[Freesurfer] Hippocampal volume estimation

2014-01-23 Thread Tanya Verma
Hello,

I have to segment out hippocampus only and calculate its volume. Since
FreeSurfer segments out many sub-cortical structures and their respective
volumes, it takes a lot of time ( more than 10 hours ).

Is there any way to extract a particular sub-cortical structure only from
brain ( hippocampus in my case ) without taking a lot of time?

Thank you

[Freesurfer] TRACULA error: pre-processing

2014-01-23 Thread Won Sang Jung
Hi,

I have a problem running TRACULA in the pre-processing stage.

The error message is the following;

Loading streamline start ROI from
/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/tracula/tutorialdata/diffusion_tutorial/Diff001/dlabel/mni/lh.cst_AS_roi1.flt.nii.gz

trac-preproc exited with ERRORS at 2014. 01. 23. (목) 18:32:17 KST


I guess this error started to happen after I updated Freesurfer version
5.3.0

(I could successfully run TRACULA with same data with the prior version of
Freesurfer)


In my setting,

$TUTORIAL_DATA  -- /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/tracula/tutorialdata


I tried re-download the file, diffusion_tutorial.tar.gz, from freesurfer
server and extracted file again, but still I couldn't find the file
lh.cst_AS_roi1.flt.nii.gz in Diff001/dlabel/mni folder.


Thank you in advance for your advice.

Re: [Freesurfer] Hippocampal volume estimation

2014-01-23 Thread Bruce Fischl
no, sorry. The contextual information from segmenting everything helps a 
lot in improving accuracy, so there is no way to only segment a single 
structure.

[Freesurfer] Time taken by Freesurfer for processing

2014-01-23 Thread Tanya Verma
Hi,

I would like to ask that why does the Freesurfer takes so much time for
processing particularly autorecon2 ?

Knowing that Freesurfer takes a lot of time for processing, why is it still
used widely by researchers ? For segmentation followed by volume
calculation , does one has to really wait for hours for the results?

Re: [Freesurfer] Time taken by Freesurfer for processing

2014-01-23 Thread Bruce Fischl

Hi Tanya
we have always preferenced minimizing manual interactions over computer 
time. It takes so long because of its level of automation and its 
completeness. This is also why it is so widely used I assume - because it 
generates a comprehensive, accurate and automated morphometric assay of the 
human brain. Seems like waiting a few extra hours to get something 
complete, automated and accurate isn't a big deal.

Re: [Freesurfer] Time taken by Freesurfer for processing

2014-01-23 Thread Matt Glasser
Newer versions also have the ability to run some stages on multiple CPU
cores (with the -openmp cores flag) which speeds certain stages (e.g. in
autorecon2) up considerably.  I'm also sure Bruce wouldn't turn down more
resources to hire the programmers needed to make it faster either!

Peace,

Matt.

[Freesurfer] mri_surfcluster

2014-01-23 Thread krista kelly
Hi all,

I have obtained laterality indices using xhemi analyses and would like to
use FDR instead of the mri_glmfit-sim suggested in the xhemi instructions.
I know to get the FDR threshold from tksurfer, but I want to restrict the
clusters to a certain cluster size. Based on a previous thread (
http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg23866.html )
I think this should be done using mri_surfcluster but I am having trouble
with the actual commands. I've tried this but it doesn't seem to work:

mri_surfcluster --in glm.lh.lh-rh.thickness.BV.LI.mgh --thmin 2.54 --ocn
ocn.mgh --sum sum.dat --sign abs --minarea 20 --surf fsaverage_sym --hemi
lh

the error = srcsubjid must be supplied

If I'm performing this on a group file (not individual subject), what would
I even input as the subjid? Or do I have this totally wrong?

Thanks!
Krista

[Freesurfer] poor grey/white distinction in superior part of scan

2014-01-23 Thread Christine Smith
Hello,

I am emailing to inquire about whether poor grey/white contrast in one part
of a scan (i.e., the posterior and superior part of the scan; ~parietal
cortex) can be addressed. The contrast in other parts of the scan looks
good and freesurfer does a great job of distinguishing white from grey. For
the parietal cortex area the cortex appears very thin. In addition, the
entire brain appears 'white' or bright, even though the brain doesn't look
this bright if you reconstruct it from dicoms.

