Hi Gio,

 

just a wild guess… Was the temporal lobe cut off after skull stripping? In my experience there are quite a few failures in skull stripping with high resolution data, especially better than 0.7mm.

 

Potential workarounds:

·         Run recon-all without hires flag for autorecon1. Upsample the brainmask.mgz to native resolution and use it to mask the T1.mgz of your hires data.

·         I use SPM for bias field correction currently and create a brainmask from the segmentations created in that process.

Best,

Falk

Betreff: [Freesurfer] Recon-all Hires Segmentation Failure

 

Dear Freesurfer Developers,

 

I am trying to segment the grey matter and pial surface using the FreeSurfer command recon-all with the hires flag. But even though there is no error while executing my code, when I analyze the output surfaces, the segmentation is missing some areas in the brain (I attached an image to show these brain regions).

 

My command is:

 

recon-all -all -s $SUBJ -hires -i $IMAGE -expert $EXPERT_FILE

 

My expert file contains:

 

mri_em_register -p .5

mris_fix_topology -s 50

mris_inflate -n 100

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to troubleshoot my problem?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Gio.
