Hi Sal - Would it be possible for you to run the bbregister command that fails (you can find the command line in trac-all.log) using both the 5.1 and 5.2 version of bbregister and see if one of them works on your system?

Hi Anastasia,

Because I did not have a compatible older version of fsl on the SGE, I was not 
able to
run tracula with 5.1.

Thank you,

Sal

      Hi Sal - Had you ever tried running this in 5.1? Just trying to figure out
      if it's 5.2-specific.

            I tried re-running Tracula using bbr in a subject I had
            successfully run using flt.
            trac-all prep and bedp worked without an error. Bedpostx sent
            me an email confirming
            bedpost completed without problem. However, when I try to run
            trac-all paths, I get
            the following error:

            1_dil.nii.$
            niiRead(): error

            recon-all did finish without error.

                  Hi Sal,

                  1. I have no experience with the sun grid engine,
            perhaps someone else on
                     the list can help with that.

                  2. The -bedp step needs the outputs from the -corr and
            -masks steps. The
                     -path step needs the outputs from the -bedp step. The
            output files from
                     each part are listed here:
                   
             http://www.freesurfer.net/fswiki/trac-all#Outputdirectoriesandfiles

                  3. Checking the aparc+aseg should be enough for tracula
            purposes as well,
                     since that's the freesurfer output that tracula uses.
            Keep in mind that
                     DWI resolution is usually lower than T1 resolution,
            so tiny changes in
                     the aparc+aseg might not affect tracula at all.

                  4. Yes, I do recommend using bbregister. It's not
            surprising that it would
                     give better results since it uses the additional
            information of the
                     surfaces. If I remember correctly, Doug didn't manage
            to replicate your
                     bbregister error, right? I'd check if you get the
            same error with the
                     5.1 version of bbregister.

                  Hope this helps,
                  a.y

                        Hi,
                        I have been able to implement FS 5.2 on our Sun
            Grid Engine
                        Cluster using the CentOS 6
                        distribution. After modifying the fsl_sub_mgh file
            to work
                        with out cluster queue
                        names and to modify the email notifications, I am
            able to run
                        the entire processing
                        pipeline using FLT. (Everytime I try bbr I get
            errors. I had
                        email doug about this but
                        have not heard any response).

                        I am submitting the jobs to the cluster as follows

                        recon-all -i ./*.nii -s WCA_0202_T1_FS
            -nuintensitycor-3T
                        -nocanorm -openmp 50
                        -hippo-subfields -all
                        trac-all -prep -no-isrunning -c
                        /mnt/glusterfs/salsoman/SRC/WCA_0202_T1/DTI/dmrirc
                        trac-all -bedp -no-isrunning -c
                        /mnt/glusterfs/salsoman/SRC/WCA_0202_T1/DTI/dmrirc
                        trac-all -path -no-isrunning -c
                       
            /mnt/glusterfs/salsoman/SRC/WCA_0202_T1/DTI/dmrirc 

                        There are a few issues I am trying to sort out:

                        1) how should one conifigure the openmp flag for
            the Sun Grid
                        Engine? the flag I used
                        did not change processing time, and each subject
            is still
                        taking ~24 hrs?

                        2) once the script starts bedpost, bedpost has
            controller code
                        which paralelizes all
                        of the slices (which has been great going from 12
            hrs of
                        processing to 1.5 hrs).
                        However, my original script goes on to execute
            trace-all -path
                        ... before bepost is
                        done, generating errors. I have gotten around this
            by running
                        the trace-all -path
                        command again after bedpost sends me an email
            confirming
                        completion. Is there a way to
                        more cleanly do this (some kind of hold command I
            can do based
                        on output from
                        bedpost)?

                        3) In your experience, how important is quality
            control of
                        freesurfer on tracula
                        results? We have come to the compromise for
            freesurfer output
                        to manually check the
                        segmentation of aparc+aseg.mgz using free view,
            only
                        correcting and rerunning steps of
                        freesurfer when there are specific structures we
            want the
                        volumes of (eg hippocampus).

                        4) have you found a significant benefit of bbr
            over flt? If
                        so, any suggestions on
                        things I may need to check to get bbr to work
            (given flt
                        works)?

                        Best wishes,

                        Sal
