Thanks for your reply.
So I did these steps to get the values from the spherical ROI that I created and got the below error:

Try using --pdf sphere --sphere-center 150 138 116 --radius 5
instead of delta

thanks for you reply.
So, how should I define the size of the sphere around that coordinate?
I am trying to make a subcortical 5 mm sphere ROI around that talairach coordinate. 

Thanks

remove --dim 5 5 5 5
this tells it to make the output volume 5 voxels

Hi Doug

Thanks for your reply.
I did so, I'm getting the error below:

line 43:  8101 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) mri_volsynth --template $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/mri/brainmask.mgz --c_ras -21.8 -12.2 -10.3 --pdf delta --delta-crsf 150 138 116 0 --dim 5 5 5 5 --o delta.mgh

I appreciate your help.

Load $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/mri/brainmask.mgz into freeview and find the voxel where you want it to be centered. Then run
mri_volsynth as you have below but add --delta-crsf C R S 0
where C, R, S are the col, row, slice from the voxel you found in freeview

Hi

I am trying to make a subcortical 5 mm sphere ROI around a talairach coordinate. I am using the below command, but when I visualize it, it doesn’t look at the correct location. I see the same question in forum (https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg67295.html), I should probably use -pdf delta but I don’t know how to get the col, row and slice indices of the vertex where it should go.

mri_volsynth --template $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/mri/brainmask.mgz --c_ras -21.8 -12.2 -10.3  --dim 5 5 5 5 —o new.mgh

I appreciate your help.

Thanks
Mona
