Re: [Freesurfer] T2-space vs T2-space-FLAIR

2014-07-30 Thread Matt Glasser
Bruce has said the FLAIR might be a little better for FreeSurfer but it¹s
worse for myelin maps (has less CNR for the myelin, though you can still see
the major areas).  Currently, the T2 and FLAIR flags do exactly the same
thing, so it doesn¹t even matter what flag you use.  I think it depends on
what else you might want to do with the data (i.e. if myelin maps were
important to your study you might go with T2w (like HCP), but if lesion
detection were more important you might go with FLAIR (like biobank).

Peace,

hi bruce,

is there any difference from freesurfer's perspective of using T2-space or

Re: [Freesurfer] T2-space vs T2-space-FLAIR

2014-07-30 Thread Bruce Fischl
Hi Satra

I've been working on that this week, and I think the answer is yes, but 
not a lot. The FLAIR has worked better in our past tests, but I found 
some problems with the T2 code and it is working much better now, so I 
think the jury is out. We're happy to give you an alpha version if you want 
to test it and decide for yourself :)
