Hi Veronica,
Did you try initially doing "recon-all -i $FLAIR -s $SUBJECT"?
And then, when you do the remaining recon-all steps:

recon-all -autorecon3 -s $SUBJECT -FLAIRpial

It has worked for me. (And worked very well! No edits necessary for the pial 
surface!)

Re: [Freesurfer] recon-all for multiple subjects using "for" loop

2013-04-15 Thread David Vazquez
Hello,

In our lab, we create a txt file with all the subject names (as they appear
on their respective folders).  Name that txt file whatever you want (like "*
subs.txt*") and save it somewhere in one of the paths (we use /Users/*
Home_User*).

Then in terminal, after setting the environments for Freesurfer and the
subjects directory, insert the following:

for SubjectName in `cat *subs.txt*`

do

recon-all -s $SubjectName -all -qcache

done

Make sure you have the ` (not ') on either side of the "cat" command or it
won't work.  This works for us and we have 200 subjects.

Good luck,

Re: [Freesurfer] recon-all problems [solved]

2013-04-15 Thread Nick Schmansky
Marcos,

Can you give this version of tkmedit a try on your Fedora 18 system?

ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/linux-centos6_x86_64/

you will need to copy tkmedit.bin to your freesurfer/tktools directory
(not the freesurfer/bin directory).  you may need to type this to make
it executable:

chmod a+x tkmedit.bin 

it contains a potential fix to the problem (but i dont have a way to
replicate the error to test it).

Re: [Freesurfer] QDEC questions

2013-04-15 Thread Nick Schmansky
Tudor,

In the recon-all.log, it has this line:
ERROR: writing lh.jacobian_white.fwhm15.fsaverage.mgh

but earlier in the log it saved lh.jacobian_white.fwhm10.fsaverage.mgh
correctly, so this indicates to me that it might have run out of disk
space.  is that the case?

to answer the others:
2. not sure
3. you can select discrete can a regular variate along with your main
variate.  'nuisance' variates are like any other.
4. depends on the expected 'blob' size
5. the selection of fwhm in qdec corresponds directly with the values
selected by qcache (they are one-to-one related, ie the 10mm fwhm values
created by qcache are used by the 10mm fwhm selection in qdec).

[Freesurfer] recon-all problems [solved]

2013-04-15 Thread Marcos Martins da Silva

I had several problems testing freesurfer 5.2 installation, as
previously posted. Now it is all OK and I would like to share what I
could learn:

1- It does not work on Fedora 18 (segfaults with all tests with tkmedit,
tksurfer and  recon-all) that is due to a restriction imposed by glibc
(only newest version). Only freeview works under Fedora 18 but,  even
here, I got a misalignment problem among surfaces and volumes. More
details at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905638
2- I got partial functionality using VirtualBox (4.2.8 and 4.2.10). I
cannot say about previous versions and the latest one (4.2.12 was
released on Apriil, 12th). But I had problems with both virtual machines
I tried: CentOS6 (fresh install) and the Xubuntu + FreeSurfer 5.1 vdi
file I downloaded from FreeSurfer website. Tkmedit, tksurfer and
freeview all worked but recon-all failed all time.
3- Fedora 17 and CentOS 6 work flawlessly out of box if you do not use
virtualbox. Probably, other distros will work too, except if they are
using the latest glibc (2.16-30). So my final setup is a dual boot
machine: Fedora 18 (day-by-day tasks) and CentOS6 (freesurfer tasks).
You can do it with only one disk but it is a lot easier with two. 

I hope it can help people with similar problems.

[Freesurfer] Use our own training subjects?

2013-04-15 Thread Susan Kuo
Hi Anastasia,

   We were viewing the arcuate fasiculus tract created by TRACULA, and
noticed that the tract did not reach Broca's area. While there exists
literature that now challenges this neuroanatomical convention, I would
like to investigate the possibility of creating and inputting on our own
training subjects as priors. Do you know if we can try this? Thank you!

Re: [Freesurfer] unit of corpus callosum segmentation

Hi Marie,

But division by 5 would give the average area of the 5 mid slices. Maybe 
that is even more meaningful (reliable) than just a single slice.

Best, Martin

Re: [Freesurfer] using volume label mask in mri_vol2surf

2013-04-15 Thread Fred Dick
Hey

I wrote out to .w since I couldn't write to curv. (And I'm old fashioned!)

But actually it's because I am really behind the times and forgot that .mgh was 
also used for surface data. And yup, this worked fine. 

So in answer to my question 'Bug or stupidity' - the latter!

Thanks Doug,

I am not sure what I am doing wrong: it is the syntax? Should I first convert 
the FLAIR file to .mgz?
Thank you in advance for the help!

Re: [Freesurfer] Very different results between 5.1.0 and 5.2.0

Daniel,

Unfortunately, since I run all the individuals again with FreeSurfer 5.2, I
just saved from the 5.1 the info I was using for comparison between version
- the aseg stats.

I don't have cortical thickness information for 5.1 unless we run all the
cases again in 5.1

 Dear FreeSurfer Experts and Users,

 Did anyone find similar things using FS 5.2 (please see my previous post
 below)? That is, FS 5.2 is including more non-cortical "black spaces"
 within pial surfaces, compared to FS 5.1?

 I'm not interested in nitpicking but I feel this is a rather serious
 issue, so I would like to raise it again before it's completely
 forgotten.

 At the meantime I keep receiving Emails from people asking me this
 issue.

 Thanks!
 Daniel

Re: [Freesurfer] creating new curv/thick/area files using tweaked white/pial

2013-04-15 Thread Bruce Fischl
Hi Fred

mris_thickness will make thickness. Not sure we have anything to make 
area. I guess you could try setting -n 0 in mris_make_surfaces to it runs 
for 0 iterations. Or we can put something together to create area - it 
should be trivial

I want to convert a mask I made in MNI152 space using the Harvard-Oxford Atlas

[Freesurfer] creating new curv/thick/area files using tweaked white/pial

Hi there

[Doug/Bruce, sorry for storm of enquiries!]

V quick question:  I've fixed up some small defects in white and pial surfs 
(using reposition), and need to regenerate area/thickness/curv etc without 
changing them. Is there a straightforward way to do this with 
mris_make_surfaces, or should one use mris_thickness and mris_curvature? (Not 
sure which binary makes area).

Is there a straightforward way to use mris_make_surfaces to create these 
without altering the pial & white? (Maybe with  --white NOWRITE --pial NOWRITE?)

The 5.2 image has been smoothed, by a small degree, relative to 5.1.
Either prior to FS processing or by FS, it would seem.

Looking at the image posted previously.

I think it is pretty clear the 5.1 picture has better gray/white contrast.
It is a very subtle difference, but you can see it if you look at some
pieces of
wm that were "missed" by 5.2 in this image.
