Re: [Freesurfer] TRACULA tract path failure

Dear Anastasia,

Thanks for the suggestions. The new control point didn't help. Therefore I uploaded remaining images. It would be great if you could have a look again.

All the best, Arman

Hi Arman - One more thing. Do you mind sending me the original (non-skull stripped) T1 as well? We'd like to test a different registration method on it. Thanks!

Dear Anastasia,

Thanks for your response. I have sent a subject that the problem in forceps minor persists. What I have done so far was to re-run the pipeline with "reinit=1", check the eigenvectors, increase control points, switch off brain anatomical mask in dmric. It made the tracts look better for many subjects but this one still has problems in forceps minor.

Thanks, Arman

  Hi Arman - Have you ruled out any issues with the gradient

directions? In situations where the problem is wide-spread, this seems to be the usual suspect. If you've checked the eigenvectors and they're ok, can you send an example case where the problem persists? You can use this page to upload a tar ball of all the tracula-related directories of the subject: https://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.**edu/facility/filedrop/index.* *html https://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/facility/filedrop/index.html

  Thanks!

        Dear all,
        I have difficulty sorting out the problem with some tracts in

several subjects, tracts are incomplete or missing. As it has come up quite a few times on the list, for this sort of problem I have first set "reinit=1" and then increased control points to 7, and re-ran trac-all with "-prior" flag. This has worked for some tracts in several subjects, however there are a few subjects that still have this problem.

        It would be great if someone could let me know what else I

might be able to do in order to correct missing/faulty tracts in my subjects. (The problem is not limited to a specific tract, it varies in different subjects)

        All the best,
