Re: [Freesurfer] scuba bus error on MacBook

Hi Nick, Sorry, after I sent that message out, I realized I didn't have nearly enough info in there. We downloaded and installed fs exactly a week ago. It is Freesurfer v 4.0.4 (sorry I don't have the laptop on me right now, so I don't have the built-stamp.txt) The laptop is an intel with Leopard.

Akram, Which freesurfer distribution was installed? type 'cat $FREESURFER_HOME/built-stamp.txt' What OS do you have? Tiger or Leopard? Which processor do you have? Intel or PowerPC? Assuming you installed the proper distribution for your Mac, you can send me the file which causes the bus err

Hello all, We installed freesurfer on a brand new MacBook and downloaded some high resolution MRI data on the hard drive. we can open the volumes in tkmedit but not in scuba, it returns a Bus error. Any ideas? Thanks! Akram. ___ Freesurfer mailing list Fr

I guess it's possible but the -make switch is designed to prevent this. Are the surfaces topologically incorrect? What is the euler number for them? On Mon, 9 Jun 2008, Martin Kavec wrote: On Monday 09 June 2008 21:14:35 Michael Harms wrote: No, I don't have any examples (although we haven't

No, I don't have any examples (although we haven't been looking either). However, Martin's email regarding problems he is encountering on the LGI computation seems premised on having surfaces with topological problems even under v4 -- hence my question Am I mis-reading your situation Martin?

Hi Mike, I think it is the case. Sorry, I haven't been following this thread. Do you find situations in which the corrected surfaces have the wrong topology? Bruce On Mon, 9 Jun 2008, Michael Harms wrote: Hello, Here is a related question prompted by this thread, perhaps based on a misco

Hello, Here is a related question prompted by this thread, perhaps based on a misconception on my part: I was under the impression that you are guaranteed to get surfaces with an euler number of 2 under the "new" topology fixer of version 4 (which runs by default if the "old" fixer does not initi

You're right, without a normal, it isn't clear what --projfrac would do. With a pretty simple algorithm, I can modify my question: is there a way to use mri_label2label (or another tool) so that a label point is assigned to a vertex if it is a fraction of the thickness and/ or within a norm

Hi Kyle, first of all don't you probably don't want to use mri_convert in that way -- you should only spec the orientation if it is INCORRECT in the dicom. If it is correct, then the output file will be incorrect. FSL requires that the images be in radiological orientation. One of PIL or PAL

d is the distance (in mm) from the surface within which a label point must be in order to be assigned to a vertex. It is just a simple distance (no normal involved). Can you elaborate on what you would want a --projfrac to do in this case? Ben Kennedy wrote: Doug, With the new version of mr

Martin, Which version of freesurfer did you use to generate the surfaces? Because the number of topological defects in your surface (64) is very high. You may have to relaunch the surfaces (orig and pial) to get better surfaces (i.e. 0 defect). Lgi often fail if there are defects, someti
