Troubleshooting Segmentation Errors. Intensity Normalization. Pial Surface misplacement. Skull Strip Errors. Topological Defect.

What are the Common Interventions? Manually edit the wm.mgz to change incorrectly labeled voxels (only for small errors). Manually edit the brainmask.mgz to erase dura/vasculature. Adjust watershed parameters or use –gcut to fix large- scale skull-strip errors. –Manually erase/clone regions of remaining skull on brainmask.mgz Control Points – add locations that are in the interior of the white matter and <110 to bring regional wm intensity up. Use norm.mgz as guide. Use tkregister2 to fix incorrect talairach.xfm

Troubleshooting – Common Cases (≈98% of surface accurate in about 98% of cases for good data [1]) Symptom: white matter not accurate in wm.mgz Interventions –add control points (if wm << 110). –Expert opts to set intensity thresholds in segmentation (almost never). –Manually erase/draw wm in wm.mgz Symptom: skull strip not accurate Interventions –Adjust mri_watershed parameters or try –gcut –Manually erase skull/clone T1.mgz to recover brain Symptom: surfaces are not accurate. Interventions: –Add control points (if white matter << 110). –Erase dura/blood vessels –Check topology on ?h.inflated.nofix (if ?h.orig surface doesn’t follow wm.mgz) [1] Salat, D, Personal Communication.

Eye Socket classified as WM due to Skull Strip Failure. Erase in wm.mgz then run: recon-all -s -autorecon2-wm -autorecon3 Troubleshooting: Segmentation Error

“Hypo-Intensities” White Matter Lesions Misclassified as gray matter Troubleshooting: Segmentation Error Fill in wm.mgz then run: recon-all -s -autorecon2-wm -autorecon3

Intensity Normalization Failure. Most WM in T1 volume (T1.mgz) should be close to 110. Can fix by editing wm.mgz or adding “Control Points”. Beware partial voluming! recon-all -s -autorecon2 -autorecon3 Troubleshooting: Intensity Normalization

Troubleshooting: Skull Strip brainmask.mgz orig.mgz Use “clone” tool to manually correct, or adjust watershed parameters and run (default wsthresh is 25, higher means strip less): recon-all -skullstrip -wsthresh 35 -clean-bm -no-wsgcaatlas -s recon-all -s -autorecon2 -autorecon3

Troubleshooting: Skull Strip brainmask.mgz orig.mgz Or try gcut (be sure to check didn’t take too much!!): recon-all -skullstrip -clean-bm -gcut -s recon-all -autorecon2 -autorecon3 -s

Dura or Blood Vessel White/Gray OK, but Pial Inaccurate Troubleshooting: Skull Strip/Pial Surface Error Dura and GM have extremely similar intensity characteristics on most T1-weighted sequences (but different T2*!). Typical fix: edit the brainmask.mgz to erase dura/blood vessels, and run: recon-all -s -autorecon-pial

White Matter “ disconnects ” orig.nofix will be accurate Troubleshooting: Topology Fixer Error

Troubleshooting – Advice Always look at the data in multiple views and scroll back and forth a few slices – 3D structure is difficult to discern! If large regions of white matter are significantly darker than 110 (the target white matter intensity for normalization) then try adding control points, but make sure they are in the interior of the white matter. If the ?h.orig surface misses white matter that is accurately labeled in the wm.mgz or extends into regions where there is no wm in the wm.mgz, then there is an incorrectly fixed topological defect. Even one or two missing voxels can cause large-scale defects, so very minor editing (e.g. filling in white matter voxels that are holes, or erasing handles) may fix the problem. Don’t edit too much! This will reduce reliability and is almost never needed. Usually this means you need to start over as you’ve done something wrong (e.g. put control points in the wrong place).
