Hi Bruce,
shall I do that with my original T1 as input or the T1.mgz?
Thank you.

I think you can just run recon-all -s <subject> -skullstrip and it will run it for you as it normally does

Dear all,
from this:
(...) Removes the skull from mri/T1.mgz and stores the result in mri/brainmask.auto.mgz and mri/brainmask.mgz. Runs the mri_watershed program. If the strip fails, users can specify seed points (-wsseed) or change the threshold (-wsthresh, -wsmore, -wsless). The -autorecon1 stage ends here.
i guess the function I need is mri_watershed. Now the question is: does recon-all add optional flagged arguments to this function while running recon-all? and which of them?
Thank you.

Please pardon me for jumping in here. I looks like recon-all -autorecon1 will do it, yes?

oh, sure, you can just run that part of recon-all. You don't need to
rerun
the whole thing cheers Bruce On Wed, 16 Oct 2019, Inglese, Marianna wrote:

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

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

Thank you Bruce. I thought it was something similar to the FSL bet function, which extracts the brain using a fractional intensity threshold (0.5 for
example).
So I guess I won't be able to replicate the same exact skull stripping of freesurfer's recon-all.

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

To whom it may concern,
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,
