[Freesurfer] mri_annotation2label
Hi, I have two annotations, ?h.aparc.annot and ?h.aparc.a2005s.annot, created by recon-all with the –cortparc and –cortparc2 command options. I would like to convert each of these to a set of labels. For aparc.a2005s.annot I run (hopefully this is correct): mri_annotation2label --subject subj04_bay2 --hemi rh --annotation aparc.a2005s --labelbase $SUBJECTS_DIR/subj04_bay2/label/aparc2005-rh --table $FREESURFER_HOME/Simple_surface_labels2005.txt But for aparc.annot I don’t know what table file I should specify (there are two other files in the $FREESURFER_HOME folder that could potentially be correct: Simple_surface_labels200s.txt and surface_labels.txt). Could you tell me which table to use for aparc.annot? Thanks, Dahlia. ___ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
[Freesurfer] average T1's before correcting for inhomogeneity?
Greetings all, I'm new to freesurfer, so apologies if this has been covered. Two questions about early processing: 1) It looks like the recon-all script averages multiple T1's prior to correcting inhomogeneity. If processing T1's acquired on different days, and/or on different scanners, might it be advantageous to manually run mri_nu_correct.mni on each individually before averaging? Other than CPU time, why average first and then correct for inhomogeneity? 2) Is freesurfer's use of MNI_N3 over FSL's fast inhomogeneity correction algorithmic, empirical, historical, or other?

Re: [Freesurfer] average T1's before correcting for inhomogeneity?
Hi Stephen, 1) Yes, this is probably a better idea if you are collecting in different scan sessions. In general I think this is to be avoided as you will have other differential distortions that will add blurring (e.g. gradient nonlinearities, B0 distortions, different tongue/jaw positions, etc...). 2) Historical. We haven't really tried to compare N3 to anything else. Let us know if you think the FSL stuff works better for you. cheers, Bruce On Mon, 30 Oct 2006, Stephen Towler wrote: Greetings all, I'm new to freesurfer, so apologies if this has been covered.

RE: [Freesurfer] mri_annotation2label
I was using the std version. It works well under dev. Thanks! Dahlia. By the way, the FSwiki entry on mri_annotation2label does not mention the –annotation command option (but perhaps this is on purpose?)

[Freesurfer] ROI group analysis
Hi, I am trying to run mri_volcluster on a group ROI and am having some trouble. I was hoping someone had suggestion. I created individual ROIs and wanted to average them to obtain a group ROI. I ran isxavg-re-sess for each ROI but there is no registration file for mri_volcuster to reference. Have I hit a dead end? Does anyone know another way of creating a group ROI that I can apply the mri_volcluster command to?

Re: [Freesurfer] Quality of Surface
Hi Paul, it looks fine, but it's hard to evaluate how good a surface is from just looking at the inflated surface. You need to overlay white/pial on the MR in tkmedit and assess it for accuracy.
