Dear All,
We recently implemented pial correction using T2 space FLAIR with
freesurfer v 5.3, mostly successfully. We use 2-3 MPRAGE (sagittal + axial
and/or coronal) volumes as 001.mgz, 002/003.mgz for the motion correction
step in recon-all pipeline.
The typical times for acquiring space FLAIR in our settings vary from 2.5
to 6 min, depending on the resolution/NSA no. I was wondering how
freesurfer deals with motion artifacts in the space FLAIR sequence
(especially with longer acquisition times), and if there is a strategy to
minimize motion distortion with these (such as getting second runs for
averaging, etc).
Please advise,
Octavian.
