Hi Dan

it depends what your goal is. I think you could get a decent quality recon with an hour two of work, but I'm not sure I would trust thickness estimates from a scan of that quality

Dear Bruce,
Thank you for your help. I was able to view the defects. It does seem to be
an extensive defect—possibly retained dura? I’m not sure of any other way to
fix it. Do you think that the poor quality of the source image makes it
impossible to generate any kind of surface using free surfer? 

Best,
Dan

Hi Dan

that's a pretty low-contrast, severely motion-corrupted scan. We did
pretty 
well given the input I think. To visualize the defects you can cd into
the 
subject's mri dir and run:

fv -v brain.mgz  wm.mgz:colormap=heat -f \
../surf/lh.orig.nofix:overlay=../surf/lh.defect_labels:overlay_threshold=1,
100 \
../surf/lh.inflated.nofix:overlay=../surf/lh.defect_labels:overlay_threshol
d=1,100


then click the "use overlay color" button for the lh.orig.nofix
surface. 
You can also change the display paramters in "configure overlay" to
find a 
specific defect by setting the min/max to a narrow range around the
one you 
are interested in (this will put it in the middle of the range and
color it 
orange)

cheers
Bruce

      Dear Bruce,
      Thank you so much for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I
      was not able to
      open lh.defect_labels in freeview. ?When I try, Freeview
      crashes. ?There are
      no rh surfaces in the surf folder, so I presume this means
      the problem
      occurred in the left hemisphere. I was able to view the
      inflated.nofix and
      orig.nofix but I?m still not exactly sure what the problem
      is, and I would
      be grateful if you could take a look at the subject
      folder. I will upload it
      to the ftp site. It is called s117.

      Thank you!

      Best,
      Dan

      Hi Daniel

      you can load the ?h.defect_labels as an overlay on either
      the?
      inflated.nofix or orig.nofix surface and use it to find
      the location
      of?
      that defect. Usually this means something big is wrong -
      it should be?
      obvious looking at the inflated.nofix I would think. If
      you can't find
      it,?
      upload the subject to our ftp site and I'll take a look
      Bruce

           Hello Freesurfer Developers,
           I am trying to run recon-all -all and the procedure
      is
           freezing while trying
           to correct what appears to be a large defect
           (vertices=36706). The source T1
           image is not great quality due to rippling artifact,
      but I
           have inspected
           brainmask.mgz, wm.mgz, and aseg.mgz and I cannot
      identify
           a large defect.
           The dura was not completely removed, and I tried
      improving
           this by using
           various watershed thresholds as well as using gcut. I
      also
           tried manually
           removing the remaining dura, but none of this was
      helpful.
           ?I also tried
           using -T2FLAIR, but this did not seem helpful
      either.?

           I am attaching the recon-all.log. This does not
      include
           the edits I made to
           brainmask.mgz. That was done on a separate attempt.
      This
           does include the
           -T2FLAIR, as you can see in the recon-all.log file.

           1) FreeSurfer
           version:?freesurfer-Darwin-lion-stable-pub-v5.3.0
           2) Platform: OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
           3) recon-all.log attached


           I very much appreciate any assistance you can
      provide.
           Happy to send any of
           the data if it would be helpful.

           Sincerely,
           Dan Weisholtz
