mris_sphere - cortex incomplete coverage
by Jayashree Chandrasekaran 28 Aug '22

28 Aug '22

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I'm working with the spherical surface generation for the NMT template brain using freesurfer (using NHP-freesurfer pipeline as a guide). I run into the following issue where the spherical surface generated doesn't engulf the entire cortical surface as seen in the screenshot attached. I couldn't find documentation for this command so I'm hoping to get your help. 1) FreeSurfer version: freesurfer 6.0-2017 2) Platform: CentOS Linux 7 (Core) 3) uname -a: Linux 3.10.0-1160.6.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 17 13:59:11 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [image: Screen Shot 2022-08-04 at 9.38.19 AM.png] Thanks, Jayashree

R: SAMSEG estimation error
by Cerri, Stefano 28 Aug '22

28 Aug '22

Hi Giulio, This is odd. I've run your scan on my computer two times using both a single thread and 8 threads with the default FS 7.2 and obtained the same results within the same number of threads. Regarding the np.random functions, these are called only by the lesion version -- which, by the way, we have fixed in version 7.3 the seed to obtain reproducible results. Are you sure you're running these commands on the same machine? Stefano ________________________________ Da: giulio siracusano <giuliosiracusano(a)gmail.com> Inviato: sabato 27 agosto 2022 14:15 A: Cerri, Stefano <SCERRI(a)mgh.harvard.edu> Cc: giulio siracusano <siracusanogiulio(a)gmail.com>; freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Oggetto: Re: [Freesurfer] SAMSEG estimation error External Email - Use Caution Hi Stefano, thanks a lot for the reply. Unfortunately, I've realized that even when you run the same command with a single-thread (see attached results 1 and 3) you get slighly different results, which are also different against the multi-thread execution (result 2). I've checked the code in Python for samseg (in /usr/local/freesurfer/7.2.0/python/packages/samseg) and I can see there are several calls to np.random, without setting the pseudonumber generator (such as with np.random(1234)). This of course might have implications on the reproducibility of the results, although I think most of the code is in a compiled library. You can check yourself using the file I've shared with you on google drive. I agree with you that, based on the implementation, running SAMSEG with a multi-thread execution (i.e. using --threads flag) causes a non-deterministic behaviour and the results will not be reproducible. Of course, we are talking about very very small variations (<0.1%) among results, but it is something disappointing (at least when using default settings which imply a single-thread execution). Thanks for letting me know about this option when compiling the source code. Regards Giulio On Sat, 27 Aug 2022 at 17:38, Cerri, Stefano <SCERRI(a)mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:SCERRI@mgh.harvard.edu>> wrote: Hi Giulio, Although SAMSEG is a deterministic algorithm the default version might give you different results when executed with a different number of threads. These are small differences when looking at seg.mgz (a few voxels with swapped labels), but they are more visible when looking at volumes computed from soft segmentations like the stats files. Note that you will obtain the same exact results when running SAMSEG with the same number of threads. If you want to have cross-thread reproducible results with SAMSEG you can download the source files of FS 7.2 and build FS with the flag (GEMS_CROSS_THREAD_REPRODUCIBLE ON when doing cmake). Note that this version of SAMSEG will run slower than the original version. Source files can be downloaded here: https://github.com/freesurfer/freesurfer/tags?after=v7.3.1<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1f6_OrrMtkirHO7dyqPm2qDT9b28pekhPVqQDcrIico18J…> and instructions on how to build FS are here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/BuildGuide<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1CaXd2_aFCyTRvuzpyKfKWpi8AQAZcUmyziYiFtuz41i6X…> Hope it helps, Stefano ________________________________ Da: giulio siracusano <siracusanogiulio(a)gmail.com<mailto:siracusanogiulio@gmail.com>> Inviato: sabato 27 agosto 2022 04:22 A: freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> <freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>> Cc: Cerri, Stefano <SCERRI(a)mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:SCERRI@mgh.harvard.edu>> Oggetto: Re: [Freesurfer] SAMSEG estimation error External Email - Use Caution Hi Stefano, I've investigated the use of SAMSEG for AD/MCI patients.

