External Email - Use Caution        

Dear Prof. Glasser and Prof. Fischl,

Thank you for your reply. I have been given a set of bias corrected images (probably using ANTs). The plan is to extract regional and whole brain volumes for these T1-weighted images.


Regards
Patrick

I agree with Matt. We do multiple stages of bias correection to flatten
things out as much as possible. Can you give us an idea of what you are
trying to achieve?
