Hi David
Try editing the base wm.mgz first instead of editing the long and cross wm files. Rerun autorecon2-wm and autorecon3 for the base dir, then completely rerun the longitudinals. The long surfaces are initialized from the base surfaces, so this could be why your wm fixes seem to have no effect. You can find more info here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalEdits#CheatSheet<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalEdits> If editing the base doesn't solve the problem, you can send me the commands you ran in order and I can look into this further. best, Andrew ________________________________ From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> on behalf of David Semanek <seman...@nyspi.columbia.edu> Sent: Monday, March 13, 2017 11:55 AM To: Bruce Fischl; Freesurfer support list Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] wm.mgz Edits Ignored With Current Dataset in FS 5.3/6 Cross and Long Streams Thanks, I have uploaded the cross and long stream processing from one subject which requires numerous white matter edits to correct defects in the white matter surfaces; the file is on the ftp server as dsemanek.zip. Both of the cross subject folders, s02_t1 and s02_t2 have had edits done to both the brainmask as well as the wm files, and autorecon2-wm and autorecon-3 have been run on them, as well as the long folder for the first time point, s02_t1.long.s02_base. It was in working with the rerun results of s02_t1.long.s02_base that I noticed the white matter surfaces after being regenerated with the edited wm.mgz did not reflect any of the edits. The easiest way to see this is to load the wm.mgz with the white matter surfaces and scroll through the slices, there are numerous areas where the contours of the white matter surfaces do not follow the voxels of the wm.mgz volume, mostly near what should be identified as hyperintense gray matter. I’m fairly certain the white matter surfaces didn’t change at all after running autorecon2-wm with the wm.mgz edits. Thanks for taking a look at our data. Best, David P.
