Hi Marie:

I have the same problem. I am doing LGI on a group of Genetic High Risk (for Schizophrenia) subjects (n=77).

Here is what I got for one brain:

WARNING -- Problem for vertex iV = 57001, lGI value is aberrantly high (lGI=47.4609)...
...lGI computation will be stopped. This may be caused by topological defects, check mris_euler_number on the pial surface.

ERROR: compute_lgi did not create output file '/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/HM5103/surf/tmp-mris_compute_lgi-rh.pial/rh.pial_lgi.asc'!
Linux NeuroImage-Gamma 2.6.32.26-175.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 1 21:39:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

recon-all exited with ERRORS at Tue Jun 28 06:20:34 EDT 2011


Do I do the same thing that you recommended?

thanks,

Alan

Wayne,

You can try to rerun the surface reconstruction (recon-all -autorecon2-wm -randomness, in order to change the number of vertices, and then recon-all -autorecon3) and then rerun the lgi process (recon-all -lgi), this should solve the problem. If not, please let me know.

Hello,

I am using FS 5.1 to measure lGI (local Gyrification Index). Only one particular scan failed. Here are some messages:

“... remeasuring lGI value for vertex iV = 65101. It may take a few minutes.

I re-run the recon-all -s 01_097_Y0 -hemi lh -autorecon2 –autorecon3
and  recon-all -s 01_097_Y0 -localGI

It stopped at the same vertex.

Could you please let me know anything I can do to overcome this issue? Thank you very much.

Wayne
