External Email - Use Caution
Hi Bruce,
what I mean is that, two of the main outputs of recon-all are T1.mgz (which has the skull) and brain.mgz (which has been skull stripped). For a group of patients, I lost the brain.mgz file and I still have the T1.mgz. I was wondering if there was a way, given T1.mgz as input, to get brain.mgz (avoiding the whole segmentation procedure again).
Thank you

Hi Marianna
I'm not sure what you mean by "replicate". The procedure should be the same for all inputs unless you change something explicitly

the skull stripping is a hybrid procedure that uses both a watershed algorithm and a deformable surface. There is no single intensity threshold in it. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question? There are parameters you can change (for example the preflooding height), but there is no intensity thresholding

I am using recon-all to segment many T1s. As I can see, one of the
automatic
step performed by recon-all is the skull stripping. Would it be possible
to
know the threshold used for the stripping? I guess it is the same
threshold
everytime. I would like to apply the skull stripping only on other T1s and need to get the same result.
Thank you very much for the help.
Yours faithfully,
