Re: [Freesurfer] Editing Pial Surface
Hi Jon usually this happens because the wm in the wm.mgz doesn't extend out far enough. Is that the case here? If not, you can also try direct repositioning in freeview under tools-reposition surface. cheers Bruce p.s. we also have some newer tools that I've been working on that can use a flair or T2 image for this purpose, if you happen to have a high res one On Wed, 17 Oct 2012, Jonathan Holt wrote: I'm wondering about how to best approach two similar problems with pial surfaces.

Re: [Freesurfer] Editing Pial Surface
And in your second set of images, you probably need to edit the wm.mgz. I suspect that there is a topology problem that is messing up the wm.orig cheers, -MH -- Michael Harms, Ph.D. --- Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders Washington University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, Box 8134 660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173 St. Louis, MO 63110Email: mha...@wustl.edu On 10/17/12 12:46 PM, Bruce Fischl fis...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu wrote: Hi Jon usually this happens because the wm in the wm.mgz doesn't extend out far enough.

Re: [Freesurfer] editing pial surface
Hi Julia it's really hard to tell from just this image. If the problem is the skull strip removing voxels you can use the clone tool to paint them back in from another volume like the T1.mgz. Are you sure it's not dura or pial vessels? Where in the brain do you mean? cheers Bruce On Thu, 22 Mar 2012, Richter, Julia wrote: Sorry, this time with attachment :). Hi freesurfer experts, I am trying to correct the pial surfaces of my data. I was able to remove voxels with the right button of my mouse, but unfortunately, it didn't work out to add voxels. Can somebody please help me with that? Do I need a middle button on the mouse for it? Attached you may find a slice of the brain data. The red line (indicating the pial surface) and green line (indicating the grey matter/white matter boundary) cross, which should not happen in my opinion. Is there any possibility to change the lines so that they don't cross anymore?

Re: [Freesurfer] Editing pial surface
hi Lars- perhaps you need to delete more voxels. make sure you're editting the brain volume, and you can just run make_final_surfaces if you only want to regenerate a new pial surface (takes [a lot] less time). thanks, brian On Mon, 12 Sep 2005, Lars Tjelta Westlye wrote: Dear all, I am trying to edit the pial surface by editing/deleting voxels in the brain volume within the pial surface ('labeled' as a part of cortex), but clearly are parts of dura when manually inspected. When I rerun the last automatic procedures (fix, make_final, morph), and check the pial surface, nothing has appeared to have changed. The voxels I deleted are gone, though the pial surface still looks the same. How can I fix this without having to regenerate/reconstruct all my subjects? (I have approx. 100). Any tip? I am by the way using the Freesurfer version from june (?) 2005, and due to time restrictions I am not considering changing to the latest version for this project. Thanks a lot!
