Hi Anastasia,

You are right! There are empty spaces at the end of the lines in

original bvecs and bvals.

I could fix the error and finish trac-preproc without error by

eliminating these spaces.

Thank you so much!

There are probably some empty spaces at the end of the lines of the
original files that confuses it into introducing those zeros. If you
attach the original files, I can take a look at them.

Hi Anastasia,

I created bvals.txt and bvecs.txt using dcm2nii.
These original files were text files and set in dmrirc profile as
"set bvalfile = /path/to/bvals.txt".

I checked word count for these files
# wc -w bvals.txt bvecs.txt
65 bvals.txt
195 bvecs.txt
260 total

However, when I run "trac-all -prep -c dmrirc", then freesurfer creates
bvals and bvecs automatically in dmri folder.

Then, I check word count
# wc -w bvals bvecs
65 bvals
198 bvecs
263 total

Now, freesurfer adds 3 extra entries in the bvecs file.
As you said, there is an extra column of zeros in the end.

So, I cannot fix the error.

Hi Jun - By a simple word count on these files:

% wc -w bvals bvecs
65 bvals
198 bvecs
263 total

As you can see, there are 3 extra entries in the bvecs file. If you then
open the file, you'll see that there is an extra column of zeros in the
end. Not sure if that's what's causing the problem, but you might want to
look for empty lines at the end of your original gradient table.

Hi Anastasia,
Thank you for your e-mail.
I took 65 DWIs (5 b0 volumes and 60 direction DWIs).

I checked dwi.nii.gz in the dmri folder, and dwi.nii.gz had 65 images.
Also, I checked bvals and bvecs in the dmri folder, and they have 65 counts.
It seems consistent.
I attach bvals and bvecs. These files were created by freesurfer automatically.

Hi Jun - It's failing at the point where it tries to extract the low-b
images from the DWI series. I suspect that the number of frames in the 4D
DWI volume that is extracted from your dicom does not match the number of
frames that it expects to find based on how many gradient vectors or
b-values it's looking for. So I'd check these DWI, gradient vector and
b-value files to make sure they are all consistent.

Hope this helps,
a.y

Dear All,

I am trying to run a single subject in TRACULA (trac-all -prep -c
dmrirc), but exited with ERRORS.

ERROR: fMRIframe: frame >= nframes

The attached file is a log file.

Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance.
