Hello,

I have created surfaces that contain T1w/T2w ratios (see Glasser & van Essen, 
2011; Ganzetti et al., 2014 for details). I am looking to extract the average 
T1w/T2w value for each of the 7 Yeo networks from the surfaces. We wish to 
extract intensities from the surface to avoid partial voluming effects that we 
have observed when extracting whole-brain T1w/T2w values from the T1w/T2w ratio 
maps (volumes) using a cortical gray matter mask. I have previously tried using 
mri_anatomical_stats and mri_segstats to do this without success.

I received the following errors with each command, respectively:

mri_anatomical_stats:

command: 
mris_anatomical_stats -t lh_<T1w/T2w_ratio_surface>.mgh -a 
<freesurfer_path>/lh.Yeo2011_7Networks_N1000.annot -b subject lh

output + error:

<freesurfer_path>/lh.Yeo2011_7Networks_N1000.annot.

ERROR: number of vertices in lh_<T1w/T2w_ratio_surface>.mgh does not match 
surface (163842,154532)

(And the table column of “average cortical thickness” (in my case, T1w/T2w 
ratio) are all 0.000s for the 7 Yeo Networks)


mri_segstats:

Command: 
mri_segstats --i lh_MM_cbpd_brannon_age_gender_n157_glm_fwhm_src5trg5.mgh --seg 
../../../../../freesurfer/fsaverage/label/lh.Yeo2011_7Networks_N1000.annot 
--avgwf test.dat

output + error:

ERROR: loading

I am running macOS Monterery 12.4, Freesurfer 6.0.0.


Can anyone please advise if I am using mri_anatomical_stats or mri_segstats 
incorrectly, or if there is a better way to extract average T1w/T2w values from 
the surface directly? Thank you in advance for any help.

Best,
Austin
