[Freesurfer] mri_watershed -brain_atlas undocumented?

2014-11-04 Thread tvg[fs]
- This is a repost. It seems it did not come trough yesterday.
Apologies if this becomes a double post -



Hi all,

I noticed that during skull stripping the standard recon-all pipeline
uses option -brain_atlas in the routine mri_watershed. However
documentation of this argument cannot be found in the help section or
on the website.

mri_watershed --help | less -p atlas
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_watershed?highlight=(atlas)

Is this an undocumented flag or simply a synonym for -atlas? Does
the -brain_atlas flag take an extra argument to specify the atlas?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom

I'll cc Flo who wrote this code (a long time ago!). I think the 
-brain_atlas flag takes a gca atlas and uses it to avoid large-scale 
errors, while -atlas uses some built-in statistics about the shape and size 
of e.g. the cerebellum to avoid erasing it accidentally. Flo can correct me 
if I'm wrong :)

cheers
Bruce
