Longitudinal base processing error
by Nelson, Eric (Campus) 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

External Email - Use Caution Hello all, I am using the longitudinal pipeline and keep getting the following error when generating the base for one of our subjects. I have 3 timepoints I am including. I have checked the nu.mgz and orig.mgz files for both the base and each time point. Everything looks fine with the exception of the nu.mgz for timepoint 1 (which is a solid white and looks like a mask). Could this be the problem? I have re-run recon-all for that cross sectional subject, but the image remains the same. Attached the full recon-all.log from the base output. 3d normalization pass 1 of 2 error: MRInormFindControlPoints: could not find enough control points error: MRInormFindControlPoints failed @#@FSTIME 2024:08:16:18:05:30 mri_normalize N 10 e 10.45 S 0.04 U 10.40 P 99% M 434992 F 0 R 10859 W 0 c 4 w 11 I 0 O 0 L 1.14 0.90 0.57 @#@FSLOADPOST 2024:08:16:18:05:40 mri_normalize N 10 1.19 0.92 0.58 Linux c0235 3.10.0-1160.24.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 25 21:21:56 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Best, Eric Nelson, Ph.D. | Postdoctoral Fellow Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurobiology School of Medicine UAB | The University of Alabama at Birmingham

pial surface correction doesn't work
by Atena Akbari 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer team, I edited my "brainmask.mgz" file to remove some voxels related to non-brain areas and then re-ran the recon-all with this command: Recon-all -s subjid -autorecon-pial -hires However, when I checked my pial surface it seems like it hasn't been corrected for (please see the attached photo with blue arrows). I greatly appreciate your help on this matter. Thank you very much. Atena

TRACULA with multi-shell DWI

External Email - Use Caution Hey, I am currently analyzing HARDI DWI data, with the following bvals: 0 2500 2500 1000 1800 1800 2500 1800 1800 1000 2500 1000 1000 2500 2500 1000 1000 0 1800 2500 2500 2500 1800 2500 2500 2500 1000 1800 1800 2500 1000 1800 1000 2500 0 2500 2500 1000 1800 2500 2500 2500 1800 2500 1800 1000 1800 2500 1000 1000 1800 0 2500 2500 2500 2500 1800 1800 2500 1800 2500 1800 1800 1800 2500 1800 2500 1000 0 1800 2500 2500 1800 2500 2500 1800 2500 1000 1000 1800 2500 2500 1800 2500 2500 0 1800 2500 2500 2500 2500 1000 1800 2500 2500 2500 2500 2500 1800 1800 1800 1800 0 2500 1800 2500 1800 1800 2500 1800 2500 2500 2500 2500 1000 2500 2500 1800 1000 0 1000 2500 2500 2500 1800 2500 1800 1800 I wanted to know whether it is possible/ or whether it makes sense to run the TRACULA pipeline on multi-shell DWI data. I got some results, but I don't know whether they are really valid because TRACULA is supposed to work with single-shell data, correct? Thank you in advance! Best Anna

PetSurfer: PET SUVR analysis
by WONG Wan Wa 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

External Email - Use Caution Hi FS experts, I want to do PET SUVR analysis using PetSurfer. When determining the FWHM of the PSF of the scanner, is it the same value for Siemens (Biograph40_mCT vs. Biograph128_mCT) or (Biograph64_Vision 600 vs. Biograph128_Vision 600 Edge)? We also have data collected with GE scanner. Are we able to use the ComBat to do harmonization for all calculated SUVR values across different sites/scanners with the use of same tracer (e.g. PiB)? Thanks, Angel

How to change mri_convert --conform to use another flag while running recon-all
by Jeiran Choupan 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer support team, I noticed that the interpolation setting used within the first few steps of recon-all within the “mri_convert INPUT OUTPUT —conform” is reducing the data quality for data that has a rectangular field of view. I need to use the `mri_convert` with another flag setting, and I was wondering if there’s a way to smoothly do this. This command is used twice within the recon-all. And I only need to change the second time it is used. The first time is to rename/convert the original file to “mri/orig/001.mgz”, and the second time, is when "/mri/rawavg.mgz “ will be converted to “mri/orig.mgz” using “—conform”. I only need to change the second time it is used, and I need to use the flag “--resample_type cubic “. Any help is much appreciated Kind regards, Jeiran Jeiran Choupan, PhD, MSCS Assistant Professor of Research Neurology Laboratory of Neuro Imaging USC Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute Keck School of Medicine University of Southern California 2025 Zonal Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90033, USA (323) 44-BRAIN [image001.png] [image002.png]

PetSurfer: how to convert nopvc.nii.gz to a format like gtm.stats.dat?
by WONG Wan Wa 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

External Email - Use Caution Hi experts, As stated in the subject, how to convert "nopvc.nii.gz" generated by "mri_gtmpvc" to a format like "gtm.stats.dat"? Moreover, how to consolidate all "gtm.stats.dat"'s PVC uptake values of ROIs from different subjects in one spreadsheet? Is there any existing command to do that? Thanks, Angel

Re: [Freesurfer] Ubuntu 24.04 compatibility? (libc6 < 2.36, libncurses5)
by fsbuild 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

External Email - Use Caution  We are aware that changes to the system libraries in Ubuntu 24 prevent installing packages, e.g., freesurfer, that otherwise install in Ubuntu 22.   The plan is to start development builds of Freesurfer on Ubuntu 24 after this years point release of Freesurfer.   Ubuntu 22.04 LTS was made generally available in April of 2022 with the standard 5 year support cycle from Canonical. - R.

Re: [Freesurfer] recon-all terminates at fix topology rh step
by fsbuild 16 Aug '24

External Email - Use Caution  You’re using the 7.2.0 release from 2021 whereas the latest release is 7.4.1 from 2023.   Unless you have to stick with the older release because floating point math results could differ with a newer one, then you could try downloading and installing the 7.4.1 release from the links under “7.4.1 Release” at the top of the page, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/rel7downloadsOr try just running the subject that fails with the 7.4.1 release to see if it makes a difference. - R.
