Re: [Freesurfer] mri_surf2vol error: mri_read(): code inconsistency (file type recognized but not caught)

External Email - Use Caution

Hi Doug,

I see thanks! Would --srclabel and --trglabel be identical in my case? i.e., something like this: freesurferCommand = f'mri_label2label --srclabel {surf_label_file} --trglabel {surf_label_file} --outmask {out_mask_file} --hemi {hID} --s { participant} --regmethod surface'

Corresponding bash code:

mri_label2label --srclabel /Users/ldaumail3/Documents/research/ampb_mt_tractometry_analysis/ampb/analysis/functional_surf_roi/sub-NSxLxYKx1964/sub-NSxLxYKx1964_hemi-L_space-fsnative_label-MT_mask.label --trglabel /Users/ldaumail3/Documents/research/ampb_mt_tractometry_analysis/ampb/analysis/functional_surf_roi/sub-NSxLxYKx1964/sub-NSxLxYKx1964_hemi-L_space-fsnative_label-MT_mask.label --outmask /Users/ldaumail3/Documents/research/ampb_mt_tractometry_analysis/ampb/analysis/functional_surf_roi/sub-NSxLxYKx1964/sub-NSxLxYKx1964_hemi-L_space-fsnative_label-MT_mask.nii.gz --hemi lh --s sub-NSxLxYKx1964 --regmethod surface

Thanks, Best, -Loïc

surf2vol does not take labels as an input. Instead, use mri_label2label to convert it to a mask, then use mri_surf2vol on the mask

Dear all,

I am trying to convert label files into volume ROI masks.

This is my command below:

mri_surf2vol --surfval /Users/ldaumail3/Documents/research/ampb_mt_tractometry_analysis/ampb/analysis/functional_surf_roi/sub-NSxLxYKx1964/sub-NSxLxYKx1964_hemi-L_space-fsnative_label-MT_mask.label --o /Users/ldaumail3/Documents/research/ampb_mt_tractometry_analysis/ampb/analysis/fonctional_vol_roi/sub-NSxLxYKx1964/sub-NSxLxYKx1964_hemi-L_space-fsnative_label-MT_mask.nii.gz --identity sub-NSxLxYKx1964 --hemi lh --fillribbon --template /Users/ldaumail3/Documents/research/ampb_mt_tractometry_analysis/ampb/derivatives/freesurfer/sub-NSxLxYKx1964/mri/brain.mgz

I get this error:

Any idea what would cause this? Is it because the labels weren't saved in the correct format?

Thanks,

Best,
