How to verify that cortical surface orientation volume w/ respect to b0 is accurate?
by Bansal, Krishan Chandra 28 Sep '22

28 Sep '22

External Email - Use Caution I have created a volume which is supposed to have the cortical surface orientation with respect to b0 at each voxel. To do this I got the 6 frame overlay file from mris_convert. Then I isolated the first 3 values from each row in Matlab to create an Nx3 matrix, then from this I calculated the angle between each row vector and the b0 vector (which was just [0 1 0]) using the usual angle between two vectors formula. The result was an Nx1 matrix.I then saved it as an .mgh surface file (using save_mgh) and projected it back onto the original volume using surf2vol. I believe that I did this correctly, however the professor that I am developing this method for told me he wants me to verify that the results are correct. He was not very specific in how to do this, all he told me was that I could use volumes of the individual scanner x,y,z angles to help me figure out if my b0 results are right. What I assume he meant is: since the b0 axis goes vertically down the middle of the brain when in coronal view I can tell if the b0 angles are correct by seeing where the cortical surface is with respect to the z scanner direction and seeing if the b0 angle at the corresponding location makes sense. My problem is that I can’t tell if my results make sense. In theory I believe that at the locations where the cortex appears to be orthogonal to the B0 (z scanner) axis, the overall B0 angle of the cortical surface should be closer to 90 degrees. I still don’t understand what pattern I should be seeing in the values of the z scanner volume compared to the b0 angles volume. Comparing my z scanner volume results to the B0 angle volume the only pattern I can see is that the cortical surface with respect to B0 is closer to 90 degrees when the z scanner volume is closer to 0 degrees. No B0 angle I got is actually greater than 89 though. I can’t tell if this is the right pattern or enough to verify the results in the way the professor I’m working for wants. Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated. So far I have been able to get pretty far in teaching myself Freesurfer, but the some of the underlying mathematics about how to verify my results are unclear. I can send pictures of my results if someone wants to look at them.

issue with mris_ca_label and mrisReadTriangleFile
by Caspar Schwiedrzik 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

External Email - Use Caution Hi! I am having issue with mris_ca_label while trying to apply the Yeo 2011 atlas to single subject surfaces. Specifically, I am getting "surface doesn't match" from mrisReadTriangleFile and "could not read spherical coordinate system" from mris_ca_label. lh.smoothwm and lh.sphere.reg both exist in the specified places. It does not matter from where I run the below command. I also tried adding -sdir, which did not change anything. It happens with v5.3 and v7. I have seen a couple of bug reports on this specific error, but no solution other than re-running recon all, which is not an option in my case. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

SAMSEG longitudinal sbTIV bigger than cross-sectional
by Nederpelt, D.R. van (David) 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

External Email - Use Caution Dear SAMSEG developers, We have a dataset with 55 subjects (MS patients and controls) scanned on three timepoints with yearly intervals. When we ran the (SAMSEG) longitudinal pipeline we noticed that the sbTIV always had an increased volume (between 0.5 and 3.5% larger) compared to the sbTIV computed cross-sectionally. Do you have any idea how and why we may see these effects? Thank you in advance!

PETSurfer tutorial images?

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer/PETSurfer experts, I am beginning to explore the functionality of PETSurfer, and in the Wiki there is reference to a set of 18 folders (" called s01, s02, etc"), and I am wondering if that dataset is publicly available (and if so, where?). I am particularly interested in an example of the format/layout of the file: "frame.time.dat -- text file indicating the time at which each frame was acquired." In order to test my syntax, it would be very useful to have a set of explicit volumes and text files. Sincerely, -Randy
