Hi Bruce, Actually I also acquired a 1mm dataset at 3T and 7T, which works fine using FreeSurfer. But I'm trying to compare the results with a 0.6mm (0.5mm later) dataset of the same subjects scanned at 7T.
I tried selecting a seed point for the cutting planes following your advice and using the tutorial in the wiki. Instead of using the seed point I specify mri_fill is looking for another one "in the neighborhood". For example if I choose the coordinates 193 197 174 mri_fill uses 186 220 216, resulting in also removing most of the occipital lobe. Is it possible to force FreeSurfer using the seed point I choose? Or do I have to do something else so mri_fill recognizes the seed point I choose to be valid?

We have analyzed a bunch of 7T data successfully, although it probably isn't as automated as 1.5 and 3T. The error you are getting we only see when you have run out of disk space. It sounds like the surface file is corrupted. As for the cutting planes, you should be able to select a point in the pons above the cerebellar peduncle for the brainstem cutting plane. This should remove the cerebellum, which is required for analysis. We certainly did many cortical thickness studies before the aseg stuff was integrated into the stream, so it should be possible, it just requires more work. cheers, Bruce On Thu, 30 Jul 2009, Falk Lüsebrink wrote: > Hi FreeSurfers, > > > > As the subcortical segmentation fails fairly often on my high > resolution data I want to skip it by using the noaseg flag, but Im > currently encountering another issue. > > > > 1.)
