Hi Katica after you move the dicoms you have to run recon-all. Something like:
recon-all \ -sd /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects2 \ -s <subject id that you pick> \ -i <path to 1 file in the correct dicom series> \ -all this will create the directory /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects2/<subject id that you pick> and populate it with the analysis results average 10-14 hours or so cheers Bruce On Tue, 3 Sep 2013, Boric, Katica A. wrote: > Hi Bruce! > So, before my subject folder was in a shared folder with the VM and my PC (mnt/hgfs/Linux_Share/subjects) > After the recon with errors (see first emails) I was advised to set the subject folder (which I understand is where the dicoms are stored, but I might be mistaken) locally to the same freesurfer home (usr/local/freesurfer/). So I created a new folder called subjects2 (usr/local/freesurfer/subjects2) and moved a folder with dicoms of one patien that was in the Shared folder, to this new folder.
