Hi, I am interested in just obtaining the subcortical segmentation labels and not generating surfaces. I would like to do this in as little time as possible and since I am only looking for label volumes (ie. hippocampal volumes) i figured that there must be some steps I can leave out of -autorecon2. Can anyone tell me the flags I should set to get the fastest way to generate these label files? I found: autorecon-all -subcortseg -subjid <subject> on the wiki, but it says this may take 11+ hours to complete so I thought I would just check before I batched things to run. many thanks, mishkin
yes, sorry. The subcortical segmentation is early in the processing stream, and pretty much the slowest step.

On this topic, if I *don't* want subcortical segmentation, but rather only surface generation and thickness maps, what's the best option to use for that? It seems like it might be -noaseg, but I couldn't find any references to this flag being used with human data, only with non- human primates, so I thought I'd ask before I assumed I'd figured it out.

unfortunately, you have to go thru the segmentation as that is part of the surface-based stream.

Hi, After running the -subcortseg option, i see the output volumes of certain structures on the screen. Are they stored anywhere in a text file? I checked stats/aseg.stats, and while the column headers indicate that there should be values for NVoxels and Volume_mm3, in the table those two fields are blank for all labels. Is this a bug, or is there another option I need to set to get those fields filled in? thanks, mishkin

Hi Mishkin,
Are all the fields blank in the aseg.stats table, or just for some things? It shouldn't be like this. It may be that there are some structures listed in that file that are not labeled in the aseg and then reported as a zero, but it shouldn't be all of them. Were there any error messages at the end of this particular subject's scripts/recon-all.log?

Hi Jenni, thanks for the reply. The log file says it finished without any eroors. In the aseg.stats file, none of the structures have the NVoxels of Volume_mm3 reported. I attached the file so you can see what I mean. I am using freesurfer-Linux-rh9-stable-pub-v3.0.5 on debian sarge. I ran another subject as well and my aseg.stats file appears to be the same.
The command lines I ran were: recon-all -i hippo_test_subject1_t1g_nu.mnc -autorecon1 -subjid subject1 recon-all -subcortseg -subjid subject1
did I miss anything? thanks, mishkin

you can do that, but the aseg is used to automate generation of surfaces (e.g. ventricle filling), so you would be trading computer time for human time.
