Good afternoon;

I am hoping you can help me answer a pretty quick & easy question….

I am trying to identify the best MRI protocol to use for Freesurfer

analysis… When I look at the FAQ:

Data Requirements

The processing procedures for the creation of cortical models require

good quality T1 weighted MRI data, such as a Siemens MPRAGE (examples

of appropriate Siemens scanner protocols) or GE SPGR sequence with

approximately 1mm3 resolution (although a variety of quality data sets

can be processed with additional manual intervention). Thickness

should not exceed 1.5mm (~1mm^3 is ideal). The protocols specified for

the ADNI project are excellent examples to follow. The best FreeSurfer

processing results come from scans having excellent gray/white matter

contrast.

The link to the ADNI project protocols is broken…I think that they should be
