Hi - no, it doesn't - that is part of the initial freesurfer processing (which estimates white matter and then estimates bias field on the basis of white matter points), not the format conversion. ttfn, Steve. On Thu, 29 Aug 2002, Darren Weber wrote: Dear Bruce et al, does mri_convert

p.s. what we do is not really bias field estimation/correction, but something much more aggressive, really a pre-segmentation, which accounts for bias fields as well as tissue inhomogeneity. If what you want is really the bias field for some other purpose, you're probably better of using the EM

Hi Anders, Many thanks for this reply. We have been grappling with the non-linearity on our new Sonata systems, and will face the same hurdle with our 4T (Sonata gradients). Would it be possible to continue the discussion off-list about your correction procedure and how it is implemented in

Dear Bruce et al, does mri_convert automatically apply RF bias field estimation/correction? If it can do the RF bias correction, what is the best command line option for this? Take care, Darren -- Darren Weber, PhD Student Cognitive Neuroscience, School of Psychology Flinders University of
