation with .w files, with one per timepoint?

recon-all times
by Thomas Doering 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Dear freesurfers, as a suggestion of Mishkin, i would like to expand the freesurfer wiki page and add some infos about typical reconstruction times of freesurfer. For this reason, i would like to ask everybody to write me a message including following informations of your computer: ex: CPU-MODEL: 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5355 CPU-FREQ: 2.66GHz RAM: 16GB FREESURFER-VERSION TIME: freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v4.0.1 TIME: 20.5 h Thanks in advance for your contribution, Thomas

mris_wm_volume
by Gallo, Antonio (NIH/NINDS) [F] 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hello All, We are trying to obtain an accurate measurement of the total WM volume (cerebral WM + WM hypointensities) in a group of patients with multiple sclerosis. As per Bruce's suggestion, we are using mris_wm_volume that should give more accurate measures than aseg.stats. When looking at our data we have noticed that within the WM surface (yellow line) there are many voxels labeled as ?h-Cerebral-Cortex, and some juxtacortical lesions labeled as None Upon manual editing of these mislabeled voxels on the aseg.mgz (i.e. relabeling them as WM), we have noticed that WM volume actually change. Since mris_wm_volume computes the WM volume using the WM surface and subtracting all non WM structures, we were wondering if there is any way to capture and correct for all these mislabeled voxels in a more automated manner (i.e. automatically considering them as WM instead of subtracting them from WM). In this way it should be possible to get more accurate measures of WM volumes as well as save a lot of time in manual editing. Thanks a lot in advance, Antonio Antonio Gallo, MD NIB-NINDS-NIH 10 Center Drive Building 10, Room 5C203B Bethesda, MD, 20892 - USA ph #: 001-301-496.7368 fax #: 001-301-402.0373 ***********************

CC q's
by Juranek, Jenifer 27 Jan '08

Hi, I'm running FSv4.0.1 on a 64bit linux platform and had a few questions about the new added feature wrt the corpus callosum segmentation added as early as v4.0.0...details were not readily returned in Wiki searches...so please point me in the correct direction? 1) The 5 separate regions of the CC...how are the boundaries determined? In equal subdivisions (20%) from the genu through the splenium? 2) Although the LUT.txt contains entries for the CC subdivisions, I have been unsuccessful with attempts to display either the aseg.auto_CCseg.mgz or wmparc.mgz files in tkmedit such that the boundaries between subdivisions are easy to visualize...do I need to modify the LUT.txt file with different entries in the last 4 columns than those already present to make it more obvious? EXAMPLE of current entries in LUT.txt... 251 CC_Posterior 0 0 64 0 252 CC_Mid_Posterior 0 0 112 0 253 CC_Central 0 0 160 0 254 CC_Mid_Anterior 0 0 208 0 255 CC_Anterior 0 0 255 0 3) The aseg.stats file contains data for each subdivision...do the values represent area (mm2)? On the midsagittal slice? Many Thanks for any info you can provide! Jenifer
