[Freesurfer] Advice on integrating FSL's BET with recon-all

2013-03-06 Thread Winter, Warren
Hi again, We have had some suboptimal results from FreeSurfer's skullstripping algorithm, even after iteratively trying different watershed thresholds and after checking the quality of Talairach registration. The results are pretty good, but often leave some dura matter and bits of neck

you can use mri_convert -rl ... to reslice the output of bet so that it has the same geometry as the rest of our stream cheers Bruce On Wed, 6 Mar 2013, Winter, Warren wrote: Hi again, We have had some suboptimal results from FreeSurfer's skullstripping algorithm, even after iteratively

I would check the mri_em_register registrations of the step that immediately precedes mri_watershed (and produces talairach_with_skull.lta). We found that most of the variability and failures occurred in this step, and mri_watershed itself is a very robust brain extraction algorithm when it is
