Re: [Freesurfer] Binary volume to surface label
Hi Bruce, Thanks for your help yesterday. I was able to create the .mgh file using the -output_type mgh option, but I am still unable to load it in tksurfer as label or anything else. If you or Doug have any other suggestions, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Re: [Freesurfer] Binary volume to surface label
It cannot create a label file directly. What happens when you try to load it as an overlay? Make sure to set the threshold to 0.5. Also, before going to the surface load the binary volume onto the anatomical with the surfaces to make sure that the surfaces pass through the mask. doug On 5/12/13 4:55 PM, Bruce Fischl wrote: Hi Jonathan try -output_type mgh.
