Is this a problem for only a single subject, or have you had issues with other
subjects? If it is an isolated case, I might be inclined to recommend you:
1. Resample the T2w brain mask to T1w space using applywarp and
${StudyFolder}/${Subject}/T1w/xfms/T2w_reg_dc.nii.gz and nearest neighbor
interpolation
2. Apply it to the unmasked images to generate properly brain masked data:
${StudyFolder}/${Subject}/T1w/T1w_acpc_dc.nii.gz
${StudyFolder}/${Subject}/T1w/T1w_acpc_dc_restore.nii.gz
${StudyFolder}/${Subject}/T1w/T2w_acpc_dc.nii.gz
${StudyFolder}/${Subject}/T1w/T2w_acpc_dc_restore.nii.gz
3. Rerun the module that does the final alignment to MNI space:
${GitRepo}/PreFreeSurfer/scripts/AtlasRegistrationToMNI152_FLIRTandFNIRT.sh
--workingdir=${StudyFolder}/${Subject}/MNINonLinear
--t1=${StudyFolder}/${Subject}/T1w/T1w_acpc_dc \

Yes, it looks totally fine; the problem is just with T1w data.

Out of curiosity, does the T2w brain extraction look better?

I attached both MNI template and T1w_acpc nii.gz files with the image of
overlaying one on the other.
Thanks,

I need to be able to see the alignment with the template.

T1 rigid alignment has been attached, but I can't see anything wrong with that.

What does the rigid alignment that precedes the brain extraction look like (i.e

We’ve not seen this particular issue before. Can you post some images of your
raw data? Also, what does the registration look like for this file to the
template:
${StudyFolder}/${Subject}/T1w/BrainExtraction_FNIRTbased/T1w_acpc_to_MNI_nonlin.nii.gz
Also post your call to PreFreeSurfer.
Peace,
Matt.

Hi Matthew,
Thanks, I used the 0.8 template, but the problem still persists!
I attached PreFreeSurfer T1 output to this post, I would appreciate any help or
guide.
Best regards,

Yes there are. Have a look at the ${GitRepo}/global/templates directory. See
if using the 0.8mm templates helps.

Subject: [HCP-Users] 0.8 template?Missing Some parts of the cortex in brain
extraction?
Dear all,
I’ve just started working with HCP structural pipeline. I’ve got two questions!
1) In PreFreeSurfer step for processing my 0.8mm T1w and T2w images, I’m
wondering if there are 0.8mm templates (in order to prevent upsampling my
output to 0.7mm) I can use instead of those 0.7mm templates.
2) Output of the brain extraction step missed some small parts of the
cortex, how can I improve the results?
Many thanks for your time,
Xara
