Dear Jens, I can offer just a bit of information and I also have a question. We are using Fedora 11.0 on an x86_64 box and both the Centos 4 and Centos 6 compiles work. The package appears to be self-contained as I have seen no faults on failures to find shared libraries. We simply untar

[Freesurfer] ADNI protocol anisotropic resolution

Dear group, I am new to FS and the ADNI protocol, thus my question: is it ok to have a slice thickness of 1.2 mm and in-plane resolution of 1.05 mm for cortical segmentation and brain volume analyses? This seems to be a sequence suggested on the FreeSurferWiki (I am using a GE750 3T). Doesn't

Hi Jens you could estimate it, but it might not be exactly right. There's no way to know how long it will take to converge as it depends on the details of the anatomy. If the current output is not verbose enough for you, you can turn on more output by: setenv DIAG 0x04040 if you run some

Hi Antonio yes, that should be fine. It probably reduces sensitivity in some regions, but given the complexity of the folds I would expect it to average out. That said, no one has ever done such a study so we really don't know. cheers Bruce On Wed, 19 Nov 2014, Antonio Algaze Beato wrote:
