DPABISurf: A Surface-Based Resting-State fMRI Data Analysis Toolbox
by YAN Chao-Gan 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the release of DPABISurf! DPABISurf is a surface-based resting-state fMRI data analysis toolbox evolved from DPABI/DPARSF, as easy-to-use as DPABI/DPARSF. DPABISurf is based on fMRIPprep 1.3.0.post3 (Esteban et al., 2018)(RRID:SCR_016216), and based on FreeSurfer 6.0.1 (Dale et al., 1999)(RRID:SCR_001847), ANTs 2.2.0 (Avants et al., 2008)(RRID:SCR_004757), FSL 5.0.9 (Jenkinson et al., 2002)(RRID:SCR_002823), AFNI 20160207 (Cox, 1996)(RRID:SCR_005927), SPM12 (Ashburner, 2012)(RRID:SCR_007037), PALM alpha112 (Winkler et al., 2016), GNU Parallel (Tange, 2011), MATLAB (The MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA, US) (RRID:SCR_001622), Docker (https://docker.com) (RRID:SCR_016445), and DPABI V4.0 (Yan et al., 2016)(RRID:SCR_010501). DPABISurf provides user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for pipeline surface-based preprocessing, statistical analyses and results viewing, while requires no programming/scripting skills from the users. <http://www.rfmri.org/dpabi> The DPABISurf pipeline first converts the user specified data into BIDS format (Gorgolewski et al., 2016), and then calls fMRIPprep 1.3.0.post3 docker to preprocess the structural and functional MRI data, which integrates FreeSurfer, ANTs, FSL and AFNI. With fMRIPprep, the data is processed into FreeSurfer fsaverage5 surface space and MNI volume space. DPABISurf further performs nuisance covariates regression (including ICA-AROMA) on the surface-based data (volume-based data is processed as well), and then calculate the commonly used R-fMRI metrics: amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) (Zang et al., 2007), fractional ALFF (Zou et al., 2008), regional homogeneity (Zang et al., 2004), degree centrality (Zuo and Xing, 2014), and seed-based functional connectivity. DPABISurf also performs surface-based smoothing by calling FreeSurfer’s mri_surf2surf command. These processed metrics then enters surfaced-based statistical analyses within DPABISurf, which could perform surfaced-based permutation test with TFCE by integrating PALM. Finally, the corrected results could be viewed by the convenient surface viewer DPABISurf_VIEW, which is derived from spm_mesh_render.m. <http://www.rfmri.org/dpabi> DPABISurf is designed to make surface-based data analysis require minimum manual operations and almost no programming/scripting experience. We anticipate this open-source toolbox will assist novices and expert users alike and continue to support advancing R-fMRI methodology and its application to clinical translational studies. DPABISurf is open-source and distributed under GNU/GPL, available with DPABI at http://www.rfmri.org/dpabi. It supports Windows 10 Pro, MacOS and Linux operating systems. You can run it with or without MATLAB. 1. With MATLAB. 1.1. Please go to http://www.rfmri.org/dpabi to download DPABI. 1.2. Add with subfolders for DPABI in MATLAB's path setting. 1.3.

GLM twin design
by Julian Macoveanu 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear FS List, I wanted to check if my GLM design for a surface based analysis is sound. I am new to FS so please don’t skip over details. I have 3 groups of monozygotic twins: low-risk, high-risk, ill. Twin pairs may be present in the same group (e.g both are in the low-risk) or between groups (one of them in high-risk one in affected). Not all twins have their co-twin in the analysis though. In order to account for with-pair variance correlation I was wondering if this FSGD example with 9 subjects might do it or if there might be better options. GroupDescriptorFile 1 Title … Class LR Class HR Class ILL Variables age sex TIV Pair_no1 Pair_no2 Pair_no3 Input subject1 LR 30 M 123456 1 0 0 Input subject2 LR 30 M 123456 1 0 0 Input subject3 LR 23 F 123456 0 0 0 Input subject4 HR 20 F 123456 0 1 0 Input subject5 HR 21 F 123456 0 0 1 Input subject6 HR 22 M 123456 0 0 0 Input subject7 ILL 20 F 123456 0 1 0 Input subject8 ILL 21 F 123456 0 0 1 Input subject9 ILL 35 F 123456 0 0 0 I do have 60+ pairs so it will be a lot of variables. I know that PALM has an options to provide an exchangeability file, but FsPalm seems to perform corrections for multiple comparisons only. Julian

