use of ANTs Denoising in FS 7.1
by Alexopoulos, Dimitrios 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi all, In previous datasets, and prior to FS 7, we independently ran ANTs denosing on the input T1s prior to running recon-all, However, FS 7.1 now appears to use the denosing utility in parts of the pipeline. "ANTS denoise is used when creating the orig surface (but not thefinal surfaces)" Does this mean the denoised image is only used in the segmentation part of the pipeline (to generated the aseg.mgz) and does not propagate through to final surfaces? Why not use denoised T1 through the surface-generation phase of the pipeline. Can you provide some further clarification. Thx.

missing one tract but differently for a few subjects
by Zeng, Qi 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi, When I examined the 18 tracts of /dpath results, a few subjects were found missing one tract but differently, for example, fmajor were missing for one subject and the other one was missing lh.slfp and rh.slfp. I was thinking could it be that AP-PA was flipped. Attached screenshots of dtifit_FA.nii, aparc+seg_mask.nii, and bvec. Can you provide some information about the flip so that I can examine it for the rest of the subjects? Best, Qi --

Re: [Freesurfer] use of ANTs Denoising in FS 7.1

External Email - Use Caution Hi, We're implementing freesurfer and other neuroimaging applications on the High Performance Computing center. To help more users get up to speed quickly, I'm trying to pull together up-to-date freesurfer/freeview educational materials into a single online resource. Is it OK to link directly to available online resources/tutorials/videos/datasets as long as I include appropriate attributions? If not, how do I go about getting permissions? Warm Regards, John R.

recon-all output resolution
by Billah, Tashrif 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Hi all, Is the resolution of mri/*mgz files produced by `recon-all -all` always 1mm^3 regardless of the resolution of my input unless -hires is used? This is what I found in recon-all.log: without --hires: mri_convert 001/mri/rawavg.mgz 001/mri/orig.mgz --conform I believe the `--conform` flag does the resampling for all resolution. with -hires: mri_convert 434/mri/rawavg.mgz 434/mri/orig.mgz --conform_min Best, Tashrif

Cannot disable the topology correction
by k3ops＠free.fr 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi FS team, I am having an error when disabling (-nofix) the topology correction with the recon-all command. The "-nofix" option is skipping the topology correction as expected but then the next step is failing because "?h.orig" file does not exist. When reading the recon-all table here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReconAllTableStableV6.0 it looks like "-fix" step (topology correction) is first copying the following file: "cp ?h.orig.nofix ?h.orig" So if this step is ignored with the "-nofix" option then "?h.orig" files are not created, which is causing a failure with next step (cannot read ?h.orig). Do you have any solution to that? My goal is to run FreeSurfer without topology correction because for some cases it is running in an infinite loop (more than 2 days of processing). Thanks, Florent FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0 Platform: Ubuntu 18.04

Schwartz atlas reference in recon-all 3T flag
by Hye Min Shin 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I understand that from a previous FreeSurfer question the Schwartz atlas used in the 3T flag during recon-all is not published yet ( https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg47175.html) Since this question was asked back in 2016 I wanted to double-check if the reference atlas for the Schwartz atlas is still not published yet. Best, Julia Shin
