VT images from pmod to freesurfer
by Donatienne Van Weehaeghe 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear, I encountered a problem when going from pmod to freesurfer. I made Vt images in pmod using the logan plot, then I used the following commands to convert them to freesurfer space: #flirt -noresample -in /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}_Vt.nii -ref /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/$word/mri/T1-2mm_skullstripped.nii.gz -applyxfm -init /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/$word/mri/SUVR/SUV.lrrev_lin_T1.mat -out /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}_Vt.fsl.nii #3dresample -master /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/$word/mri/occipital.nii.gz -inset /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}_Vt.nii -prefix /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}_Vt.fsl.nii Then I did partial volume correction using this command: #mri_gtmpvc --i /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}_Vt.fsl.nii --reg Vt.reg.lta --psf 5 --seg /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/$word/mri/gtmseg.mgz --default-seg-merge --auto-mask 5 0.01 --rbv --o /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}gtmpvc.output.spmreg --no-rescale --threads 8 Then I did surface projection: #mri_vol2surf --mov /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}gtmpvc.output.spmreg/rbv.nii.gz --reg /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}gtmpvc.output.spmreg/aux/rbv2anat.lta --hemi lh --projfrac 0.5 --o /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}gtmpvc.output.spmreg/lh.mgx.ctxgm.fsaverage.pvc.VT.sm00.proj-0.5.nii.gz --cortex --trgsubject fsaverage #mri_vol2surf --mov /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}gtmpvc.output.spmreg/rbv.nii.gz --reg /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}gtmpvc.output.spmreg/aux/rbv2anat.lta --hemi rh --projfrac 0.5 --o /autofs/cluster/atassigp/Users/Donatienne/Analyses_freesurfer/recon_flair/VT/VT/${word}gtmpvc.output.spmreg/rh.mgx.ctxgm.fsaverage.pvc.VT.sm00.proj-0.5.nii.gz --cortex --trgsubject fsaverage followed by smoothing, concatening and then a group comparison. However then I obtained the following error: ERROR: cannot find /usr/local/freesurfer/stable6_0_0/average/mult-comp-cor/fsaverage/lh/cortex/fwhm37/pos/th13/mc-z.csd Kind regards Donatienne

nu_correct: Command not found
by Ian Hardingham 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello all. I am attempting to run recon-all in a docker container. I have a set of commands to set up the system, and on my local machine (Ubuntu) it works fine. However on the docker container (also Ubuntu) I get nu_correct: Command not found. I imagine there is some software that is required that I haven't installed on the container image - does anyone have any idea what it might be? 1. I have run these commands: source /usr/local/freesurfer/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh export PATH=/usr/local/freesurfer/bin:PATH=/usr/local/freesurfer/mni/bin:$PATH 2. I have set FREESURFER_HOME Attached at the end is some output from both failing and successful runs. 3. nu_correct exists in freesurfer/mni/bin 4. Perl is present and correct on both systems.

Hi Chhavi can you post this type of question to the FS list (which I'll cc on my response)? You only need to give recon-all a single dicom slice that is from the correct series. If the rest of the dicoms are in the same dir we will find them and properly assemble the volume from them. cheers Bruce On Mon, 25 Mar 2019, Chhavi Yadav wrote: > > External Email - Use Caution > > Hi Bruce, is there a way I can do recon-all -autorecon1 for all the slices for a subject without > using the -i flag?

Special image protocol
by mustafa amin 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear member, I am really new with this freesurfer, just need to ask 1 question. Is there a special image protocol before running the MRI and then upload it to freesurfer? Please share your thoughts. Thank you for your kind attention and cooperation. Yours faithfully, Mustafa M.

tract all prep error mv: cannot stat ?/project/3015068.01/sub030/dmri/dwi_orig_las.nii.gz?: No such file or directory
by Camerino, .I.L. (Ileana) 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Hallo, I wrote to the mailing list last Monday because after running tract-all prep I got the following error: segmentation fault (core dumped). I tried to run tract-all prep with more gb (50 gb). Now, I do not get anymore the tract-all.e file containing the message: segmentation fault (core dumped) but I get another error (see attachment). The tract-all.e is empty and the tract-all.o and .log give a more clear error. It says: "mv: cannot stat ?/project/3015068.01/ilecam/RUNDMC_dwi_2015/subset_declined_constant/test_tracula/freesurfer/tracula_out/sub030/sub030/dmri/dwi_orig_las.nii.gz?: No such file or directory Linux dccn-c029.dccn.nl 4.4.121-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 11 14:33:50 EDT 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux trac-preproc exited with ERRORS at wo mrt 27 18:26:20 CET 2019" A bit earlier in the tract-all o file, it seems looking for this file but it also says: "INFO: input image orientation is LAS INFO: input image determinant is -15.625 than it will try to tranform dwi_orig.nii in LAS" It seems odd to me that the program is trying to tranform the dwi.nii in LAS orientation when it says that the file is already in LAS orientation. Maybe the first issue was insufficient memory. Now it cannot find this dwi_orig_file. Please, do you have any idea/suggestion about how to solve this error? Thank you in advance Cheers Ileana

Questions regarding Hippocampal Subfields And Nuclei Of Amygdala module
by Jessica Bourgin 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I am interested in the Hippocampal Subfields And Nuclei Of Amygdala module and have a few questions regarding its functionalities. Regarding the segmentation of amygdala nuclei, you say that currently, "volumes of the nuclei must be interpreted with caution". What does it mean exactly ? Can these volumes be used for comparison between patients and controls, or must we wait for further test ? I would like to create masks from this module and use these masks in functional connectivity analysis (Conn toolbox). Is it possible and if so, how can I do that ? You mention that the freesurfer command "recon-all" must be used before the segmentation of the nuclei is performed. I tried this and recon-all took about 7 hours to compute on one subject. I plan to use this module on 150 subjects, so do you know if there is a way to speed up data processing ? Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Jessica BOURGIN Laboratoire de Psychologie et Neurocognition CNRS UMR 5105 Université Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB) BP 1104 73011 Chambery Cedex France
