Re: [Freesurfer] Error with recon-all

2012-05-10 Thread Ed Gronenschild
Hi Nick, Apologies, I should have looked at the recon-all.log file myself. It says that there was an error with mris_topo_fixer: it couldn't allocate memory (malloc error). So I guess that the brainmask is still not correct. I will try to fix that with the option -wsmore. Cheers, Ed On 9 May

[Freesurfer] TRACULA niftii file

Dear all, Is TRACULA able to handle 4D FSL niftii as input for DTI images? Are bves/bvalues extracted by dcm2nii and MRICro accurate for TRACULA? I think TRACULA needs the bvecs in the image coordinate system, which is not the same as scanner coordinate system in case of oblique acquisition. Do I

the memory requirements of the topo fixer are quadratic in the convex hull of the largest defect, so check the lh.orig.nofix and see if there is a connection to the skull or the cerebellum. You will probably need to fix it in the wm.mgz cheers Bruce On Thu, 10 May 2012, Ed Gronenschild

Hi Gabor - The input DWIs can be in any format that can be read by mri_convert, including the NIfTI format. The gradient directions should be in voxel coordinates, like the ones used by FSL. I don't have experience with dcm2nii, but if you have original DICOM files, you can pass those as the

Hi Gabor, dcm2nii's default setting for VB17 DICOMs should be to rotate the bvecs that it returns into the voxel/image axes if you have a modern version of it. See item 8 under Sample Datasets of http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricro/mricron/dcm2nii.html for some notes on this issue and a

anson, check the terminal output after you press the 'generate stats table' button. it gives a more succinct error message. when this function fails, its almost always because an aseg.stats file for one of the subjects is missing or corrupt. you can regenerate the aseg.stats for a subject by:

Hi Reem, #1. Is this from mri_glmfit-sim? If so, you can ignore it #2. You do not need both contrasts. Use abs to get a double sided test #3. The first contrast will be positive for ControlPatient. If you specify neg, it will only show clusters where ControlPatient #4. Depends on what you mean

Assuming you have the free space on your Windows computer's disk, you would need to create a virtual disk big enough in VirtualBox and format it and mount it (at for example /data) in the Linux system. Then put the data there. That is the basic concept. The details on doing it are not
