Hi Michele,

You would have to make sure that the files are written to the same folder for both commands (recon-all and trac-all)
Right now it seems you wrote the output of recon-all to
/PHShome/my738/FSout/FSout_P00000401_e20130813_s002_Cor7minMDEFT_T1_b/

and trac-all output to
 /Users/michele/Desktop/tracula/sages_diff_test_tracula/SD000040_1/

This is what the code was looking for but did not find:
Location of aparc+aseg's relative to base: dlabel/mni/aparc+aseg.nii.gz

What path did you specify for the T1 segmentations (by recon-all) in your configuration file?

Hope it helps,
All the best,
Barbara

Hi Barbara,
thanks again for your help.
I checked the bvecs file using the 'more' command, and (as you pointed out) there was some extra text. This was likely due to MS-excel formatting, which I have used to reshape the bvecs file from row to column configuration. Such extra text was not part of the original bvecs file organized in rows though, but tracula was not giving errors as well.
So, take home message#1
It is not true that FreeSurfer 5.3 allows both rows and columns configuration of the bvecs (as stated in the wiki page). Or at least that's not true for all the scanners. I'd recommend a column configuration of the bvecs, even with FreeSurfer 5.3.
Also - take home message#2
verify that there's no extra text due to excel formatting in the reshaped bvecs file.

That said, now this lead me to the next error!
It seems that there's a problem with the recon-all output that I'm using (?). However, both the log file and the output of the recon-all processing seem fine to me.
Here is the detail of the error message I am getting
ERROR: fio_pushd: path/to/dlabel/mni
And attached are the log files of both tracula pre-processing (with errors) and recon-all (apparently without errors).

Any help/suggestions?
Thanks.

    Hi Michele,

    This might be the solution - try the command 'more' in unix on
    your column bvec and bval, they should each have one (bval) and
    three (bvec) columns and no strange symbols. But you have these
    symbols in the bvec-file (probably because you have extra
    formatting information, that is not needed and an obstacle to
    Tracula).

    You are ending up with multiple columns in the second row, please
    make sure they are 3 columns.


    Good luck,

        Hi Michele,

        Do you use the dicoms or the nifti files as input to TRACULA?
        Also, I think the complete trac-all.log could be even more
        helpful.
        I am a newbie myself but I am having a similar problem, so I
        am trying to find a solution as well :).

        Best,
        Barbara

            Hi Barbara,
            thanks for your reply. I checked the dwi series on a
            viewer and it looks
            fine: I have 1960 dicoms, corresponding to 56 slices x 35
            directions
            specified in the bval/bvec. Also, I was able to obtain the

            Any suggestion?

            Dear Michele,

            I cannot find anything wrong with your bvec and bval files.
            Seeing as you had an errormessage related to the dwi (the
            one about the
            dwi_frame.nii.gz): Did you check that your dwi data have
            the same amount of
            volumes as entries in bvec and bval?

            Good luck,
            Barbara

            Hi,
            I'm having some problems with the first command of the
            tracula pipeline.
            I am using FreeSurfer 5.3 on a mac (OS 10.9).
            The problem seems to be related to the bvecs file. I
            received the following
            error message:
            niiRead(): error opening file /path/to/dmri/dwi_frame.nii.gz

            I read some threads available on your website, but
            couldn't figured out a
            solution yet. I tried to organize the bvecs in columns, as
            opposed to the
            original configuration in rows. By doing that and
            re-launching the
            pre-processing command I obtained a differente error message:
            Error: bvecs and bvals don't have the same number of entries

            The original bvals and bvecs files seem to have the same
            numbers of entries
            to me. But the bvecs file produced by the processing -
            both the bvecs.norot
            and the bvecs files in the dmri folder - don't have all
            the information of
            the vectors.

            I am enclosing a zip folder with attachments:
            1) original bvecs and bvals files organized in rows and
            columns
            2) bvecs and bvals files generated by tracula
            3) error logs

            Let me know if you need any other information.
            Thanks in advance for your help.
