Re: [Freesurfer] Source matrix with zero determinant

you need to make sure that the direction cosines are correct. You can check whether it is correct by looking at it in tkmedit, ie, tkmedit -f yourfile.nii It should look coronal in the coronal view, etc. If it is wrong, there's no easy way to fix it. I'd go back to the original dicoms if you ca

Hi Doug, Thanks for the tips. I will look into putting all the slices into one volume. Best, Lisa __ Lisa F. Akiyama Research Study Assistant Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS) University of Washington P Please consider the environment before printing

You would have to take all 45 slices and put them into one volume. It won''t work slice-by-slice. It is probably the case that this won't work either as we usually use high res data. For intensity normalization, maybe it will work. doug Lisa F. Akiyama wrote: > Hi Doug, > > There are approxima

Hi Doug, There are approximately 40~45 slices of each individual's brain, each saved as separate nifti files. I'm trying to use FreeSurfer for the Non-uniform intensity normalization and skull strip functions. So, if I edit the header of each nifti file so that the slice thickness isn't 0, recon-a

The problem is that the slice thickness is 0. BTW, I don't know what you are planning to do with this in freesurrfer, but it's not going to work with only one slice. doug Lisa F. Akiyama wrote: > Hi Doug, > > Here's the result of mri_info: > > ubuntu:~> mri_info > $SUBJECTS_DIR/1433_v1/mri/ori

There is something wrong with the header of that nifti file. Can you send the result of: mri_info *deface_1433_V1_t1w_slice0.nii doug * Lisa F. Akiyama wrote: > Hello FreeSurfers, > > I am trying to run autorecon-1 on data (nifti) downloaded from the NIH > MRI Study of Normal Brain Development

Hello FreeSurfers, I am trying to run autorecon-1 on data (nifti) downloaded from the NIH MRI Study of Normal Brain Development (Pediatric MRI Study) Repository. However, the command exited with errors mentioning that the source matrix has a zero determinant. I've read past e-mail conversations on
