Surface registration problem
by Manenti, Giorgio 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear Experts, I’m encountering a problem when running the preproc-sess on my functional data. When using the flag -surface subject hemi i am getting ":ERROR: source volume is neither source nor target of the registration”. The source is a template.nii file present in the bold folders, while the destination file is the mri/orig.mgz from the “subject” folder (after Longitudinal recon-all). I am not sure if the problem could be connected with the mc-sess,stc-sess or topup (where i need to crop out 1 slice to get an even volume) steps, that i’m running before preproc-sess, or if i’m missing an extra flag. Here the command i’m running: preproc-sess -s f10_sess01new -fsd bold -i my_hifi_images -nostc -nomc -surface hum_15721.long.long010 lhrh -mni305 -fwhm 4 -per-run Many thanks for your time and support, Best Regards Giorgio

External Email - Use Caution Hi Doug, Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for all your help. Attached is the text file of the output. This was testing autorecon-pial, but the bug is the same no matter if it's autorecon2-wm, autorecon3, or any place it hits the "if ( $ud" statement. Best, Kody Run it with -debug as the first option, capture the output, and send it to us.

We want to be able to connect to Freesurfer's website while connected to the VLAN, and we need to supply which ports the website accesses. I used nmap to scan and see which ports are open, and I found this: PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 80/tcp open http 443/tcp open https Our hospital's IT is unsure if the FTP port can be opened without a security breach, and they are wondering if we will still be able to access the website without the 21/FTP port opened? Can anyone provide me with that information? Thanks, Hannah --

15 Apr '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer Developers, I've a problem that cannot solve for the last week. I am using virtual box, FS7 on my windows. I run reconall for Bert and checked that it is working.I have an MRI scan of sepstic patients that I got via CD, these are DICOM files but does not end with .dcm. When I try to run reconall, for dcm images I got the following error (the longer version is in the attachment) ........ Loading pixel data JPEG compressed, decompressing cd /home/developer/Documents/7.1.0-1/subjects/sepsis2 fsdcmdecompress --i /home/developer/Documents/7.1.0-1/subjects/D_000001/F_000001 --o /tmp/developer.tmp.decompressed.dcm.0oOV4x --jpeg >& /tmp/developer.tmp.decompressed.dcm.0oOV4x.dcmdjpeg.out ERROR: 512, see /tmp/developer.tmp.decompressed.dcm.0oOV4x.dcmdjpeg.out for more details Command exited with non-zero status 1 @#@FSTIME 2021:04:08:08:29:16 mri_convert N 2 e 1.97 S 1.19 U 0.60 P 91% M 9200 F 2 R 999 W 0 c 174 w 356 I 32240 O 0 L 0.55 0.33 0.41 @#@FSLOADPOST 2021:04:08:08:29:18 mri_convert N 2 0.55 0.33 0.41 Linux developer-VirtualBox 5.3.0-53-generic #47~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 7 13:10:50 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux recon-all -s sepsis2 exited with ERRORS at Thu Apr 8 08:29:18 EDT 202 I converted files to nii, this time I decided to run reconall on nii images, it took more time but again failed on talairach transform. I tried to run on different shells but ended up with the same problem. Is it related with my MRI data or computer, how can I understand that? Many thanks! Banu

Regarding xhemi comparison of hemispheres of the same subject
by Ghassemieh, A. (Anna) 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear all, I'm currently working on comparing left with right hemisphere activation for individual subjects and using version 7.1.1. Since it is on an individual level, we would like to register the left hemisphere of each subject to their mirrored right hemisphere (or vice versa). When looking at the way this is described in the wiki (https://secure-web.cisco.com/1b80Mej4E9rovgmSCJq2Tz2wDNVe2geAoqeHRggKKORugG…) we started to wonder the following: It is suggested to register to the symmetrical template for each subject. However, it is unclear to us why this is necessary since there is already a matched registration via the spherical reg file for each subject. Does anyone know if it is possible to use this for the purpose somehow instead?

