Hi Bruce-

The teams at UCSF and the SFVAMC would be more than willing to provide letters 
of support.

thanks Joshua

I wish study sections agreed with you. We will probably put in another support 
grant in the next year when I work up the energy to write one (they are quite 
dull). I'll probably request support letters at that time.

cheers

   I mean that the grant funding FreeSurfer maintainance didn't get 
 renewed. We certainly will
   continue support and development, but it does have a substantial 
 negative impact on the
   engineering we can do, such as getting rid of the 1mm restrictions.

Re: [Freesurfer] QA Tools Snaps Scrambled - Follow up

2013-01-10 Thread Irwin, William
Hi Louis-

I dug a little deeper and examined the rgb files before conversion. The problem 
is not with the IM conversion, it is with the capture. For example, 
'subject_curv_lh_lat.rgb' is just fine, but from the same subject 
'snapshot-talairach-H-128.rgb' is garbage.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Wil

I was speaking cryptically and/or imprecisely. Of course there are dependencies

more system-level problem, but I'm not having problems with any of the other

Hi Irwin,
It sounds like the snapshots from tksurfer are fine, but the ones from tkmedit 
are not being generated properly.  It may be this peculiar bug where 
ImageMagick has trouble reading rgb files. Try converting an rgb file to a jpg 
'convert file.rgb file.jpg'.  You may get the error 'Improper image header'.  
The tksurfer tcl script saves tiff files, the tkmedit tcl script saves rgbs, 
which may explain why some images are fine.

Yes, library dependency issues which don't appear to easily be solved. 
Presumably they would be easier to solve if I moved to the centos6 version of

[Freesurfer] Questions on QA Tools

Hi-

This is an useful addition. I have a couple of questions about the outputs:


1.   subject has 36 outliers: I assume this refers to the volumetrics 
as compared to FS Average, where an outlier is a volume +/- 2 SDs?

2.   7927 vertices did not have an annotation!: I understand what this 
means, but what are the QA implications?

[Freesurfer] Clarification on centos version/updates/patches

2012-04-08 Thread Irwin, William
Hi-

It would appear the stable release for centos6 is ready for primetime 
'stable5.1-bin.tgz'; Is this correct?  There is an updated version of 
'mri_info' based on file size 
(ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/linux-centos6_x86_64/).


mri_info in 'stable5.1-bin.tgz': 9787048 04-Oct-2011 13:45
mri_info outside of 'stable5.1-bin.tgz': 9866032 04-Oct-2011 11:32

Which version is the most current?

Can the contents of 'stable5.1-bin.tgz' be extracted into /freesurfer/bin to 
overwrite the extant files?

Additionally, there is a versioning discrepancy between 'trac-all' located in 
(http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/allplatforms/)

'$Id: trac-all,v 1.35 2011/09/02 19:19:22 ayendiki Exp $'a

and the version packaged with the cenos6_x86_65  'stable5.1-bin.tgz'

'$Id: trac-all,v 1.22.2.9 2011/09/02 19:21:03 ayendiki Exp $'

I did not comprehensively look for any other discrepancies-these just happened 
to stand out based on the work I was doing today.

Thanks much,

[Freesurfer] Reading/loading posterior_* files from hippocampal subfield segmentation

2012-04-07 Thread Irwin, William
Hi-

This is probably a question for Koen, but perhaps others could help me out.

I want to read into Matlab the 'posterior_*.mgz' files generated by the 
subfield segmentation. I'm not exactly sure the format/content of these files, 
but in addition to any information (e.g., some coordinate reference), I'm 
assuming it contains the posterior probability (0 - 255, scaled) for each (sub) 
voxel for each of the regions/fields.

I tried the obvious Matlab file (i.e., load_mgh.m), but that results in an 
error (the current Matlab directory contains the files and if I include the 
full path the same error obtains):

 [vol M] = load_mgh('hippoposterior_right_CA4-DG.mgz');
gzip: hippoposterior_right_CA4-DG.mgz.gz: No such file or directory
ERROR: problem reading fname
SWITCH expression must be a scalar or string constant.

Error in load_mgh (line 156)
switch type

Given what I know (or think I know) about the procedure by which the subfields 
are labeled, it likely isn't surprising the genearl Matlab scripts don't 
properly deal with the posterior subfield files.

My objective is to be able to evaluate the distribution of voxels values 
(posterior probabilities) which exist for each of the subfields/regions.

Thanks,
Wil

Re: [Freesurfer] lobar WM volumes

2012-04-05 Thread Irwin, William
Thanks, Doug.

I actually want lobar both GM and WM. 

So would this be the correct syntax to generate lobar GM and WM labels?

mri_aparc2aseg --ssubject  --labelwm --rip-unknown --ctxseg aparc+aseg.mgz 
--annot lobe

Yes, I started to do as you suggest with tkmedit using FreeView, but I thought 
there might be a less manual way of doing this.

Thanks,
Wil

We'll this was insightful: The norm.mgz file was empty and when I looked at the

Re: [Freesurfer] Renaming a processed subject

2011-09-01 Thread Irwin, William
Hi Bruce-

Not trivial to be sure!

I was hoping there was an undocumented feature/command. 

Of course, everyone and their neighbor could suggest a useful feature to be 
added, but this one seems particularly useful.

Thanks,
Wil

Re: [Freesurfer] Procedure to get amygdalar sub-regions and brainstem Brainstem consituents volumes

2011-08-24 Thread Irwin, William
Thanks, Bruce.

That was my assumption, but I thought it was worthwhile asking.

Related, for the hippocampal subfield segmentation, I understand the voxel 
values are the probabilities of belonging to a given subfield.

Is there way to extract a list of voxels with their values for each region? I 
realize this would generate a very long stream of data. But then one could 
post-hoc adjust the number of voxels per region by setting some criteria (e.g., 
the probability of belonging to the fornix has to be 95%).

Thanks,
Wil

[Freesurfer] MCSRCH ERROR

Hi-

I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to address and/or fix these errors.

The native input images are very good quality; the conversion to T1.mgz is

clean.

[Freesurfer] Combining 'accelerated' vs 'non-accelerated' data in ongitudinal analyses

2011-07-23 Thread Irwin, William
Hello-

Our group occasionally encounters  patients with various syndromes such that 
'excessive' head movement is an issue. One solution on which we rely is 
acquiring an accelerated MPRAGE sequences (Siemens GRAPPA) which takes about 
½ the time. For those not familiar with this method, the resulting image is 
noisier and the contrast-to-noise is reduced. Quantitatively, because of the 
increased noise in the accelerated acquisition, comparisons of the correlation 
between regional cortical thickness reveals that the covariance is different 
between data acquired with the accelerated vs. non-accelerated sequences.

If the longitudinal processing stream is used, is the issue of differing 
covariance between the 2 acquisitions method an issue? If so, does anyone have 
a suggestion about to deal with this issue?

I should add, there is no systematic issue such as one patient group always 
requires using the accelerated sequence.

Regards,
Wil
