Hi Xiaoqian, We don't typically recommend this, but it looks like you will need to edit your brain.finalsurfs.mgz to account for the wm lesion. I tested this out by filling in the lesion with 110 and recreating the wm surface -- it seems to work quite well.
Once that is done, you can run the following command to finish your recon-all. I'm running it now to make sure the output is okay: recon-all -s <subject_id> -white -smooth2 -inflate2 -curvHK -curvstats -autorecon3 I also made some edits to the wm.mgz, but I'm not sure they were necessary. I'll send you copies of the edited files in a private email. Best, Bram ___________________ Bram R.

I have uploaded my data through the Martinos Center FileDrop, here is the link: + Data_Xiaoqian.zip (169.46 MiB) <http://gate.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/filedrop2/?p=6wbctqzrzh1> I explained my problems in that link, but still copy and past here: '' I am having troubles doing a good segmentation in the right occipital lobe in a patient's brain. There is a thermal lesion in that region, a black whole, that could make the segmentations go wrong. I tried to edit the wm, but the results were not ideal. The thermal lesion can be clearly seen from the axial slices 108 - 115, e.g. in RAS coordinate [40,-50,-4] on the axial slice 112. The bad segmentation (wm and pial surface) can be seen from the coronal slices 54 - 62, e.g. in coordinate [42, -52, -10] on the coronal slice 57. The wrong segmentation made it impossible to overlap the functional activations in the OFA (occipital face area) region on the surface. In my uploaded data directory, I already edited the wm and brainmask, and I only reran 'recon-all -autorecon2-wm -subjid name' to save time.
