Hi Bruce,
I've attached zipped tiff images of a tkmedit (where you can see dura being included) and an inflated image of the same subject (where the flattening of the gyri is where the included dura is)...

Let me know if you cannot access the files.

Thanks!
Martina

The T1s were acquired on a GE 3T scanner. It takes too much time to manually edit the dura and I would not like to do so much manual intervention on the other 2 time points. Adjusting the watershed parameters and the -gcut  flag did not help. Would I be able to adjust nu_correct or  mri_normalize (the intensity normalization steps prior to skull stripping)?
