Re: [Freesurfer] Longitudinal troubleshooting

Hi Janosch, yes, that works if longitudinal changes are really small. You should be careful with copying edits from base to the long as even with small atrophy there can be local deformations of the brain, and rigid alignment and copying may not make sense. Yet, I believe that even without cop

[Freesurfer] Reconstruct tm3d warp from mri_cvs_register

Hi all, I ran mri_cvs_register but forgot to add --nocleanup. I have the final combined m3z and no tm3d, and for el_reg just mgz files. Can I recreate the tm3d combined with just these files? On the wiki it says use createMorph - I tried different inputs in 5.3 and dev environments with no succes

[Freesurfer] Longitudinal troubleshooting

Hi Martin and all, I am about to process a large longitudinal dataset (normal development, no patients) and wanted to ask about the best (i.e., time efficient) strategy for troubleshooting. If I understand correctly from https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalEdits, it might be

Re: [Freesurfer] problems with tracula pre-processing (bvecs)

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 FA and MD maps through fsl using the very same dicoms and bval/bvec. Any suggestion? T

Hi Bruce, thank you very much for your fast answer. I'm running outside recon-all, only with mri_watershed. Thanks, that could help. Which are the options for recon-all if I have already the .mgz file?, I'm getting errors, appart from the warning for updating tcsh. Cheers, Ursula Date: Fri, 2

Re: [Freesurfer] recon-all normalization: bias field output

Hi Barbara, Hang on, this will be slightly hairy. Right now, if you're not using the -3T flag when you run recon-all, you're essentially invoking N3 four times (the N3 wrapper, mri_nu_correct.mni). Every time you invoke N3, the output files are stored in separate directories (the once you located

Hi Arsula are you running this through recon-all or outside of it? The skull stripping works better after the intensity normalization that is part of recon-all cheers Bruce On Fri, 29 Aug 2014, Úrsula Pérez Ramírez wrote: Hello, I’m new with FreeSurfer and I’m getting a really bad sku

Hello, I’m new with FreeSurfer and I’m getting a really bad skull stripping (almost nothing) with mri_watershed –atlas in images converted from DICOM to .mgz with mri_convert. I lowered the threshold but did not improved considerably. I have tried with a subject from the tutorial dataset and

[Freesurfer] mri_preproc

Hello, I was still wondering about vertex selection after spherical registration. Once the brains are registered to the same spherical coordinate system, how are the vertices chosen? I noticed that each individual brain initially has a different number of vertices, but in the mri_preproc output fi
