recon-all exited with error
by Dalton Bermudez 23 Aug '20

23 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution ERROR: MultiRegistration::loadMovables: images have different voxel sizes. Currently not supported, maybe first make conform? Debug info: size(1) = 1, 1, 1 size(0) = 1, 0.976562, 0.976562 error: No such file or directory error: MultiRegistration::loadMovables: voxel size is different /home/dbermudez/Documents/subjects/00_0001/mri/orig/002.mgz. However, I have checked the dimensions of both the T1w and the T2w and they both have the same dimensions: 176×256×256. I do not know what is the problem? and how can I fix the issue?

ROI-wide cortical thickness for each network !
by Martin Juneja 22 Aug '20

22 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi experts, I extracted network-wise cortical measures (i.e., 7 cortical thickness values for 7 networks for Yeo atlas). I was wondering if there is a way to get the cortical thickness of each ROI within each of these networks e.g., cortical thickness values of all the ROIs which constitute default-mode network of Yeo's 7 network parcellation, and then cortical thickness values of all the ROIs which constitute limbic network of Yeo's 7 network parcellation, and so on. I know Desikan atlas can be used to get morphometry measures of 34 ROIs per hemisphere. But the problem is that e.g., default-mode ROIs from Desikan atlas do not completely overlap with the DMN of 7-network parcellation from Yeo atlas. In other words, superior frontal cortex from default-mode network of Yeo 7 network parcellation is a big chunk compared to several small ROIs (some partial and some full) in Desikan atlas, so I do not see any way how to find ROIs which just match with that superior frontal cortex of default-mode of Yeo's 7 network. Any help would be much appreciated !

extracting beta coefficients and p-values
by Rizvi, Batool 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer experts, After running the longitudinal pipeline with QDEC, I needed beta-values of the associations between my main continuous variable and the significant cortical cluster, as well as of all the nuisance factors/categorical variables. Since the summary file doesn't list beta values, I attempted running this command to find beta coefficients: mri_segstats --i beta.mgh --annot fsaverage lh lh-Avg-long.thickness-spc-Parietal_WMH-Cor/mc-z.abs.th20.sig.ocn.annot --excludeid 0 --avgwf avgwf.dat >From this, I got this output file listing beta values for 1 cluster (entorhinal cortex) that was related to my main continuous IV (parietal WMH). I'm struggling to understand how to still compute 1 beta-coefficient per variable from this list. I understand that this list, based on my fsgd file, can be split into 4 sets of numbers, but I'm not sure what do next. avgwf.dat: 0.93879 -8.80748 0.38452 3.13252 -0.09493 -0.13107 -0.09960 -0.31087 -0.02291 0.03127 -0.02417 -0.07858 0.13087 1.80749 0.32535 0.64947 Below is how my fsgd file was structured: GroupDescriptorFile 1 Title ParietalWMH_age_gender_APOe_EC_left MeasurementName long.thickness-spc Class APOE_statusNO-genderF Class APOE_statusYES-genderF Class APOE_statusNO-genderM Class APOE_statusYES-genderM Variables Parietal_WMH age_years Avg_ECthickness Input W38284_base APOE_statusNO-genderF 0.732010 85.830000 3.125000 .. (only listing the 1st Input line here) My contrast file (C.dat) looks like below: 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 So basically, I would like to get beta coefficients for the below variables: * Parietal WMH * Age * Gender * APOE status * Average EC thickness (baseline values) Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Generating Global Thickness and Surface Area Estiamtes from .aparc variables
by Plotkin, Micah 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer Experts, I want to generate global measures of cortical thickness and pial surface area analogous to using total cerebral volume as a global brain volume estimate. In your opinion, would it be reasonable to generate these global thickness and surface area estimates from the following .aparc variables: SurfArea.lh.Frontal MeanThick.lh.Frontal SurfArea.rh.Frontal MeanThick.rh.Frontal SurfArea.lh.Occipital MeanThick.lh.Occipital SurfArea.rh.Occipital MeanThick.rh.Occipital SurfArea.lh.Parietal MeanThick.lh.Parietal SurfArea.rh.Parietal MeanThick.rh.Parietal SurfArea.lh.Temporal MeanThick.lh.Temporal SurfArea.rh.Temporal MeanThick.rh.Temporal Regards, Micah ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The materials in this e-mail are private and may contain Protected Information.

quantifyHAsubregions.sh does not work
by Yang Molly 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi experts, When I tried to gathered the volumes of hippocampus subregions from all subjects by using the commend " quantifyHAsubregions.sh", the command did not work well. There's no error message in the terminal but no file was made after that command. My data was longitudinal data, so I did the longitudinal segment used “segmentHA_T1_long.sh”. Therefore, the exact command I run for results collection was "quantifyHAsubregions.sh hippoSF T1.long subhippallvolume.txt", I also tried to provide the subject directory explicitly as fourth argument like "quantifyHAsubregions.sh hippoSF T1.long subhippallvolume.txt /media/ubuntu/cxy/FreesT1/output.long”. The results was same, there was no file. All my subjects were pre-processed and segmentations using freesurfer version 7.1.0 on ubuntu 16.04. I attached screenshot of my terminal window and the script of quantifyHAsubregions.sh in my computer as below. Do you have any suggestions on how I could figure out this problem? Or other method to gather the results? Thanks a lot!! Molly

External Email - Use Caution Dear all, I noticed FastSurfer also seems to run with a 7.1.0 FS version. Or is there any reason not to do this? Thank you, Kind wishes, Barbara
