recon-all stops in CORRECTING DEFECT
by Marina Fernández 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear freesurfer experts, We run recon-all in a specific subject and we can see in the terminal every commands until the following line: *CORRECTING DEFECT 21 (vertices=36576, convex hull=4845, v0=64547)* When the procedure is in this line it takes a lot of time (days) and it doesn't advance. When we open the lh.inflated and [l/r]h.orig.nofix files we can see that this subject has several errors *(see attached images)* but we don't know how we can repair it to finish the initial recon-all. Does anyone know how to solve this situation? What can we do? We will appreciate any help. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, Marina Fernández Álvarez, PhD-student.

calculation of the volume in mm3
by Schranzer René 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer Developers, I was wondering about the volume calculation of the structures in the aseg.stats file. VoxelVolume_mm3 0.512 NVoxels 8616 Volume_mm3 4312.4 StructName Right-Hippocampus After my calculation of NVoxels * VoxelVolume I get a slightly different value. 0.512*8616 = 4411.4 Where does the difference come from? Thanks, René

fsaverage error with recon-all
by chen 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear All, I ran recon-all using single MPRAGE data set. Processing exited with an error pasted below indicating there is not fsaverage/surf/lh.sphere.reg. According to the fsaverage-recon-all.log, it completed without error. I was able to run a subject before without any error not sure why all the subjects I ran now over the weekend ended up with same error. Secondly, i have studied the multi-site reliability of young traveling subjects which scanned in multi-site with the same scanner and protocol across 12 month. I ran these data with cross-pipeline. But, our results showed that the amygdala volumes have significantly lower reproducibility in inter-site than hippocampus and entorhinal cortex (ICC scores less than 0.5) with FreeSurfer rather than manual tracing. So, i want to assure that recon-all -all is the optimal process pipeline. If not, can you give me some advice? Should i use the longitudinal pipeline in multi-site study with traveling subjects? Thanks. ------------------ 首都医科大学宣武医院杜佳晨

Alignment of segmented brainstem in Freesurfer
by Sadia Sheikh 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer experts I did brainstem segmentation using BrainstemSubstructure method. Then after segmentation, I aligned all my segmented brainstem to Talairach coordinates using transform=$SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/mri/transforms/talairach.xfm. Alignment seems to be fine. But the boundary of the aligned brainstem looks distorted with different other colors. Why does the boundary look like this? and how can I improve this? I have attached the image of brainstem after alignment. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Freesurfer] FreeSurfer 6.0 disk image for VirtualBox?
by fsbuild 24 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello Gonzola, I use a CentOS7 VM image (on virtualbox) originally downloaded from osboxes.org.  After downloading and bringing up the image, I installed various packages for freesurfer.  But apart from my image being CentOS7 (and not CentOS6), I think it is currently too large for it to be practical to upload/download. You can download CentOS6 images from osboxes.org, https://www.osboxes.org/centos/If you scroll down that page you will see the latest CentOS6 image is 6.10, followed by previous 6.X releases. Some of the packages I installed are, qt-create qt-config.x86_64 qt5-qtx11extras.x86_64 qt5-qtx11extras-devel.x86_64 boost.x86_64 boost-devel.x86_64 tk-devel.x86_64 opencl-filesystem.noarch opencl-headers.noarch opencv.x86_64  opencv-devel.x86_64 git-annex - R.

Re: [Freesurfer] Followup on the mystery of the missing mcprextreg file
by Mcnorgan, Christopher 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Thanks for looking into the matter Doug, and I now have gotten to the bottom of the problem based on your suggestion about dropping volumes. For context, I have been collecting functional runs from a Phillips scanner using a self-paced task, and terminating the run prior to the 256-volume finishing time. The MRI center has been providing us with reconstructed .NII files, rather than DICOM files, but the .NII file headers incorrectly report the files as containing 256 frames, rather than the actual number of full frames collected. When opening the .nii file headers using fsledithd, the mismatch between observed and expected data size is detected, and the data are zero-padded until the 4D files have 256 frames worth of data. The problem we had was during motion correction, when motion correction for some runs (but not others) failed to generate a mcprextreg file, though all other indications suggested that motion-correction had been successfully applied to the data. When I used fslplit on the padded files to inspect individual frames, there were some instances of partial volumes in the last non-zero data frame, as though a partially-acquired data frame would be included in the reconstructed data. In many cases, only a few slices were missing, but in a few others (likely the ones that were problematic), most slices were missing, which is surely catastrophic for realignment. In the end, I went back to the original data, used fslsplit to split the volumes into individual frames which also generated a series of dummy volumes, and then inspected the series to identify where the padded volumes start. After deleting the padded and/or partial volumes, I merged the individual 3D volumes into a 4D series, and preproc-sess went off without a problem. /********************************************** * Chris McNorgan * Assistant Professor * Department of Psychology * University at Buffalo, * The State University of New York * http://ccnlab.buffalo.edu/ * Office: 716.645.0236 * Lab: 716.645.0222 **********************************************/
