Freesurfer 7.1 recon-all -long exits with erros
by Yakupov, Renat /DZNE 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer developers, I am trying to run the longitudinal processing pipeline of our data on our HPC cluster (SGE based) and it crashes at the 3rd step - generating the longitudinal runs. The exact command is 'recon-all -long tp1dir basedir -all'. There is no error message on the screen, it just says that it exited with errors. The recon-all.log file has no error information either, other than the statement that it exited with errors. It seems to have stopped after mri_nu_correct.mni step and looking further it looks like it crashed at the beginning of orig_nu step, since orig_nu.log has this error message: /usr/bin/time: /dev/stdout: Not a directory Please see attached log files. Additional information: Freesurfer version: freesurfer-linux-centos6_x86_64-7.1.1-20200723-8b40551 uname -a: Linux compute-0-2.local 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 22 06:48:29 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsb_release -a: LSB Version: :base-4.0-amd64:base-4.0-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS release 6.6 (Final) Release: 6.6 Codename: Final What is interesting is that running it on the headnode directly without qsub works fine. The headnode has the same OS and tcsh versions. In my rather poorly informed opinion, it looks like fs_time is the culprit. For a quick fix, is it safe to assume that using fs_time from Freesurfer 6 wont affect the processing pipeline in any way? Thank you! Best regards, Renat.

-hires vs -conf2hires in 7.1.1.
by Alexopoulos, Dimitrios 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

External Email - Use Caution Does the hires flag still generate segs at the native hi resolution and place surfaces on the 1mm volumes, whereas conf2hires generates volumes at 1mm but places surfaces on the hires images? Which option is recommended and why?

equivolumetric surfaces
by バキット・ムダシル 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear freesurfer experts, I want to create an equivolumetric surfaces (using the tool from: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1RxQBNBh7QLlgBP46WWIONAGLCrtuooPBalXpNMTOlsF1e… <https://secure-web.cisco.com/1RxQBNBh7QLlgBP46WWIONAGLCrtuooPBalXpNMTOlsF1e…>) and to sample the intensities of the T1wDividedByT2w volume at all the depths. I created the surfaces and after running the mri_vol2surf command I faced the error below. I don’t know why the path to the surface is not correct. I tried it in different devices with different versions of freesurfer but the results were the same. Any idea what I did wrong?

Error flag i <file path> unrecognized
by Timothy Brackins 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer Developers, I am brand new to using freesurfer, just learning for the first time. I have freesurfer installed and sourced on linux Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. My NfTI files are stored on a windows share drive which I mount to the linux machine. Upon entering the recon-all command I receive the Error flag i <file path> unrecognized. I searched the archives but did not see a similar issue.Thank you in advance for your time and help with this. -- Timothy Brackins Doctoral Student, Cognitive Sciences Cognitive Aging and Memory (CAM) Lab Stony Brook University Email: timothy.brackins(a)stonybrook.edu <julia.kearle(a)stonybrook.edu> Lab Website: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1Ry_JC145aM8XwIFAq-LQSD7fYGd_v5PVnOcPMnS80qPgG…

Prevent segmentHA_T1_long.sh from creating several LWPs
by Micael Andersson UMU 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer users I have been running the longitudinal pipeline with hippocampus segmentation in FreeSurfer 7.1.1 on a computer cluster with a batch-system that regulates number of cores to use. There is though a problem when running /segmentHA_T1.sh/ and /segmentHA_T1_long.sh/ since they creates several LWPs. Setting /export ITK_GLOBAL_DEFAULT_NUMBER_OF_THREADS=1/ does lock a process to one core at a time, but NLWP is not 1, which is a problem on the cluster system. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Cortical thickness on version 6 vs 7
by Xiaojiang Yang 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer developers, I have a cohort of subjects that are already run under FS 6. I recently upgraded Freesurfer from 6.0 to 7.1.1, and now I also have run these subjects under FS 7. When comparing the cortical thickness results obtained from FS6 and FS7, I found that FS 7 results are much smaller than the FS6 ones. On average, about 13%-21% decrease in the subject's average cortical thickness. Specifically, on a cohort of images from GE scanners, the average cortical thickness from FS6 is 2.5mm, but from FS7 is less than 2.0mm. According to some published papers, I think 2.5mm as the average cortical thickness is more accurate than 2.0mm. Have you encountered this issue or question before? Do you think I should keep using FS6? Please give me your advice. Thank you! John.

Samseg longitudinal processing
by Jayachandra Raghava 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

External Email - Use Caution Hello Freesurfer Experts, I am using Freesurfer version 7.1.1 to perform longitudinal Samseg processing (using run_samseg_long) on my T1 longitudinal data. 1) First, I run the mri_robust_template to generate the mean.mgz using T1.mgz from the cross sectional recon-all pipeline. Would it be better to use T1.mgz from the longitudinally processed data? 2) There are few subjects who do not have followup data. How do I process these subjects to avoid the bias introduced by the longitudinal Samseg pipeline? 3) For the same subject, I see that the subcortical volumes from longitudinal recon-all pipeline from aseg.stats (e.g Left-Hippocampus volume is 3321.5mm3) are different to the subcortical volumes from longitudinal samseg pipeline from samseg.stats (e.g Left-Hippocampus volume is 3899.628686mm3). Which of these measures would be recommended? Thank you very much for your support! Best wishes Jay
