Many thanks Dr. Fischl for your support.

My goal is to create a mesh completed of skull and scalp to be able to perform the Monte Carlo simulation on it.
To do it, I need to start from a well segmented brain, so I decided to go for FreeSurfer.

I have read something about the mri_watershed, but I could’t find any specific information about how exactly use it (my apologise, but I am quite new among the FreeSurfer users).
Why do I need the T2 image to use this function?

Many thanks in advance

Best

Chiara

Hi Chiara

you can look at the mri_watershed help to see how to generate other tissue classes or boundary models, but typically you need some other image contrast(s) like T2/PD. What are you trying to accomplish?

As for your second question, you should be able to use mri_surf2surf with the talairach.xfm to convert the surfaces to MNI coords, or just map to fsaverage which I believe is already in MNI space.

cheers

Dear FreeSurfer users, I am a PhD student from Birkbeck University and I am
trying to segment some structural images of infants data.
After the classical segmentation done with the ‘-recon all’ function, I am
stuck with two issues:
1. How can I add the CSF, the skull and the scalp in my model? I know that
with FS you can get just WM and GM.
2. How can I convert the RAS coordinates to MNI ones?
I have been trying to look at these topics on line and on the FreeSurfer
website, but I haven’t find anything useful so far.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards
Chiara
