[Freesurfer] ris_fix_topology malloc error in FS5.1

2011-05-27 Thread peter . molfese
I was processing a particularly noisy participant which bombed out with the following error. Looking at the data, it shouldn't make it through the pipeline, but the error message seems more of a memory management issue. I've pasted it below, any thoughts? Freesurfer 5.1 (new build), Mac Pro Work

Hi Peter, that error means that it found a gigantic topological defect - bigger than it could hold in memory - so it's a direct consequence of the noisy data. cheers Bruce On Fri, 27 May 2011 peter.molf...@yale.edu wrote: > I was processing a particularly noisy participant which bombed out wit

[Freesurfer] cerebellum atlas template

Hello all, We are looking to develop a cerebellum atlas training set based on the Schmahmann et al (2000) parcellation so we can automatically segment the cerebellum based on this atlas. Does this exist already? I know Makris and colleagues had done something similar to this, but I am not sure

Nifti can only handle 32k elements in any dimension. This is a problem for surfaces when they have upwards of 100k vertices. For our average subject (fsaverage and derivatives), this problem is solved by reshaping the number of vertices to be 27307x6=163842. If you are working with fsaverage, t

Hi Joakim, I think you can remove entirely the -t option. The area will be one of the fields in the table, regardless of this option, as it depends on the mesh that is used to derive all other measurements except thickness. If you specify an ?h.area file with -t, it will instead output incorre

Yes, there's no other way for FS to know where data should go -- it has no idea how you derived the input. You can try using bbregister with 12 DOF to register the atlas template to the FS anatomical. This will give you a registration matrix. Check it visually to make sure that it is reasonably

Do I feed the registration matrix into another FS command or does bbregister use the reg matrix to transform the atlas mask into FS anatomical space? I will try the bbregister with 12 DOF as you recommend too. Thank you, Kareem Quoting Douglas N Greve : > Yes, there's no other way for FS

You use bbregister to compute the registration. You will need a template for your atlas (eg, an average anatomy). doug On 5/27/11 7:09 PM, k...@rice.edu wrote: > Do I feed the registration matrix into another FS command or does > bbregister use the reg matrix to transform the atlas mask into FS
