Hi Matt,
Thanks for the link.
Reading on pages 29-31, I am struck by the complexity of the procedure. Not to say that it doesn't work, or that the single T1w image free-surfer stuff is simple :-), on the contrary, it's just that I was expecting to see something about an optimization that used both images, rather than something based on the T1w image followed by an exclusion criterion based on the T2w image. Anyway, works better than without.
Minor question on the acquisition of the anatomicals: - Why are you using partial fourier in the read direction? You're throwing away a lot of SNR at the high spatial frequencies, seems a shame to go to 0.7mm and then do that.
Cheers, Souheil

Hi Bruce,
Out of curiosity and for reference for my users, do you have a paper on the T2 or FLAIR assisted segmentation?

Hi Katie
I'm really not sure. These days I would recommend a highres (e.g. 1mm isotropic) FLAIR if you can get one, or T2 if not. The T2* can help, but it's pretty noisy in brain.
cheers Bruce

Dear Freesurfer gurus,
At the course, André van der Kouwe mentioned in his morphometry methods talk that T2* weighted contrast from MEMPRAGE could be used to further seperate dura from cortex, as also discussed in this paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2408694/. We have a GE scanner in our lab. The internet suggests that a Multi-echo FSPGR/FGRE exists. Would this be the analog? Would it work the same way? Could you also use these images with the mris_make_surfaces command?
Thanks very much for your insight -- and I enjoyed the course!
