Fixed factor vs nuisance factor
by Sunil Khokhar 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Experts, In QDEC, to which box should the categorical variables like gender should go to, given that gender is a variable of no interest? Should it be fixed factors box or the nuisance factors box? Thanks in advance!

question about ventricular volume calculation
by Jiao Qing 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer Developers: I want to calculate ventricular volume using the 'recon-all' procedure. I believe the method of calculation of ventricular volume is different from that of subcortal nuclei. In the 31 steps(Autorecon Processing Stages), which steps are related with ventricular volume? It seem that the steps after 16 are not for ventricular volume calculation,right? FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c Platform:Ubuntu 14.04. Best wishes Qing Jiao, Ph.D Department of Radiology Shandong First Medical University, China

External Email - Use Caution hi I want to process MRI images to extract Morphology features. I convert my dcm file to nii format by mri-convert command and then I used FSL software and BET(Best extraction Tool). Next I do not know what to do to extract morphological features? My other question is what is the difference between recon-all and use FEAT( in FSL software)? What are the uses of each? Thank you

External Email - Use Caution Dear, The segmentation using Freesurfer was incorrect, however we have a good segmentation from Cat 12. Can we use this segmentation for PVC in PETsurfer? Kind regards Donatienne

External Email - Use Caution My Lab, at Barrow Neurological Institute (Phoenix, AZ), is looking for a Postdoc. For more information email to: Ashley M. Stokes, Ph.D. Assistant Professor // Division of Neuro-Imaging Research Barrow Neurological Institute *Ashley.Stokes(a)BarrowNeuro.org* and/or Ryan R. Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., FAAN Associate Professor // Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center Department of Neurology // Barrow Neurological Institute *Ryan.Walsh(a)BarrowNeuro.org* A postdoctoral fellowship position (fully funded for up to three years) is available at Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) working with Ashley Stokes, PhD, and Ryan R. Walsh, MD, PhD, as part of a rapidly growing collaborative research effort between the Division of Neuro-Imaging Research, Department of Neurology, and Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. The position will primarily focus on the development, application, and analysis of advanced MRI methods in the context of both Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as dementia with Lewy bodies and healthy cognitive aging, expanding upon recent novel approaches developed by this multi-modal lab. These methods include advanced functional, diffusion, perfusion, and structural imaging methods, with an emphasis on novel mathematical/signal processing approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and normal brain aging across structural, functional, and perfusion signatures, including their mutual interdependence. BNI is the world’s largest dedicated neurological disease treatment and research institution, and the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at BNI is a recognized leader in the field. Outstanding institutional resources, including 1.5T and 3T Philips clinical MRI, a research-dedicated Philips 3T MRI, a 7T preclinical Bruker MRI, microCT, microPET, and optical imaging scanners are available at BNI. The Division of Neuro-Imaging Research has a strong history of imaging excellence and is currently expanding. BNI is a major hub for neuroscience research, including both basic and translational neuroscience, with a wide range of internationally-recognized neurology subspecialties. Barrow Neurological Foundation provides robust philanthropic support exceeding $18M per annum, 100% of which benefits patient care, research and education at BNI. Applicants should have a PhD in physics, engineering, mathematics, computer science, or a related discipline. Competitive candidates will have expertise in signal processing and/or functional MRI and be interested in developing novel approaches to analysis of MRI-based signals. This position is available immediately and offers competitive compensation and benefits. Phoenix is the 5th largest metropolitan in the United States and the 2nd fastest growing city. Phoenix is a beautiful place to live and work, boasting more days of sunshine and a lower cost of living than most comparable cities. A rich culture, including theatre, concerts, museums, sports, and great food, are easily found in Phoenix. With a moderate climate most of the year, many Phoenicians enjoy an active lifestyle of hiking, cycling, rock climbing, swimming, and golf. Interested applicants should send a current CV, including the names of three references, to both: *Ashley M. Stokes, Ph.D.Assistant Professor // Division of Neuro-Imaging Research Barrow Neurological Institute Ashley.Stokes(a)BarrowNeuro.org* *Ryan R. Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., FAANAssociate Professor // Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center Department of Neurology // Barrow Neurological Institute Ryan.Walsh(a)BarrowNeuro.org*

trac-all -bedp error after successful -prep
by Michele Valotti 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi all, I am trying to run tract segmentation on a scan and after running trac-all -prep without errors, trac-all -bedp can't run because it can't find dmri/data. Checking the dir I see a data.nii.gz but it looks like it's a broken link, even though the dwi.nii.gz image (which data.nii.gz should link to in my understanding) is in the folder. I have attached the log which I have skimmed through without seeing any obvious problems. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you, Michele

Re: [Freesurfer] Freesurfer 7.1.0 on CentOS 8.1 {Disarmed}

External Email - Use Caution Hello Ali, The swrast error can happen if Nvidia grpahics drivers were installed using Nvidia’s own packages/download and then subsequently, your CentOS8 kernel was updated via the CentOS package management tools, i.e. the Nvidia software may then be incompatible with the upgraded system.  I think there are Nvidia packages in the CentOS package repos, and using those to re-install the Nvidia software could fix those kinds of errors. Currently the freesurfer RPM install path is not relocatable.  I’m not sure relocation would help as I think admin/root privileges would still be needed to for the installation process to download and install any system system dependent packages the freesurfer RPM indicates are needed. I would ask your IT folks (with root/admin privileges) to look into updating the Nvidia software and also install the freesurfer RPM for you.  They may already have a way to share/mount/mirror what the freesurfer RPM will install under the unique path /usr/local/freesurfer/7.1.1 from one machine to another. -R.

Caution         Hello,  I’ve seen a couple mentions on the list-serv about difficulties using Freesurfer on CentOS 8.   My issue is likely similar, but I have a few more details.  I downloaded freesurfer-linux-centos8_x86_64-7.1.0.tar.gz.   When I launch `freeview`, it pops up a white/empty X window for a moment and then quickly disappears.   E.g. $ freeviewMESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)libGL error: failed to load driver: swrastAborted (core dumped) I vaguely recall that the libGL errors _aren’t_ fatal.  I’ve seen them with other X applications.  Digging around the abort logs, I found the stack trace (see end of email).  Do you have thoughts on this?  I thought it might be a VTK compatibility issue, but that is a guess at best. Best

Editing Issues
by Harriet Cornwell 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi FreeSurfer team, Here are the details regarding the versions of FreeSurfer that my team are using: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0 I have a couple of questions regarding editing. 1. Whilst editing one brain we discovered a small hole (see just above the cursor on Screenshot 1). Does this require any manual editing? If so, what would you recommend we do? 2. We are working with brains that were scanned at multiple sites. FreeSurfer seems to have a problem segmenting around the ventricles (see Screenshot 2) with a number of brains from one of the sites. Is this an issue that requires manual editing and if so, what do you recommend we do? If you need any further information, please let me know. Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