FW: mri_cvs_register on sub mm brain
by Elizabeth Haris 27 Aug '22

27 Aug '22

External Email - Use Caution Hi developers! I am using v7.2.0 recon-all and mri_cvs_register to preprocess and normalise to MNI152. When I use recon-all with the -cm flag to preprocess at min voxel size (0.7mm), recon-all is fine; however, the final output from mri_cvs_register is deformed. When I complete recon-all without the -cm flag, mri_cvs_register seems fine (I assume because these both run in 1mm). Is there any way to use mri_cvs_register to correctly normalise a sub mm brain preprocessed with recon-all? I’ve attached the mri_cvs_register logs in case they’re of use. I did notice a previous thread on this which was incomplete, so I was hoping to get some further clarification (https://secure-web.cisco.com/1vPiA7tLYYfSCOisjKe6jKEkNpqpDKFmnzqRtM0mX1ess6…) Thanks, Elizabeth

SAMSEG and statistics
by k3ops＠free.fr 27 Aug '22

27 Aug '22

External Email - Use Caution Hi FreeSurfer community, I recently discovered the SAMSEG application in the FreeSurfer 7.2.0 release and started to give a try on few subjects were FreeSurfer was having a hard time to segment brain structures (due to poor contrast). So I have few questions to harmonize the SAMSEG and FreeSurfer statistical files: 1. "samseg.stats" file is not compliant with the "asegstats2table" application so I was not able to generate a final CSV file with volumetric results Is there another solution? 2. "samseg.stats" file does not provide large brain structures like "BrainSegNotVent" or "SupraTentorialNotVent", is there a way to get them calculated? 3. "samseg.stats" file does not provide left/right or global cortical thickness, is there a command line to execute to get these extra values? Thanks. Best, Florent

Freeview quitted unexpectedly
by Danesh kajbaf 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

External Email - Use Caution Dear support team, After installing Freeview, I tried to load a volume, while checking how it works with samples, from the subject folder in the Freesurfer folder. Unfortunately after choosing the file, Freeview crashed out and popped up an error message “Freeview quitted unexpectedly!”. I tried with other files and the same happened again, while all these files could be loaded by FSLeyes, so the problem was not with data. I run Apple Diagnostics to find if the problem was with the hardware or OS and there was no issue. Attached is the text file of the error as I copied and pasted it so it might help to tackle the problem. Freeview 2.0 is installed ,via the Freesurfer 7.3.2 package installer, on macOS Catalina 10.15.7, and my MacBook Pro’s part number is A1706. Regards, Danesh

Re: [Freesurfer] Docker for Freesurfer 7.3.2

External Email - Use Caution Hello Hudson, It should work with an existing CentOS 7, 8 or Ubuntu 18, 20, 22 OS image that you already have running in docker to download and install the freesurfer 7.3.2 .rpm or .deb package.  You just need to download the Freesurfer 7.3.2 package that matches your OS into the container from https://secure-web.cisco.com/11TR8ua7ZAntd-JOE6C37qMEU6Ni9n2fGmRDikMSPlL_oL… and install it locally, e..g., … inside your container use wget or curl from the command line to fetch the package ... $ cd /tmp $ wget https://secure-web.cisco.com/1Rtxnn-EbC50e49F9QmGbplwoTCpnnGUCFue5MQ4-09g_d… or deb file matching your OS> … for rpm file (RedHat, CentOS) ... $ sudo yum install ./<rpm file matching your OS> … for deb file (Ubuntu) … $ sudo apt-get install ./<deb file matching your OS> … answer yes to queries if you want to commit to installing what will be added to the system … When the installation finishes, look to see you have a subdirectory under /usr/local/freesurfer named after the 7.3.2 release, e.g., something like /usr/local/freesurfer/7.3.2.  That path should become the setting for the environment variable FREESURFER_HOME. - R.
