Hello Freesurfer Developers, 

 

am trying to use run freesurfer that is configured inside smriprep.workflow.anatomical.py under init_anat_preproc_wf pipeline. this workflow, does the following:

 

1. T1w reference: realigning and then averaging T1w images
2. Brain Extraction and INU (bias field) correction (antsBrainExtraction.sh)
3. Brian tissue segmentation (@fsl_fast)
4. Spatial normalization to standard space (antsRegistration)
5. Surface reconstruction with Freesurfer

 

When it gets to step 5, it takes skull-stripped t1, ants_segm, and bias_corrected image to use in freesurfer recon-all command. In the surface reconstruction section, it starts by running the following command: 

 

recon-all -autorecon1 

-i /path-to /sub-03_ses-20140624_T1w.nii 

-T2 /path-to/sub-03_ses-20140624_T2w.nii 

-noskullstrip 

-hires 

-openmp 1 

-subjid sub-03 

-sd /Users/abdollahis2/Desktop/fcd_nipype/derivatives/freesurfer 

-expert /Users/abdollahis2/Desktop/fcd_nipype/single_subject_03/anat_preproc_wf/surface_recon_wf/_subject_id_03/autorecon1/expert.opts

 

And surely soon, it gives me an error that it can not read mgh file (brainmask.mgz). looking into freesurfer/sub-03/mri directory I can see that brainmask.mgz is not created and I am not sure if this is because the option -noskullstrip was used? I have attached the recon-all.log file. I would appreciate any suggestion on how to debug this problem.
