Can you try using lh.thickness.mgz instead of just lh.thickness?

Hi there,
I believe the problem occured, because I generated pial surface by segmenting, and then tessellating that label volume, instead the way I see in log file of the subject 'bert' where standard autorecon achieves it using the 'mris_place_surface' command (mris_place_surface --adgws-in ../surf/autodet.gw.stats.rh.dat --seg aseg.presurf.mgz --threads 8 --wm wm.mgz --invol brain.finalsurfs.mgz --rh --i ../surf/rh.white --o ../surf/rh.pial.T1 --pial --nsmooth 0 --rip-label ../label/rh.cortex+hipamyg.label --pin-medial-wall ../label/rh.cortex.label --aparc ../label/rh.aparc.annot --repulse-surf ../surf/rh.white --white-surf ../surf/rh.white)

Therefore, to go that way, I tried to "cheat" freesurfer with
"mris_place_surface --adgws-in autodet.gw.stats.lh.dat --invol vol_seg.nii.gz --lh --i lh.wm.5smth --o lh.pial.nofix --pial --repulse-surf lh.wm.5smth"
command using (following) made-up files....
- vol_seg.nii.gz- segmentation volume with voxel-intensities 1 (pial-matter), 2 (gray matter) and 3 (white matter) - lh.wm.smth- white matter surface generated using white matter segmentation's tessellation, and then smootheed with n_smooth = 5 - autodet.gw.stats.lh.pial is duplicated from the subject "bert" file with following values

Any suggestions?

Thank you for a swift reply, Doug.
Upon running the command "mris_diff --debug --min-dist lh.pial.5smth lh.wm.5smth 1 lh.thickness", the command line throws error that it can't find file.
outcome:

5 --min-dist
Use Exact = 1
Writing mindist to lh.thickness
error: unknown file type for file (lh.thickness)
mris_diff done

I tried with an absolute file path which also didn't work.
Strangely, when mentioned no file location, but giving in a directory "mris_diff --debug --min-dist lh.pial.5smth lh.wm.5smth 1 /Users/user-name/Desktop/", 2 files namely COR-info and COR-001  are created on Desktop, and COR-info can be loaded as 'overlay' for a surface. Unfortunately, these curvature values are not within range at all.

For further details, using the command with --debug flag gives the following outcome (on command line)

Use Exact = 0
Writing mindist to /Users/monster/Desktop/
non-standard value for imnr1 (1, usually 256) in volume structure
non-standard value for type (3, usually 0) in volume structure
non-standard value for width (177753, usually 256) in volume structure
non-standard value for height (1, usually 256) in volume structure
mris_diff done

Here I attach a couple of screenshots to elaborate the outcome.
Kindly let me know how I can rectify the issue.

Thanks and regards,
malav

Hi Malav, try
mris_diff --min-dist lh.wm.smth5 lh.pial.smth5 1 lh.thickness
The output will be on the pial surface. Reverse the surface order to get it on the white surface

    Dear freeSurfer team,
    I am trying to extract cortical thickness in a postmortem elephant
    (structural) MRI scan.

    I initiated the process with the segmentation of white (wm) and
    pial matter, using MATLAB image processing tools.
    Having satisfied white and pial matter labels, I "tesselated"
    these volumes to generate pial and wm surfaces.
    Then, with 'mris_smooth' command, I smoothed these surfaces.
    When attempted to estimate cortical thickness between these
    surfaces (lh.pial.smth5 and lh.wm.smth5), I get the following error.

    command: mris_place_surface --thickness lh.pial.smth5 lh.wm.smth5
    20 5 lh.thickness
    error: No such file or directory
    error:
    ERROR:
    
MRISreadVertexPositions(/Volumes/experiment/share/Malav/Ele_ana_cortexMRI/pipelines/dumba_piece/lh.wm.smth5):
    surfaces differ. Main: 177753 verts 365096 faces, lh.wm.smth5:
    145095 verts 298436 faces
    Surfaces may be out-of-date

    I understand there is a mismatch in the number of nodes of these
    surfaces. How can I rectify this issue to get to the thickness?
    Thanks and regards,
    malav
