I just tried a few different versions of FreeSurfer. Here are the results:

1. FreeSurfer-5.3 (Linux, CentOS 6, Release: 05/15/2013)
2. FreeSurfer-5.3 (Darwin, Lion, Release: 05/15/2013)
3. FreeSurfer-dev (Linux, CentOS 6, 06/19/2014)
4. FreeSurfer-dev (Darwin, Lion, 06/19/2014)

I am comparing the results of mri_label2label and then mris_anatomical_stats here.

The results of 3 and 4 are the same
The results of 1 and 2 are different
The results of 1 and 3 are different
The results or 2 and 4 are different

In my testing, I used an arbitrary label file and here is detail information of area, volume, thickness, thicknessstd, meancurv, gauscurv, foldind, and curvind

1: 1261.0,4900.0,2.763,0.818,0.145,0.048,28.0,3.7
2: 1109.0,4343.0,2.761,0.798,0.15,0.046,23.0,2.8
3: 1261.0,4900.0,2.763,0.818,0.132,0.032,22.0,2.3
4: 1261.0,4900.0,2.763,0.818,0.132,0.032,22.0,2.3

What should we do here? Is the difference between 1 and 3 trivial?

Thanks!
Daniel

Ah, it¹s FreeSurfer 5.3 ‹ Release Date 15 May 2013.

Do you mean that the FreeSurfer 5.3 was updated after 05/15/2013?

Thanks,

what version are you using? I think this is a bug we fixed a few months

Dear all,
I found that mri_label2label generates different results, depending on
whether the software¹s platform is MacOS Lion or CentOS 6.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
Daniel
