Thanks for looking into this. I have uploaded another two subject folders as 
dsemanek3.zip, this time from a single time point for the same subject having 
been run through the cross stream of recon-all, the one with “test” appended at 
the end has had white matter edits on sagittal slices 126-142.

So, I have been able to get the surfaces to change in a single cross run as 
demonstrated in this upload. For this test, I did some edits that are typical 
on this dataset. Although the surfaces did change to reflect the edits, in a 
couple of places the surfaces did not change enough, and still encompassed 
space in the wm volume which had the white matter voxels removed.

For the first pass through these data before I realized there was a potential 
problem, I had initially edited the cross folders for the subjects and then ran 
the base, expecting the edits to be transferred over, but they did not seem to 
be. So I am still left with two issues: 1) incomplete incorporation of cross 
edits on the cross folders, 2) so far being unable to find an intervention 
point which will change the surfaces in the long stream, I have edited the base 
and then ran the long folders and these were not carried over as demonstrated 
in my previous uploads.

Cross and Long Streams


So the way to debug this is to test if we can replicate the problem of WM edits 
not taking effect in a regular cross sectional stream.

If true this means that there is a bug to the way WM edits are considered in 
FS6.0. It is unlikely that we missed that, but can happen. Probably something 
else is going on here.



For that it would be good to have a single time point (cross sectional step) 
with WM edits send over, so that Andrew can take a look at that.

I did not use that flag for the data I uploaded. The wm edits to base did not 
influence the base wm surfaces or the cross wm surfaces. The cross wm edits 
(not uploaded) did not influence cross, base, or long wm surfaces.

I’ve found no condition under which wm edits have influenced the white matter 
surface in any of my data.

This is how it should work:

WM edits in the base should affect surfaces in the base, these surfaces should 
be used as initialization for the long processing and fix most of the things 
there. If not , you need to edit the cross, because WM edits are copied into 
long from cross.



Using the -uselongbasewmedits flag is usually not recommended. It copies WM 
edits from base to the long and that is only meaningful if there is very little 
longitudinal change.

Thanks for taking another look at our data.

I have uploaded another subject in the archive dsemanek2.zip . For this subject 
I have:

1) run the cross processing stream on both timepoints
2) created the base
3) edited the wm.mgz on the base
4) rerun –base –autorecon2-wm –autorecon3
5) run the long stream to create the long folders for the two time points

It doesn’t look like the white matter edits were factored into any of the 
surfaces at any point in the process. NB: some edits have been exaggerated over 
protocol for the purpose of testing the software.

These folders were processed on OSX 10.11. I am running the same subject on 
Linux and I will let you know if I get a qualitatively different outcome.

Hi David,



That is interesting. Sorry to ask you to upload data again, but if you could 
upload this subject (with only base wm.mgz edits), I could try to replicate 
this and see why no wm changes are showing up in the longs.



best,

Andrew

Cross and Long Streams


Andrew, thanks for your response. I am still not seeing the white matter edit 
performance that I am expecting, or that I have seen from using the cross 
stream on 5.3 in the past with a different dataset.



I started with a new subject with two timepoints. I ran recon-all on both for 
the cross stream with no edits, and then ran the base. I edited the wm.mgz for 
the base, then ran “recon-all –autorecon2-wm –autorecon3 –base xx_base –tp 
xx_t1 –tp xx_t2”. I noticed the surfaces didn’t really change in the base, but 
I went ahead and ran the two long runs using “recon-all –all –long xx_tx 
xx_base” and although there are minor differences in the base and time point 
surfaces, the white matter edits I did on the base were largely ignored, and 
none of them were included in the time point long run wm.mgz files.



I am tempted to try these same analyses using Linux (I am running this on OSX 
10.11 currently), as I experienced a completely different response from the 
surface generation modules to my edits in the past when using Linux. I’m 
thinking this is a real long shot, but I cannot otherwise figure out why the 
software would be behaving so differently from my past experiences.



Any thoughts? Thanks!

Cross and Long Streams



Hi David



Try editing the base wm.mgz first instead of editing the long and cross wm 
files. Rerun autorecon2-wm and autorecon3 for the base dir, then completely 
rerun the longitudinals. The long surfaces are initialized from the base 
surfaces, so this could be why your wm fixes seem to have no effect.

You can find more info here:

https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalEdits#CheatSheet<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalEdits>

If editing the base doesn't solve the problem, you can send me the commands you 
ran in order and I can look into this further.



best,

Andrew

Cross and Long Streams



Thanks, I have uploaded the cross and long stream processing from one subject 
which requires numerous white matter edits to correct defects in the white 
matter surfaces; the file is on the ftp server as dsemanek.zip.

Both of the cross subject folders, s02_t1 and s02_t2 have had edits done to 
both the brainmask as well as the wm files, and autorecon2-wm and autorecon-3 
have been run on them, as well as the long folder for the first time point, 
s02_t1.long.s02_base.

It was in working with the rerun results of s02_t1.long.s02_base that I noticed 
the white matter surfaces after being regenerated with the edited wm.mgz did 
not reflect any of the edits. The easiest way to see this is to load the wm.mgz 
with the white matter surfaces and scroll through the slices, there are 
numerous areas where the contours of the white matter surfaces do not follow 
the voxels of the wm.mgz volume, mostly near what should be identified as 
hyperintense gray matter. I’m fairly certain the white matter surfaces didn’t 
change at all after running autorecon2-wm with the wm.mgz edits.

Thanks for taking a look at our data.
