This won't be good for the cc.* tracts for sure (in the new version we have the entire CC covered with 7 subdivisions). TRACULA learns how often the n-th point along tract X falls in or next to label Y from the structural segmentation. If it's learned that a tract goes through label Y=254 half way along its trajectory, and where our segmentation has label 254 yours has something else, it won't a great situation. It could still work though, because other terms of the objective function will drive the fitting (the likelihood term that fits the shape of the tracts to the diffusion orientations, or the anatomical priors in other points along the tract). In general, I'm still surprised by how robust TRACULA turns out to be to various types of snafus. So it's worth trying. ________________________________ From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> on behalf of Alexopoulos, Dimitrios <dimitriosalexopou...@wustl.edu> Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2021 2:59 PM To: Freesurfer support list <freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Using only a aparc+aseg input file for TRACULA
External Email - Use Caution External Email - Use Caution Anastasia, Upon closer inspection the aparc+aseg we have are analogous to the FS labeling, however, the CC is not segmented, it is simply labelled as cortical WM (labels 2/41). Will using Tracula even work at all or will it generate the other tracts but not include the CC minor/major tracts?

Note that, for the new TRACULA (in FS 7.2), we recommend also running the thalamic nuclei segmentation, as it helps with the accuracy of the tracts that terminate or neighbor the thalamus.

Is this correct? How would we run trac-all if we only had an aprc+aseg from another pipeline that generates FS-compatible outputs? For example, trac-all -preproc -bedp -path -c (where c = dmrirc config file).
