[Freesurfer] CUDA binaries

Dear freesurfers, I'm trying to exploit CUDA capabilities by using recon-all with -use-gpu. On the freesurfer wiki I found an approximate speedups for the main CUDA implementations in Freesurfer ( http://ftp.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CUDADevelopersGuide). But I can't found mri_watershed_cuda and

Hello Lilla, thank you the clarifications. I managed to get mri_vol2vol running, but I have one remaining obstacle - when I use the CVS template as target volume, the EPIs get resampled to 1mm isotropic voxels. I need to get a 3x3x3mm resolution. I tried to use mri_convert -vs 3 3 3 norm.mgz norm3

Hi Marcel, We have encountered this problem before, but we have not come up with the perfect solution yet. As you dais, either the volume gets resampled twice or the high res tranformation needs to be downsampled. Neither of these is ideal, but I am planning on implementing applying the morph

The 001.mgz actually looks good in this case (in terms of intensity) so I'm not sure if it makes sense to scale it up further. The problem is with the nu.mgz being too dark. I'll try it out though if you think it will also work in this case. - Abid --- you could try using --scale t

Hi João I'm not sure I understand. What is wrong with the cc? Note that mri_cc takes a parameter (-t I think) that specifies how far laterally the cc should extend. Is that what you mean - that it doesn't extend laterally far enough? cheers Bruce On Thu, 8 Aug 2013, Joao Pedro Battistella

QDEC does not do its own calculations, it uses mri_glmfit and mri_glmfit-sim, so any differences you are seeing are due to differences in the parameters used to run the analysis. QDEC creates a glmdir output folder. You can check if the two methods have the same design by comparing the Xg.da

I think it is because n3 sometimes creates a few voxels that are very bright (or can't handle a very bright voxel that is there), then the conform step ends up compressing a lot of voxels into the dark range to handle the few bright voxels. I put some stuff in recon-all to try to reduce the ef

Hi again, Raja. Which labels and meshes to use depends on what you want to do. If you extract all the priors corresponding to all the labels in the atlas (the list is in $FREESURFER_HOME/data/GEMS/compressionLookupTable.txt), you would have a volumetric version of the atlas (rather than a mesh)
