Hi Cate,
there is a section on the wiki about troubleshooting the skullstripping.
Try some of those recommendations first (mostly changing the preflooding
height). If the cerebellum is messed up, then the aseg probably won't work
well which can hurt the whole processing stream.
cheers,
Bruce

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,
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial_2fControlPoints
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
