FYI: I just found a bug where recon-all will exit with error the second time it is run. This will be fixed in the final release. doug

mri_synthseg on Mac M3
by Tom Kirk 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

External Email - Use Caution Dear all, I have followed the instructions on the following thread to get synthseg and synthstrip working on a Mac M1 running Mac OS 14.4.1. https://secure-web.cisco.com/1z0NvcyulyAlPNPdO0aoX9HmzbTLQxZpEv8dVkKqSnsr7R… I downloaded version 7.4.1 dev arm64 from the link but still see issues with mri_synthstrip: the command sometimes fails and I’ve noticed the command peaks at 48GB of RAM usage (I have 16 available). mri_synthseg does complete in about 4 minutes. Can anyone suggest a fix for synthstrip please? In general when I call the command at the terminal it completes, when I call it from a pipeline it fails. Kind regards, Tom Kirk

Systematic difference in volume between baseline and longitudinal pipelines
by Sandhitsu Das 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

External Email - Use Caution It seems the original posting did not go through likely because it had an attachment. Here it is again. I have seen some threads from a few years ago discussing differences in thickness, and we see this in volume as well (v6). I had an attached plot for left caudate volume in the original post which showed larger volumes in the long pipeline. I understand it is not meaningful to compare the base and long pipeline values, but I would like to understand the reasons behind it, particularly the directionality of the bias seen in the scatter.

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_convert: Command terminated by signal 9
by Huang, Yujing 11 Nov '24

I’m not sure what happened. I see you have three mri_convert runs. Each time it behaves differently. Can you try the following without invoking your makefile? 1. install Freesurfer 7.4.1 2. register and get a license file, put it in your home directory. set FS_LICENSE environment variable to point to the license file. 3. source Freesurfer 7.4.1 4. set SUBJECTS_DIR 5. run mri_convert command (use ‘which mri_convert’ to see where the command is located) Yujing From: Noah Reardon <nreardon(a)umich.edu> Sent: Monday, November 11, 2024 3:09 PM To: Freesurfer support list <freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Cc: Jeffrey Neal <jsneal(a)umich.edu>; Huang, Yujing <YHUANG43(a)mgh.harvard.edu>; fsbuild(a)contbay.com Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] mri_convert: Command terminated by signal 9 External Email - Use Caution Hi all, Please see the attached screenshot demonstrating how mri convert is getting deleted when we try to use it.

Hello Freesurfer Developers, I am working with a lab who is trying to use freesurfer command: Make recon-all -k which fails with: command terminated by signal 9. If we try re-running it, we have to remove the folder created by it before we can re-run the command again, which will then report missing files such as mri_convert along with a few others that magically disappear from the bin folder. Everything works on version 7.1.1 as it should but they want to use 7.4.1 to make use of some more functions and version 7.4.1 is the version we are having the issue with.

External Email - Use Caution Dear FS experts, I have longitudinal data: Three time-points [T1-T3] with an interval of about 6 months between T1 and T2 and 6 months between T2 and T3 from a control group as well as from a clinical group (again three time-points [T1-T3] with an interval of about 6 months between T1 and T2 and 6 months between T2 and T3). Sample sizes are: - For control group: 48 (for T1), 36 (for T2) and 33 (for T3) - For clinical group: 38 (for T1), 33 (for T2) and 31 (for T3) I was wondering if it's fine to consider and combine three time-points within each group as independent samples for classification purposes (i.e., N = 117 (48+36+33) for the control group and N = 102 (38+33+31) for clinical group) between the two groups (based on brain morphometry measures). If so, I was wondering whether the recon-all should be done in the longitudinal way ( https://secure-web.cisco.com/17EJvCDRair_uWYfmRy5gjgpT3fQihw2Qeo96vmyp96h9n…) i.e., making it unbiased towards a specific time-point, OR, the recon all should be run cross-sectionally so that we can keep all the time-points independent from each other. Any detailed explanation/justification would be really helpful. Also, I would greatly appreciate the response at earliest convenience. Thanks, M

NextBrain - CUDA out of memory error
by Boa Sorte Silva, Narlon 08 Nov '24

Hi there, I am playing around with NextBrain with a dataset of individuals with large white matter lesions, and I am noticing that in 10% of the cases NextBrain fails to finish due to a OOM error, such as this: RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 1.08 GiB (GPU 0; 31.73 GiB total capacity; 28.54 GiB already allocated; 1.00 GiB free; 30.30 GiB reserved in total by PyTorch) If reserved memory is >> allocated memory try setting max_split_size_mb to avoid fragmentation. See documentation for Memory Management and PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF I have tried to adjust the max_split_size_mb parameter to circumvent the problem (PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=max_split_size_mb:512) but it is still failing for some individuals. Do you guys have any inputs about how to deal with this? For context, I am using a cluster with two 32GB GPUs with additional 10 CPUs. Thanks! Nárlon External Email - Use Caution
