External Email - Use Caution

Dear list,

I'm new to freesurfer and would like to create a volumetric region of interest from the Destrieux atlas labels, to mask my spm12 results. All my images have been normalised so I just need the mask in avg305T1 space.

I tried running the following command: mri_label2vol --label ctx-lh-S_intraparietal-and_Parietal_transverse.label --temp [MATLAB_PATH]/spm12/canonical/avg305T1.nii --o [PATH_TO_OUTPUT_DIR]/test.mgz --reg /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/mri/brainmask.mgz

I get the following print-out and error message: $Id: mri_label2vol.c,v 1.46 2014/12/08 21:11:54 greve Exp $ Template RAS-to-Vox: -------- -0.50000 -0.00000 -0.00000 45.50000; -0.00000 -0.00000 -0.50000 54.50000; -0.00000 0.50000 -0.00000 45.50000; -0.00000 -0.00000 -0.00000 1.00000; Template Voxel Volume: 8 nHits Thresh: 0 Loading registration from /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/mri/brainmask.mgz regio_read_register(): Success Error reading inplaneres from /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/mri/brainmask.mgz

As I'm new to freesurfer, I'm probably missing something simple. I've tried searching the archives (e.g., I found this https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2011-April/018159.htm...) and notice that many use register.dat as the --reg input, and I assume this is where the problem arises here. However, I'm not sure how to go about generating this file, as I'm using the average brain: Do I need to run a full surface reconstruction on the avg305T1.nii file? Or is there a simpler way to get around this? I have mni152.register.dat in my freesurfer directory but no mni305.register.dat equivalent.

Thanks in advance for your help with this,

Emma