Skull stripping with T2
by Rohan Bareja 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I am doing skull stripping with free surfer v6.0, and have tried various watershed cut-offs to do skull stripping on T2 scans. But, it removes a lot of brain portion. Here are my commands: mri_convert /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/patient_20_t2/mri/T2_age_reg_bias.nii.gz /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/patient_20_t2/mri/001.mgz recon-all -s patient_20_t2 -autorecon1 ## to be used only when increasing or decreasing threshold of skull stripping. recon-all -skullstrip -wsthresh 25 -clean-bm -s patient_12_t2 Is there any way that I can improve upon this and get better results if I am missing something? Thanks, Rohan

External Email - Use Caution [image: image1.png] [image: image2.png] Hello Doug, Thanks for the reply. I've a parcellation of the gm and wm with different label ids (see screenshot 1). I did like to extract a *non-binarised* wm to look like screenshot 2. mri_extract_label and mri_binarize don't keep the different colours. Is there a freesurfer command to achieve this?

External Email - Use Caution Hello Pal, Could be because tar archive contains hard links - which I don’t believe are supported when running a linux VM on top of a Windows OS (error from the first hard link it encountered and tried to write - and then quit). You could try expanding the tar archive ignoring *all*links* with the following using the *star* (pre-cursor to tar) command (cut and paste below and change tar archive name if need be), $ star -x  f=freesurfer-linux-centos7_x86_64-7.1.0.tar.gz  -find ! -type l - R.

New York City-based Neuroimaging Postdoctoral Position Available
by Sherry Simkovic 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

External Email - Use Caution The Psychiatry Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein (PRIME), a division of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar in the field of human neuroimaging. The focus of this position will be on analyzing fMRI data as well as related MR and biological measures. Candidates should either have completed or be near completing a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, radiology, engineering, or a related field, and should have a strong background in quantitative analysis. Proficiencies with at least one major neuroimaging software suite (e.g. FSL, AFNI, SPM, Freesurfer, Caret, Connectome workbench, etc.) and Unix/Linux environment are expected. Familiarity with Matlab, Python, and/or R programming languages is a plus. Under the mentorship of Vilma Gabbay, MD, this postdoctoral scholar will be expected to advance both clinical and methodological knowledge through their postdoctoral training. Dr. Gabbay is the Director of Research at PRIME, a unique program in the greater New York metropolitan area dedicated exclusively to the study and treatment of adolescent mood and anxiety disorders, utilizing innovative neuroimaging and immunological methodologies. The neuroimaging program features high-resolution data acquisition and analysis techniques modeled on the Human Connectome Project (HCP) and is dedicated to advancing the fields of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Resources available on-campus and through long-standing collaborations include multiple research-dedicated 3T MRI scanners (Siemens Skyra, Philips Elition) with cutting-edge accelerated fMRI and edited MRS sequences, high-performance scientific computing clusters, and an extensive library of analytic and statistical software. The primary responsibility for this postdoctoral fellow will be to analyze neuroimaging data from several ongoing and recently concluded research projects. Dr. Gabbay is fully committed to fostering the trainee's research independence through publication of first-authored manuscripts in top journals and mentorship in grant applications. In addition to assisting with the PI’s proposals, the successful applicant will be highly encouraged to develop and pursue funding for their own research project through federal (e.g. NIH F32) or foundation grant programs by the end of their first year. The initial employment period for this position is two years, with the possibility of extension. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience and the cost of living in New York City. Subsidized housing close to the Einstein campus in the Morris Park neighborhood of The Bronx is available. Please send a CV, statement of interest, and contact information for three references to Dr. Ely (benjamin.ely(a)einsteinmed.org<mailto:benjamin.ely@einsteinmed.org>) and Dr. Qi Liu (qi.liu(a)einsteinmed.org<mailto:qi.liu@einsteinmed.org>).

External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer Developers, I'm attempting to open files through Freeview v.2.0 (I’m using freesurfer-i386-apple-darwin11.4.2-stable6-20170119), but cannot do it “manually” but only through scripting / the terminal. The operating system is macOS BigSur 11.2.3 (20D91). The latest attempt to open files this way have led the program to crashes or freeze. Please find attached an error report from the program crashing. Best, Max
