Did you try reducing the FOV to only include the brain regions?  The out of
memory error means you are unable to allocate enough memory to FAST.  You
can either switch to 64bit where you will be able to allocate as much RAM as
you want, or need to reduce the amount of RAM that you need.  Reducing the
FOV is one option for doing this.

 

Peace,

 

Matt.

Hi Matt,

I have 4GB alloted to my virtual machine (32 bit). But I am still getting
the out of memory error when I run the 512x512x110 image and use the apriori
maps in FAST4. However the program is running without error if I donot use
the 'apriori maps' option. 

Does this new information change anything? Is it a different problem or is
it still a problem with the 32 bit virtual machine? Do I have no other
option but to switch to a 64 bit Linux OS (I am hoping I dont have to) ?

Thanks,
Jayanth.

Perhaps reducing the image FOV would help (crop the extra empty space around
the image), however you are going to be very limited with the 32bit virtual
machine (and I am not aware of a 64-bit version).  You should make sure that
your virtual machine has access to at least 3GB of the system RAM (you will
only be able to allocate 2GB to any given process at 32bit, but the extra
1GB can be allocated to system processes.  For any kind of intensive FSL
processing it is certainly better to run FSL in an operating system in which
it can run natively, for example 64bit Linux or Mac.  I recommend Ubuntu if
you decide to go the Linux route.

 

Peace,

 

Matt.

Hi Rolf,

 

Yes. I have betted the images and the bet results are accurate. 

 

Thanks,
Jayanth

Hi Jayanth

Not sure about your architecture, but I have seen this error with
problematic data sets.  Is your image brain-extracted?

Rolf
