Hi Tim – The best method to use will depend on the data you have. If you have very high b-values, you should use eddy. You can turn off the eddy current part of the preprocessing with “set eddy=0” in the config file, and run trac-all on your corrected images.

Best,

Subject: [Freesurfer] TRACUAL eddy_correct Usage

External Email - Use Caution

Hello,

I notice that within TRACULA 6.0 that eddy_correct is used for the eddy current correction. This is an older tool as compared to eddy, is there a reason that eddy_correct is still used? Have you done cross comparisons between eddy_correct and eddy? If so did you find much difference in eddy current corrections?

Thanks!

-Tim
