This workflow completes the reconstruction process in three different steps, allowing the user to check the outputs before proceeding.

 3. Run the first step of recon-all. See the RconAllDevTable for individual steps that will be run during the whole process.
    '''`recon-all -i ''invol1'' -i ''invol2'' -autorecon1 -subjid `''your_subject_name''''' 		 3. Import your data and create a subject data directory. This is done '''once''' using the following command:
Line 17: Line 17:
    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     '''`recon-all -i `''invol1''` -i `''invol2''` -subjid `''your_subject_name'''''
Line 19: Line 19:
 4. Check the talairach transform:
  4.1 Make sure the talairach subject is linked to `$SUBJECTS_DIR`
   if not: '''`ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/talairach $SUBJECTS_DIR/.`'''
  4.2 '''`tkregister2 --mgz --s `''your_subject_name''` --fstal`'''		     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. The command above will create an empty directory named ''your_subject_name'', except the mri/orig directory will contain files named 001.mgz and 002.mgz, which are your imported structurals. Once your input files are imported, you do not need to use the -i flags again.

 5. Check the skull strip:
   '''`tkmedit `''your_subject_name''` brain.mgz -aux T1.mgz`'''		    After your subject finishes running, do the following to make sure the recon was successful.

 5. Check the talairach transform:
   '''`tkregister2 --mgz --s `''your_subject_name''` --fstal`'''

  For instructions on how to fix bad talairachs tranforms, refer to:
   * [[FsTutorial/Talairach]]

   * FsTutorial/SkullStripTutorial       After adding control points run the steps [[OtherUsefulFlags|-autorecon-cp]] (this will run -normalization, using control points, and everything else through the end of -autorecon2) and -autorecon3 (this will update all your stat tables with the new changes).
   * FsTutorial/SkullStripFix
      After adjusting the skullstrip, run the steps -autorecon2 and -autorecon3.
Line 34: Line 42:
 6. After you have an accurate brain volume, run the next step of recon-all:
    '''`recon-all -autorecon2 -subjid `''your_subject_name'''''
Line 37: Line 43:
   '''`tkmedit `''your_subject_name''` wm.mgz rh.white -aux brain.mgz -aux-surface lh.white`'''    '''`tkmedit `''your_subject_name''` brainmask.mgz -aux wm.mgz -surfs`'''

   * FsTutorial/FixingDefects		   For instructions on editing the final surfaces, refer to:
   * FsTutorial/WhiteMatterEdits
      After editing the wm.mgz volume run the steps [[OtherUsefulFlags|-autorecon2-wm]] (this will run -fill, using new wm.mgz volume, and everything else through the end of -autorecon2) and -autorecon3.
Line 43: Line 49:
      After editing the brainmask.mgz volume to adjust the pial surface, run the steps [[OtherUsefulFlags|-autorecon-pial]] (this will run -finalsurfs, using new brainmask.mgz volume, and everything else through the end of -autorecon3.)
Line 45: Line 52:
 8. After you have accurate pial and white surfaces run the final step of recon-all:
     '''`recon-all -autorecon3 -subjid `''your_subject_name'''''		  8. Next, check the segmentation:
   '''`tkmedit `''your_subject_name''` brainmask.mgz -surfs -aseg `'''

   For instructions on editing the aseg, refer to:
   * TkMeditGuide/TkMeditWorkingWithData/TkMeditSegmentations
      After editing the aseg, run the following steps:

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. Import your data and create a subject data directory. This is done once using the following command:

    • recon-all -i invol1  -i invol2 -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. The command above will create an empty directory named your_subject_name, except the mri/orig directory will contain files named 001.mgz and 002.mgz, which are your imported structurals. Once your input files are imported, you do not need to use the -i flags again.

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

    • recon-all  -all -subjid your_subject_name

    After your subject finishes running, do the following to make sure the recon was successful.
  5. Check the talairach transform:

    • tkregister2 --mgz --s your_subject_name --fstal

  6. Check the skull strip:

    • tkmedit your_subject_name brainmask.mgz -aux T1.mgz

    • For instructions on how to fix poor normalizations or skull strips, refer to:

      • FsTutorial/ControlPoints

        • After adding control points run the steps -autorecon-cp (this will run -normalization, using control points, and everything else through the end of -autorecon2) and -autorecon3 (this will update all your stat tables with the new changes).

      • FsTutorial/SkullStripFix

        • After adjusting the skullstrip, run the steps -autorecon2 and -autorecon3.
  7. Check the white and pial surfaces:

    • tkmedit your_subject_name brainmask.mgz -aux wm.mgz -surfs

    • For instructions on editing the final surfaces, refer to:
  8. Next, check the segmentation:
