This workflow completes the reconstruction process in three different steps, allowing the user to check the outputs before proceeding. See the TroubleshootingReconTable for a list of the steps run with this command. Any manual intervention that is needed is done before moving on to the next step, which can save both time and use of computer power.

 3. Make a subjects directory within your SUBJECTS_DIR:
    '''`mksubjdirs `''your_subject_name'''''
 3. Run the first step of recon-all. See the ReconAllDevTable for individual steps that will be run during the whole process.
    '''`recon-all -i `''invol1''` -i `''invol2''` -autorecon1 -subjid `''your_subject_name'''''
Line 17: Line 18:
 4. Convert the DICOM files to .mgz files in the $SUBJECTS_DIR/your_subjects_name/mri/orig directory:
    '''`mri_convert `''your_dicom_file'' ''your_subject_name''`/mri/orig/001.mgz`'''
    where ''invol1'' and ''invol2'' are paths to your input files. You can use as many as necessary (i.e., '''-i ''invol3'' -i ''invol4''''') and they can be in any format that is accepted by mri_convert

  If you have multiple scans from the same session, convert additional scans like:
    '''`mri_convert `''your_other_dicom_file'' ''your_subject_name''`/mri/orig/002.mgz`'''

 5. Run the first step of recon-all. See the TroubleshootingReconTable for individual steps that will be run during the whole process.
    '''`recon-all -autorecon1 -subjid `''your_subject_name'''''

 6. Check the talairach transform:
  6.1 Make sure the talairach subject is linked to `$SUBJECTS_DIR`
   if not: '''`ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/talairach $SUBJECTS_DIR/.`'''
  6.2 '''`tkregister2 --mgz --s `''your_subject_name''` --fstal`'''
 4. Check the talairach transform:
   '''`tkregister2 --mgz --s `''your_subject_name''` --fstal`'''
Line 35: Line 26:
 7. Check the skull strip:
   '''`tkmedit `''your_subject_name''` brain.mgz -aux T1.mgz`'''
 5. Check the skull strip:
   '''`tkmedit `''your_subject_name''` brainmask.mgz -aux T1.mgz`'''

FreeSurfer Troubleshooting Reconstruction Work Flow

  1. Source the correct version of FreeSurfer:

    • source your_freesurfer_dir/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh

  2. Set your SUBJECTS_DIR variable to your subjects directory:
    • setenv SUBJECTS_DIR your_subjects_dir

  3. Run the first step of recon-all. See the ReconAllDevTable for individual steps that will be run during the whole process.

    • recon-all -i invol1  -i invol2 -autorecon1 -subjid your_subject_name

      where invol1 and invol2 are paths to your input files. You can use as many as necessary (i.e., -i invol3 -i invol4) and they can be in any format that is accepted by mri_convert

  4. Check the talairach transform:
    • tkregister2 --mgz --s your_subject_name --fstal

    • For intructions on how to fix bad talairachs tranforms, refer to:
      • ["FsTutorial/Talairach"]
  5. Check the skull strip:
    • tkmedit your_subject_name brainmask.mgz -aux T1.mgz

  6. After you have an accurate brain volume, run the next step of recon-all:
    • recon-all -autorecon2 -subjid your_subject_name

  7. Check the white and pial surfaces:
    • tkmedit your_subject_name wm.mgz rh.white -aux brainmask.mgz -aux-surface lh.white

    • For intructions on editing the final surfaces, refer to:
  8. After you have accurate pial and white surfaces run the final step of recon-all:
    • recon-all -autorecon3 -subjid your_subject_name