We have now obtained 4 scans like this, so it isn't just one person with
thinning cortex.

How can I make an adjustment to only this superior part of the brain and
leave the rest of it alone? Or do I need to make an adjustment to the
intensity early on for the entire scan and then basically start over with
editing?

Best,
Christine

there are lots of output. You can create an annotation (--oannot), 
labels (--olab), copy the input and set nonclusters to 0 (--o), map of 
corrected voxel-wise significances (--vwsig), or  map of cluster-wise 
significances (--cwsig). Of course you can get a simple table of the 
output too (--sum)

2014-01-23 Thread Douglas N Greve

The dimension mismatch means that the input data does not match the 
surface. It looks like the surface is from an individual but the input 
data is from a group analysis (which means fsaverage subject)

[Freesurfer] converting binary cortical GM ribbon mask to mative T1 space

2014-01-23 Thread Alexopoulos, Dimitrios
Hi,

We'd like to map the cortical GM ribbon on our original single volume native 
space anatomical T1.
The dataset has been run through recon-all -all.

The 'rawavg.mgz' or '001.mgz' is the native space T1 and 'ribbon.mgz' is the 
cortical GM mask
in freesurfer space, correct?
I converted the ribbon.mgz to native T1 space using:
mri_label2vol --seg ribbon.mgz --temp rawavg.mgz --o ribbon-in-rawavg.mgz 
--regheader ribbon.mgz


Is this the correct procedure?

Thanks.
Jim

Re: [Freesurfer] Corrections to the segmentation lead to giant defects

2014-01-23 Thread Bruce Fischl

Hi Thomas

when you say errors in the hippocampus do you mean the aseg or the 
surfaces? If the surfaces, don't worry about them as they are not used in 
the hippocampal region. You are probably connecting the temporal lobe to 
the main body of the white matter creating a giant defect.

The error log says in all cases that there is something wrong with the
cerebellum. When we open the ?h inflated.nofix file then we see the
cerebellum added (see attached file) in the hemisphere we made the edits. 

 We have no clue if or what we are doing wrong and here are the steps we
did:

 - open the files (tkmedit subject norm.mgz -aseg.mgz 

- Tool - Configure Segmentation Brush info - select the hippocampus - add
voxels 

- File - save segmentation

- run recon with recon-all -autorecon2 -noaseg –autorecon3 -subjid subject
-nuintensitycor-3T

So far we had no problems with our subjects for all the previous steps
(recon after wm, pial,  edits) and it did run smoothly.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

there is something wrong with the format. did you make your qdec table

Please note that the left and right sides of the brain are flipped for

 Please find attached two pictures. One is of the brain from reconstructed

 subject and approximately the same slice of brain. Notice that the freesurfer
 image is very bright. Look at the white matter and pial lines (i.e., cortical
 thickness) in the upper left hand part of the image and see how thin the
 cortex appears. Notice also, that there is very little grey/white contrast in
 this same area in the brain image reconstructed from dicoms.
 
 Please let me know if there are any other pictures you might desire or

 Subject:  [Freesurfer] poor grey/white distinction in superior part of scan
 
 Hello,
 
 I am emailing to inquire about whether poor grey/white contrast in one part
 of a scan (i.e., the posterior and superior part of the scan; ~parietal
 cortex) can be addressed. The contrast in other parts of the scan looks good
 and freesurfer does a great job of distinguishing white from grey. For the
 parietal cortex area the cortex appears very thin. In addition, the entire
 brain appears 'white' or bright, even though the brain doesn't look this
 bright if you reconstruct it from dicoms.
 
 We have now obtained 4 scans like this, so it isn't just one person with
 thinning cortex.
 
 How can I make an adjustment to only this superior part of the brain and
 leave the rest of it alone? Or do I need to make an adjustment to the
 intensity early on for the entire scan and then basically start over with
 editing? 
 
 Best,
 Christine

Hi freesurfer crew,

I found some details through this website

about
cortical thickness maps with freesurfer. I have done some reading but can't
really make much sense of how I might do this for a single subject through
freesurfer. I have already done autorecon 2 and 3 and so have the cortical
thickness stats but would like to put it into a map such as this one:

[image: [Click to enlarge
