Re: [Freesurfer] Process flow: ReconAllDevTable

2013-03-14 Thread Mehul Sampat
Hi Nick
I have a followup question about Scenario D:

Scenario D (for pial edits):
1. recon-all -s  -autorecon1 -autorecon2
2. edit brainmask.mgz (
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/PialEdits)
3. recon-all -s  -autorecon-pial

I think -autorecon-pial is a subset of -autorecon3 ?
Is so then could i still run -autorecon-pial without running -autorecon3?
Or if i did this would i miss some of the outputs generated by -autorecon3.

Also if -autorecon-pial is a subset of autorecon3, is the following
scenario valid.
Scenario E (for pial edits):
1. recon-all -s  -autorecon1 -autorecon2
2. edit brainmask.mgz (
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/PialEdits)
3. recon-all -s  *-autorecon3 (instead of -autorecon-pial)*

Thanks
Mehul

Mehul,

Correct, in both scenario C and D you do not need to include the
-autorecon3 flag prior to making edits.  For D, the kind of edits to
brainmask necessary to fix the pial surface will be visible in the pial
produced in -autorecon2 (which recall is not the final one, but will
certainly expose brainmask-rooted pial problems).

Re: [Freesurfer] Process flow: ReconAllDevTable

2013-03-13 Thread Mehul Sampat
Hi Nick,
Thank you very much. I have two followup questions. Since Scenario B is
permissible, I believe the following two scenarios should also be allowed.
(Just wanted to confirm this:)

Scenario C (for white matter edits):

1. recon-all -s  -autorecon1 -autorecon2
2. edit wm.mgz (
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/WhiteMatterEdits)
3. recon-all -s  -autorecon2-wm -autorecon3

Scenario D (for pial edits):
1. recon-all -s  -autorecon1 -autorecon2
2. edit brainmask.mgz (
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/PialEdits)
3. recon-all -s  -autorecon2-pial

Basically, I am trying to see if I can avoid running -autorecon3 in the
first run; make
all the edits and then re-run recon-all with appropriate flags.

Thanks
Mehul

2013-03-13 Thread Nick Schmansky
Mehul,

Scenerio B is permissible.  And to address your question, the pial
surface is created in the autorecon3 stage, making use of the
parcellation data to refine it.  I think a pial is generated during
make_final_surfaces as its normal output, but its overwritten in
autorecon3.

Re: [Freesurfer] Process flow: ReconAllDevTable

2013-03-13 Thread Mehul Sampat
ps: just wanted to add a clarification to my question. The two scenarios
are:
Scenario A:
1. recon-all -s  -autorecon1 -autorecon2 -autorecon3
2. add control points
3. recon -all -s  -autorecon2-cp -autorecon3

Scenario B:
1. recon-all -s  -autorecon1 -autorecon2
2. add control points
3. recon -all -s  -autorecon2-cp -autorecon3

If Scenario B is permissible, the advantage is that, -autorecon3 is only
run once thus saving
a few hours of computation.

Thanks
Mehul

[Freesurfer] Process flow: ReconAllDevTable

2013-03-13 Thread Mehul Sampat
Hi Folks,
Based on the tutorials, we normally run full recon-all pipeline; then add
control points if required and then
run -autorecon2-cp and -autorecon3 again.

Recently, I was looking at the process flow table:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReconAllDevTable
and I have two questions:

1. From this table it seems like ?h.white is created in autorecon2 and
?h.pial is created in autorecon3.
However, when i run recon-all -s subj -autorecon1 -autorecon2 i see that
?h.pial is also already created.
Does this mean I am interpreting the process flow table incorrectly or is
there an error in the table ?

2. Also if ?h.pial and ?h.white are already created at the end of
autorecon2; then  can we add control
points at immediately after autorecon2 ? This way we would need to run
autorecon3 only once and save resources.

Or am I missing something and is it that one must run -autorecon2 and
-autorecon3 and then add control points
and then run -autorecon2-cp and -autorecon3 again.

Thanks
Mehul