回复： How to extract cortical features of a ROI
by 310913949 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Hi Bruce， The ‘mris_anatomical_stats‘’ and 'mri_segstats’ command line just output mean thickness of ROI, but I want to know cortical thickness for each vertex in the ROI. So I think the key is to find the coordination of each vertex in the ROI,but I dont know how. I found that the RAS coordinates in the lh.cortex.label do not correspond to the coordinates in the lh.thickness. ------------------ 原始邮件 ------------------ 发件人: "Bruce Fischl"<fischl(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>; 发送时间: 2019年3月5日(星期二) 晚上11:35 收件人: "Freesurfer support list"<freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>; 主题: Re: [Freesurfer] How to extract cortical features of a ROI Hi Kan you can give the surface-based label to mris_anatomical_stats and it will constrain it's calculations to the label (where it makes sense): mris_anatomical_stats -l <path to your label> ... you can probably do it with mri_segstats too - Doug will know cheers Bruce On Tue, 5 Mar 2019, 310913949 wrote: > > External Email - Use Caution > > Hi bruce?? > I still have some questions about extracting cortical features of a ROI.

Processing MEMPRAGE
by Rusche, Johann 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Dear Freesurfers, Reading through the mailing list I understood how to process our nmr MEPRAGEs and I would like to double-check we are using unpacksdcmdir correctly. Unpacking with unpacksdcmdir gives me two nifti files, a 4-echo nifti file (92MB) and a 1-echo nifti file (23MB). Am I correct to understand that the smaller 1-echo nifti file is the RMS created automatically? Can you confirm that this is the file that I want to send to recon-all vis-a-vis VBM processing? >From the unpacklog: 7 MEMPRAGE_tfl_mgh_multiecho_1mm_iso ok 256 256 176 4 MR.1.3.12.2.1107.5.2.19.45407.2014103021271096561867095 8 MEMPRAGE_tfl_mgh_multiecho_1mm_iso ok 256 256 176 1 MR.1.3.12.2.1107.5.2.19.45407.2014103021271165037167199 Thanks for your time!

Should I edit or reject?
by Ryan Wales 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Hi, Although there are many ways to correct for pial, WM, and segmentation defects, it seems common in the literature to forego any edits and simply either accept or reject a subject's FreeSurfer output in order to avoid subjectivity and potential over-editing. Another group rejected subjects if their defects spanned 6 or more slices, for example. Are there any guide lines on how much editing is too much editing? Should it just be edited enough so it looks tolerable by eye? Maybe by a few different raters? The defects vary in their severity, so it's difficult to know if a subject should be considered passable or requiring edits based on a minor defect. My current plan is to conduct my analysis once with excluding subjects with poor segmentation and then again, including those subjects' edited outputs. Do you agree with this logic? Thanks for your advice, Ryan -- Ryan Wales Graduate Student Cognition and Motor Control Neuroscience Laboratory Integrative Neuroscience Psychology Department Stony Brook University E-mail: ryan.wales(a)stonybrook.edu <ryanwales(a)stonybrook.edu>

External Email - Use Caution Hi Bruce, Yes, the brains were registered in fsaverage space. The issue I am facing is my sig.mgh output from GLM will not convert into a .nii file using mri_convert. I am trying to load them both as overlays not view them directly. The sig.mgh file loads fine, it is the .nii file that sees the problem. Similarly, if I do GLM directly with a .nii output, I see the same issues. You asked me to run mri_info on both the .mgh and .nii.gz files, which I gave in my previous email. Please let me know how to proceed from here!

Considering that all our T1 images were manually edited on a slice-by-slice basis to correct pial surface misplacements and erroneous white matter segmentation, which volume measure of the EC would be more precise? I assume that gray matter volume contained in ?h.BA_exvivo.thresh.stats were thresholded at a specific probability value (% of case overlapping). Which probability value was used? Is there a reference paper explaining how probabilistic maps of EC were built based on ex vivo MRI contrast? Thank you in advance. Best, Jose L. Cantero

Surface Misplacement
by Banu Femir 05 Mar '19

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I've a problem about surface placement. For my PhD thesis, I've been analyzing T1 images of 103 AD, MCI and SCI subjects. I'm using FS 6.0 stable version on Linux. Some of my data, especially AD data have a surface problem. White matter includes both white and gray matter, and CSF is included as a gray matter. So, it looks like the surfaces has shifted. (The MR images do not have any lesion). Until now, I tried to clean dura for one subject, but nothing changed. I also run reconall again for another subject, got the same result. All done in FreeView. I do not know what to do in this case. It looks like troubleshooting does not solve my problem, since mine is very complicated. I would be so happy if anyone has an idea of what can I try to do? Many thanks in advance, Banu.
