Could you help me to extract my brain from MRI?
by satyr96＠o2.pl 27 Oct '19

27 Oct '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello. I have spent a lot of time testing different options in freesurfer to extract my brain for 3D printing but I could not get good results (like different parameters for skul removal and multiple images). I think the issue is with my image is to crappy because when I have used perfect MRI scan (now I think it could have been human sliced after dead) the brain looks perfect and I was able to 3D print it. I attachment I am sending the comparation between results. Link to my MRI images and final STL files: drive.google.com drive.google.com Please remove any private info if I left any. Please help me to create my own 3D model of brain. Best regards, Adam

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I am trying to do a within-subject co-registration between b0 volumes and T1's for my subjects. This is an old dataset that does not have anything for correcting b0 inhomogeneities. The registration using --dti and normal parameters for bbregister led to "okay" within-subject registration. I am wondering if modifying the --dof (like 12) option for bbregister or applying some type of linear/nonlinear registration might improve the registration?

Thalamic subnuclei color table
by Crawford, Anna 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello, Just a quick question. We recently installed the new thalamus segmentation subroutine. It's really wonderful, and much promise to our work. I can't find a lookup table with the numerical labels from the FS output to the thalamic nuclei. The numbers around between 8103-8133 on the right, and 8203 and 8233 on the left. Can you point me in the right direction for this? For other FS segmented volumes I always use the following, but it doesn't include these thalamic subnuclei http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/AnatomicalROI/FreeSurfe… Thank you, Anna Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail Cleveland Clinic is currently ranked as the No. 2 hospital in the country by U.S. News & World Report (2017-2018).

Mri_mask producing only zeros
by Sims, Sara A (Campus) 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

External Email - Use Caution Freesurfers, I am trying to use mri_mask using surface overlays. I made a label into a volume and then into a surface with 1s inside the label and 0s outside the label. I want to make a connectivity map surface overlay with values only within my label overlay. However when I run it, it creates a surface overlay with only zeros. There is definitely values within the label surface overlay (I triple checked). Code I used: Mri_mask original_surface_overlay label_mask new_masked_output It doesn’t output any errors. Here is what it looks like in freeview: Original surface overlay (label is outlined in green) [cid:image001.png@01D5821A.1324B130] The label made into a surface overlay (same as the one shown in green above): [cid:image002.png@01D5821A.1324B130] But this is the output: all zeros even though there was data within the mask. [cid:image003.png@01D5821A.1324B130] Help! Sara A. Sims

Mean p-value of uncorrected cluster in Qdec
by Lucia Batzu 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer Developers, I'm running a Qdec analysis in which I'm looking for correlations between cortical thickness and a continuous CSF measurement. I'm interested in a specific area in which a cluster of correlation pops up, but doesn't survive cluster-wise correction for multiple comparisons. The details of the cluster are the following: Contrast: 'rh-Avg-thickness-CSF_protein-Cor', 15fwhm, DOF: 61 ClusterNo: 1 Max: 3.1156 VtxMax: 122763 Size(mm2): 1247.98 TalX: 19.9 TalY: -46.6 TalZ: -9.0 NVtxs: 2022 Annotation: lingual I would like to know if there is a way to extract the mean p-value [or, better, -log10(p)] of the uncorrected cluster. Thank you very much in advance, Best, Lucia

24 Oct '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear freesurfer experts, I want to know the full name of the cortical segmentation structures. The look up table cannot solve my question. For example, the full name of the rh_bankssts_volume or rh_parsopercularis_volume. Cheers, Chen

Converting ROIs from MNI152 space to MNI305
by Barbour, Tracy,M.D. 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

Hello experts, I am trying to convert insula ROIs that are in MNI 152 2 mm space to MNI305 space. I will eventually this ROI for connectivity analysis. I ran mri_vol2vol: mri_vol2vol --mov $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage/mri/orig.mgz --targ /autofs/cluster/neuromod/Insula_ROIs/left/k10/cluster_1.nii.gz --reg $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage/mri.2mm/reg.2mm.mni152.dat --inv --o cluster_1.mni305.mgz When I visualize the results the converted ROI is more caudal than the original. What am I doing wrong? Tracy
