Hi Diana It’s not the number of defects that matters – it is the large ones. The time it takes to correct them is square in the (convex hull of the) number of vertices in the defect. We have a tutorial on our website about how to find them and fix them. I find it easiest to load the ?h.orig.nofix over the wm.mgz and norm.mgz then load the ?h.defect_labels to onto the ?h.orig.nofix to color the vertices that are in a defect

Once we make sense of the origin of the issue (for example, I confirmed that my smoothwm.nofix has a lot of holes), do you know if is there any way to solve it? Could the data be modified in some way to get through this step? Thanks a lot for your great help!! Best wishes, Diana Ortega.

Try loading the ?h.smoothwm.nofix in surface viewing (not in the volume). You can often see defects better on this surface (they look likes holes or handles; you should at least see some) On 6/1/2021 4:55 PM, Ellen Ji wrote: External Email - Use Caution Hi Doug, when you say it did not finish, could you clarify what process "it" refers to? I loaded the files you suggested and nothing popped out to me aside from the fact that the wm.mgz didn't seem to cover all the white matter. Is it possible that topology error labels don't necessarily suggest that something went wrong and I can trust the results? Thanks. On 6/1/2021 2:51 AM, Douglas N.

YOu can try just loading the brain.mgz, the wm.mgz, and the orig.nofix and see if you can find a big topo error On 5/31/2021 11:16 AM, Ellen Ji wrote: External Email - Use Caution Dear experts, mris_fix_topology has been running for several hours now and the log suggests many more defects than normal.
