[Freesurfer] hippocampal subfields analysis took 10 min
Dear Eugenio, I had to run the hippocampal subfield segmentation analysis in Freesurfer v6 manually by running segmentSF_T1.sh program. When I call it through recon-all, it only processed the left hemisphere but not the right. The issue is that running segmentSF only took 10 min per hemisphere. I didn't use multicores. Although the analysis resulted in all the files correctly, I am just concerned if running this manually completed the analysis prematurely.

Re: [Freesurfer] ERROR: dimension mismatch between input volume and seg
Hi Kari I think that's not a real error. They are both surface overlays, just with the nvertices dimension in different slots. You could load one of them into matlab and use reshape to make it the same dimensions as the other, then write it out cheers Bruce On Fri, 20 May 2016, Kari Parsons wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to get some cortical thickness volumes for an ROI that I have > (I'm pretty much following the instructions at > https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/VolumeRoiCorticalThickness > verbatim), but for some of my subjects I'm getting errors that look like this > when I run mdi_segstats: > > ERROR: dimension mismatch between input volume and seg > input 1 1 145283 > seg 145283 1 1 > > Does anyone have any thoughts on how to trouble-shoot this one? > > Thanks! > ___ > Freesurfer mailing list > Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu > https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer > > > ___ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

[Freesurfer] LME MATLAB, X matrix error
Dear FreeSurfer Team, I processed in MATLAB for Linear Mixed Effects Models Analysis with this X matrix: X matrix is 'Subjects N X 11', 11 columns are as follow, 1. Intercept (all '1') 2. time (from baseline time point) 3. time2 4. Patients group = 1, Control = 0 5. 4.X time 6. 4.X time2 7. Patients group = 0, Control = 1 8. 7. X time 9. 8. X time2 10. age 11. extra values for covariate 1. When I process this command, [lhTh01,lhRe01] = lme_mass_fit_EMinit(X,[1],Y,ni,lhcortex,3,4) The MATLAB windows print the warning alarm repeatedly. " Warning: Matrix is close to singular or badly scaled. Results may be inaccurate." Is this X matrix something wrong? 2. After complete 'lme_mass_fit_EMinit' process with the warning, I tried the next command, [lhRgs01,lhRgMeans01] = lme_mass_RgGrow(lhsphere, lhRe01, lhTh01,lhcortex,2,95); This command took a long time to process, and it caused the whole stop MATLAB works. Is it also because of the X matrix...? Could you let me know the solution for the X matrix problems ?

[Freesurfer] Group Analysis: Two Groups and Two Covariates.

Re: [Freesurfer] LME MATLAB, X matrix error
Hi Han, Try to find a local statistician to help you with your analysis. About your matrix: rows need to be number of all time points from all subject. Time 2 should probably not be there. Also columns 7-9 need to be dropped (they are just the negative of the rows before).

Re: [Freesurfer] LME MATLAB, X matrix error
Dear Martin Reuter, Thank you for your reply. Our patients have several time points, but controls have only 1 time points, so when I coded the patients group =1, controls groups = 0 , the 2. time and 3. time2 column were same as 5. 4.X time 6. 4.X time2 column. and 8. 7. X time and 9. 8. X time2 were all zeros. And then, how about this X matrix (Subjects N X 5)? 1. Intercept (all '1') 2. 4.X time (from baseline time point) 3. 4.X time2 4. age 5. extra values for covariate is it a vallid matrix for test the effects of group X time2 ? Thank you, Han.
