[Freesurfer] QDEC - organization of folders for different projects

[Freesurfer] labels to lobes

Hello, Is there a lookup table I can use to convert free surfer labels to lobes? Either label nos (1006, 2006 etc) or label names (ctx-rh-superiorfrontal)? I have 86 labels and want an easy way to differentiate them into the corresponding lobes. Thanks, S

[Freesurfer] stuck at CORRECTING DEFECT 41

2013-02-28 Thread Eli Fredman
Hi all, I have been trying to run freesurfer on a case for awhile now. After receiving multiple errors when using the skull stripped nifti (nii.gz) file, I tried to use the original dicoms as the input. While I haven't run into any errors, the process seems to have frozen at CORRECTING DEFECT

Hi Eli I think that defect is simply too big (it would take forever to fix). It's more than half of the size of a typical cortical hemisphere model. Did you check the skull stripping? And send us images (medial and lateral) of the ?h.inflated.nofix in tksurfer cheers Bruce On Thu, 28 Feb

I think you are right, the auto skull stripping probably didn't quite do the job. We are working on trying to skull strip the dicoms manually before starting over again. In the meantime, I uploaded the lh-inflated (that seems to be the only one in the subjects/[SUBJECT]/surf/ folder). Thanks

After a conventional FS run you can do the following: $mri_annotation2label --subject subj --hemi hemi --lobesStrict hemi.lobesStrict.annot Which will create an annotation file hemi.lobesStrict.annot containing the lobar labels. To extract these into their own individual label files, do

Hi Allison - There's no quantification of motion built in right now, although we're looking into this issue and perhaps it'll be included in a future version. You could look at the transformation matrices from eddy_correct (in dmri/dwi.ecclog) and quantify the frame-by-frame motion from that.
