mri_convert problem?
by Daniel Goldman 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

I've been getting this error message whenever I try to convert to .mgz format: ---------------------------------------- mri_convert /space/windu/4/users/recon/GORG25_recon/mri/32echo/magnitude/parameter_maps_average/average_bet.img /space/windu/4/users/recon/GORG25_recon/mri/32echo/magnitude/parameter_maps_average/T2star.mgz reading from /space/windu/4/users/recon/GORG25_recon/mri/32echo/magnitude/parameter_maps_average/average_bet.img...

Thanks, - Daniel

Normalization problem
by Martin Ystad 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

I'm working on the latest developmental release for Rh. 9. and I'm having problems with the normalization procedures on my datasets. My datasets have large intensity inhomogeneities due to their acquisition with a surface coil (8-ch. GE). To fix this problem I have resorted to the use of control points. This works if I add enough points across the brain ( over 200), and I get a better normalization result after running "recon-all -normalization -usecontrolpoints" and another skull-stripping on the new T1-volume. To test whether or not this produces a good segmentaition of white matter, I run mri_segment on my brain.mgz -volume. If I'm satisfied with the segmentation result, I move on to the surface processing stage, and run the -autorecon2 -script. The problem is that after running the -autorecon2, the normalization is completely wrong again, looking more like the first normalization done without control points, and the wm.mgz -volume is also bad. So are the surfaces. How do I make freesurfer produce the same good results as I got during the first normalization? Do I need to specify the use of control points again, even though the brain.mgz volume looks ok? Thanks, Martin Ystad Medical Student University of Bergen Institute of Biomedicine Jonas Lies vei 91, 5009 Bergen, Norway.

problems with process volume
by hengameh haghighat 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hello I have three problems with FreeSurfer software. 1- I don't know how to segment the hippocampus with FreeSurfer software. For this reason i segmentated the hippocampus with another software (MRIcro) and then gave these slides to FreeSurfer software for measuring volume of hippocampus. The obtained volume was greater than the normal volume. For this reason I made a phantom with the specific volume of 27.142 cm3 to obtained correction factor. 2- In the guide's FreeSurfer it is said when watershed algorithm is corrupted , change the preflooding height to 30% in the setting section of RmSkull tab in expert preference , however I didn't get any result. 3- when an analyze file including one slide or all of the taken slides are given to the FreeSurfer software the watershed algorithm is corrupted and the volume is not calculated . 4- How much is the difference between the volume of the subject brain with FreeSurfer software (Albert) and the obtained volume in FreeSurfer software? how have you obtained it's correction factor? I would be thankful if you help me in this matter. I look forward to hearing for you soon Sincerely Yours -- Tehran University of Medical Sciences (www.tums.ac.ir)

Hi, I installed freesurfer in a new machine (Fedora 4) and when I run -skullstrip, an error message appeared as the following. It seems a error from a library libstdc++.so.5. In this machine, libstdc++.so.6 exists.

trouble with seq.info, solved
by Sebastian Moeller 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi All, I just squashed a most embarrassing error in my sequence naming. The open encoding of the used TR in the protokollname (i.e. mak_epi_TR4) classed with the cheking code in mkanalysis-sess.new. There the grep for "TR" returned not only the TR line out of the seq.info file, but also the erroneously named sequence/protocol name, so 4 instead of 2. My quick and dirty fix was to make the grep find "TR " instead of "TR", as the sequence/protocol name is forbidden to contain whitespaces anyway. I am the first to admit the ugliness of this approach, but it solves the problem without having to rename the sequence. And unpacksdcmdir writes several spaces between the TR and the actual value into the seq.info file in the first place. Maybe relaying on those white spaces in the seq.info file could be used to relax the allowed components of the protocol name for all variables?

Tksurfer tcl script LoadCurvature
by Henry Luetcke 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi, is there a tcl-script command for loading a curvature file in tksurfer? If yes, what is it and what is the syntax? Actually, is there a reference document with all the script commands for tksurfer? Thank you very much in advance! Henry
