I find the T2w image works well for removing dura and blood vessels, but I'm not sure FLAIR would work for T1w/T2w myelin mapping because of what would happen to the ratio near the pial surface. Instructions for T1w/T2w myelin mapping are available here:

If you get an MPRAGE and T2-SPACE you can make myelin maps too. FreeSurfer's final surface placement benefits a lot from high resolution images (less than 1mm) and you can still get good SNR with when you use 32-channel coils. Peace, Matt. On 11/20/12 4:41 PM, Bruce Fischl

true. The FLAIR we use is just a T2-SPACE scan with an inversion pulse to put CSF at the null point, so if you can get T2-space at .7 you should be able to get FLAIR (although you do burn some SNR with the inversion) On Tue, 20 Nov 2012, Matt Glasser wrote: Hi
