Hi,

I ran autorecon1 on a group of data consisting of a single set of mprage
DICOMs per subject, acquired on a Siemens Allegra 3T scanner.  Several of
the brainmask.mgz images had large portions of the brainstem and cerebellum
removed.  A couple had portions of the neck which were not removed.  The
talairach transforms looked fine.

A more experiened Freesurfer user suggested that adding control points and
re-running the intensity normalization might fix this.  I assume that I can
follow the instructions here,

but that I would need to edit the orig.mgz file and then run autorecon1-cp.
Is this correct?  

My intended analysis (cortical thickness in PFC regions) does not depend
upon these flawed regions, but I want to make sure these errors aren't
indicative of some larger problem.  Also, I know there have been issues with
gradient warping with the Allegra.  Do these problems sound like gradient
warping symptoms?

Thanks,
Cate
