Re: [Freesurfer] bad freesurfer segmentation
Hi Bruce, Thanks for your answer. I was trying to use the fsl segment in freesurfer indeed. But since I couldn't get that working, I am now trying to do the trick with mri_segment. Sorry to ask you again, but I still have troubles with mri_segment. So I am trying to use the -wm_low flag to make the program do a different segmentation than the default. But it looks like mri_segment is still using the default settings? And the wm.new.mgz I get out of it looks completely the same as my previous wm.mgz So my command is: mri_segment brain.mgz wm.new.mgz -wlo 110 This is what comes out: doing initial intensity segmentation... using local statistics to label ambiguous voxels... computing class statistics for intensity windows... WM (104.0): 105.4 +- 4.8 [80.0 -- 125.0] GM (70.0) : 68.4 +- 10.3 [30.0 -- 96.0] setting bottom of white matter range to 78.6 setting top of gray matter range to 88.9 doing initial intensity segmentation... using local statistics to label ambiguous voxels... using local geometry to label remaining ambiguous voxels... reclassifying voxels using Gaussian border classifier... removing voxels with positive offset direction... smoothing T1 volume with sigma = 0.250 removing 1-dimensional structures... 3683 sparsely connected voxels removed... thickening thin strands 20 segments, 2500 filled 8702 bright non-wm voxels segmented. 4341 diagonally connected voxels added... white matter segmentation took 1.5 minutes writing output to wm.new.mgz... I put the output in bold which (I think) could be causing troubles(?) It looks like mri_segment is still using the default limits for wm and gm. I tried the same adding the flag -noauto, but it didn't make any difference. Do you know what I am doing wrong here? How should I use mri_segment in order to really set different ranges of wm and gm intensities? Again, thanks for your help!!

[Freesurfer] bad freesurfer segmentation
Hi Bruce, Thanks for your reply. Yes I realize now that this is causing me the troubles. But since fsl is able to do a good segmentation, I think Freesurfer should also be able to do this? I am now using MRI_segment, in which I want to set new limits for the white matter, but it doesn't seem to work yet. I use wm.mgz as input volume and output volume something like wm.new.mgz, and -wm_low and -wm_hi with different values as optional arguments. But what file should be included as 'classifier file'?

Re: [Freesurfer] bad freesurfer segmentation
Hi Doety our segmentation assumes we can resolve cortex as it used an adaptive filtering that estimates the orientation of the gray/white boundary in spatial neighborhoods. It may be more sensitive to low resolution than FSL. Not sure if anyone has a script for importing FSL segmentations into our processing pipeline, but someone might. cheers Bruce On Tue, 15 Jul 2014, Doety Prins wrote: Hi Bruce, Thanks for your reply.

Re: [Freesurfer] bad freesurfer segmentation
Hi Doety, Consider these options for uploading data: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FtpFileExchange https://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/facility/filedrop/index.html I think recon-all is expecting your wm.mgz to be conformed or 256^3. Something like: mri_convert wm.mgz wm.conform.mgz --conform You would need to rename wm.conform.mgz to wm.mgz, after renaming or saving a copy of the current non-conformed wm mask you got from FSL. -Louis On Thu, 10 Jul 2014, Doety Prins wrote: Hi Bruce, Thanks for your reply. In my previous e-mail I already tried to attach one of my subjects, but got the response that the message was too big, and therefore it was rejected. So how should I upload the image? The images are T1-weighted, 3D, acquired with a 3T scanner, resolution 256 256. I discovered that FSL does a proper segmentation on this subjects, so I was looking for a way to import these segments from FSL into the Freesurfer pipeline, but I didn't succeed so far. I used the white matter segment from FSL as wm.mgz (in a subject in which I already ran recon-all), I used mri_vol2vol to get this segment in the right space, and normalized with mri_normalize. Then I rerun recon-all with -autorecon2-wm. But it gives me the error message: 'ERROR: mri_segment-MRIcheckVolDims: volume1 depth=160 != volume2 depth=256.' So apparently, the wm.mgz still doesn't have the right size. Do you have any experience with this? Or any ideas about this?
