Hi all,
 What is the current best practice recommendation for using multiple T1s and/or T2s for recon-all where the sizes of the images are slightly different.

For instance: two T1w images of 0.9x0.9x0.9 and 1x1x1 resolution, however the 1x1x1 image seems to have better grey-white separation, etc...

Separately, am I correct in my assessment that presently freesurfer will only use 1 T2 or FLAIR image and isn't doing averaging?

Hi Bruce,


Total is 231111108 kB from /proc/meminfo and flair vozel size is 1.0000, 0.9766, 0.9766.


I ran quite a few recon-all after this one failed and it did not complain. It just fails when I run recon-all -autorecon3 with -bbr-init-header flag.


Thanks,
Sneha

Hi Sneha

how much RAM do you have in your machine? And what is the resolution of
your data?

hmmm, can you send us the recon-all.log file?

Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] WM lobes and Corpus Callosum

Hello Anastasia,


Thank you for your reply!


I had created the 4 WM lobes  for each hemisphere to extract regional volumes for white matter lesions in each lobe.


As some of our participants have WML in the corpus callosum very close to the midline, they are not included in the WM lobes created earlier.


Do I need to manually edit the labels for the parts of the corpus callosum between the hemispheres to have them be included in one of the lobes  ?


Or is there some alternate way to split the CC in aseg.mgz along the hemispheric midline and assign its parts to the WM in each hemisphere ?



Best,

-Prad

Hi Prad - mri_aparc2aseg assigns WM voxels to the nearest cortical region from the cortical parcellation. Which cortical region would you want to assign the corpus callosum to? What's labeled as corpus callosum in the aseg is the part of the corpus callosum between the 2 hemis.

Subject: [Freesurfer] WM lobes and Corpus Callosum

Hi,


I've been trying to create WM lobes using the following steps:


1) mri_annotation2label --lobesStrict

2) Outputting the labels from step 1, & creating a simpler annotation without limbic and insular lobes

3) Labeling the WM using mri_aparc2aseg (mri_aparc2aseg --s MySub --annot Step2AnnotationFile --labelwm --hypo-as-wm --wmpar-dmax 20 --rip-unknown


However, as the corpus callosum is not labelled as wm, it is not included in any WM lobe. 


Is there any workaround to assigning the corpus callosum to the different WM lobes or do I have to manually edit aseg.mgz to change the corpus callosum's value to match that of WM ?



Thanks,

-Prad

Hi Prad - That part of the corpus callosum belongs neither to the left nor to the right hemi, it connects the two. So any split would be arbitrary. You could write a script that finds if a voxel is closer to the left or the right hemi for example.
