Question about pial surface error
by Giorgia Picci 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I have an editing question. We have some overlap in WM and pial surfaces, but we're unsure if this is an actual issue that should be edited, and if so, which surface should we be editing? I have attached an image of the issue here. We have circled the areas that we see the issue. It spans multiple slices.

Tracula error: ERROR: Must specify input table of gradient vectors
by Figueiro Longo, Maria Gabriela 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hello Dear Freesurfer Developers, I am attempting to run Tracula in the last to subject of my study (I had processed all the other subjects using the same script without problems). However, when I try to run the scrip bellow, I am having the error: " ERROR: Must specify input table of gradient vectors " I am reviewed the associated DICOM images and couldn't find any problem with the images. I reviewed a couple emails in the list, but couldn't find a clear reason for keeping having this error. I am using the Freesurfer Dev version. I really appreciate any help. Thank you, Gabriela # FreeSurfer SUBJECTS_DIR # T1 images and FreeSurfer segmentations are expected to be found here # setenv SUBJECTS_DIR /autofs/cluster/guptagp/LLLT/fsrecon # Output directory where trac-all results will be saved # Default: Same as SUBJECTS_DIR # set dtroot = /autofs/cluster/guptagp/gabi/tracula/Output # Subject IDs (one per time point per subject) # set subjlist = ( 3LT050_s1_170715 ) # Longitudinal base template subject IDs (one for each time point above) # set baselist = ( 3LT050 ) # In case you want to analyze only Huey and Louie # Default: Run analysis on all time points and subjects # # set runlist = (1 2 5 6) # Input diffusion DICOMs (file names relative to dcmroot) # If original DICOMs don't exist, these can be in other image format # but then bvecfile and bvalfile must be specified (see below) # set dcmroot = /autofs/cluster/guptagp/LLLT/raw_data set dcmlist = ( 3LT050_s1_170715/MR.1.3.12.2.1107.5.2.43.67026.20170715092715598296003 ) Gabriela Longo, MD, MSc.

External Email - Use Caution for example, here is the lh.gyrification.gii file from CAT calculation. I want a mgh file called lh.gyrification.mgh. My mris_convert command line is as followings: mris_convert lh.gyrification.gii lh.gyrification.mgh But this mgh file seemed failed. I do not know whether my command line is right or not. You should use mris_convert. What is your command line and terminal output? On 4/27/2020 11:05 AM, 肖伏龙 wrote: External Email - Use Caution Dear professor: I have a question to consult you.

How is Total cortical gray matter volume calculated
by Ian Hardingham 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

External Email - Use Caution Morning Freesurfers. Can you describe how the FS stat Total cortical gray matter volume is calculated from the files in the freesurfer subject directory? Is there an mgz file where each voxel has an estimated percentage grey matter here as the value... or is the volume between the surfaces calculated somehow? Thanks, Ian

Freeview surface loading error : MRISread failed
by Sezer, Idil 27 Apr '20

Hello FreeSurfer developers, I am having an issue viewing a .mgh file I created. Using an output from the fmriprep pipeline, I converted an nii.gz to a .mgh surface : mri_vol2surf --src <participant_ID>_desc-preproc_T1w.nii.gz --<participant_ID> --regheader <participant_ID> --hemi lh I am trying to visualize this surface on an inflated brain using: freeview -f $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/lh.inflated:overlay=/Users/idilsezer/Desktop/fmriprep_outputs/test/lh.<participant_ID>.mgh I get an error message saying : MRISread(/Users/idilsezer/Desktop/fmriprep_outputs/freesurfer/fsaverage/surf/lh.inflated): could not open file No such file or directory MRISread failed MRISread(/Users/idilsezer/Desktop/fmriprep_outputs/freesurfer/fsaverage/surf/lh.inflated): could not open file And Freeview’s GUI says : Failed to load Surface /Users/idilsezer/Desktop/fmriprep_outputs/freesurfer/fsaverage/surf/lh.inflated I also tried loading it directly from the GUI instead of the command line, it also doesn’t seem to work unfortunately. FreeSurfer version : freesurfer-Darwin-OSX-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c Platform : mac OS Catalina version 10.15.4 (19E287) Thanks in advance for your help, Best regards, Idil

Mri_segstats for PET data: Reviewer question
by Shane Schofield 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi Freesurfer Team, I have used mri_segstats to get ythe mean PET uptake across all the parcellations in the WMPARC space. These values were calculated in the native PET space (following the DTI tutorial). A reviewer asked what is the grey matter probability of the ROI and I am not sure how to address this. Any help is kindly appreciated. Thanks.

Overlapping Treatments and fsgd files
by Matthew Peverill 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello all, I hope everyone is staying safe and sane out there. I'm running an analysis looking at brain structure differences associated with two separate environmental exposures in children (both dichotomous variables). I am controlling for sex and age, and I'm not interested in interaction effects. My go-to strategy does not match the documentation, but I'm not sure the documented solution using fsgd files will meet my needs. I was hoping I could check with the list about best practices. Because some participants have both exposures, my intuition was to use dummy coded variables so that the design matrix looks like this: +1.00000 +3.11124 -0.48322 -0.51007 -0.53020 +1.00000 -0.20820 +0.51678 -0.51007 -0.53020 +1.00000 -2.06654 -0.48322 -0.51007 -0.53020 ... Where the columns are (mean, mean centered age, mean centered sex, mean centered exposure 1, mean centered exposure 2). A contrast for exposure 1 - exposure 2 would then look like this: [0, 0, 0, 1, -1] However, it's clear from the documentation that, given 3, 2 level factors, the recommended approach is to specify 8 classes (one for every combination of factors) and the covariate in an fsgd file. I can remove the interaction terms from the resulting matrix, but even so it looks very different than what I had above: +1.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +3.11124 +0.00000 +1.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +1.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 -2.06654 ... With a contrast with all classes with exposure 1 set to '1', and all classes with exposure 2 set to '-1' - with the order of the classes in the fsgd file it comes out as [-1 -1 1 1 1 1 -1 -1 0]. I'm not positive that this is the right way to model differences associated with each exposure given unequal #s of participants with neither/both/just one exposure, but I certainly don't have the expertise to be certain. Could someone give me some guidance on the best approach here? Thank you, -Matt -- Matthew Peverill 857-277-9083 mrpeverill(a)gmail.com (preferred) pronouns: he/his
