Dear FreeSurfers,
I got an error during Fix Topology step (seems like from the right hemisphere) in the recon-all process (see below for more information).
I searched the ListServ and learned from other email threads that this may be due to incorrect segmentation of WM or Cerebellum, or possibly from skull stripping. I tried to follow the tutorial on manually fixing topological defects (http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/TopologicalDefect). However, I wasn't sure what to look for because my current result does not yet have rh.white which allows to view WM segmentation in tkmedit window (or am I right?).
What shall I do at this point? I'm very new to FreeSurfer, so it'd be great if anyone can give me some step-by-step approaches to troubleshoot this.
Thanks.
Joon
