did you run recon-all -all all the way through? you should name your echoes something different like echo1.mgz, echo2.mgz... then specify -dura echo%d.mgz 4

it's entirely possible I'm specifying the wrong mgz? After running recon-all on the RMS the usual directories were created, etc... including 001.mgz which is in s_MEMPRAGE/mri/orig.

We have been using the MEMPRAGE RMS scans and discarding the multiecho scans. If we instead specify the multiecho scans for recon-all, do we need to give any additional parameters (e.g. the number of echoes) for it to utilize the 4 echoes to detect dura and refine pial surfaces in mris_make_surfaces, as described below? Or would we have to run recon-all with the RMS, then after it finishes re-run mris_make_surfaces manually with the -dura flag to refine the pial surface? Also, I'd like to make sure we are using dcmunpack properly. We take the scan.info file and parse it like this: "-run [MEMPRAGE_4e_p2_1mm_iso run number] 3danat mgz 001.mgz" so the multi echo scan gets put into one mgz file, and the RMS gets put into a separate mgz file.

Also, should the fact that after running mris_make_surfaces, it says "detecting dura using 0 echos from memprage_echo%d.mgz" be worrisome? I've got 4 different echos, all mgzs in the directory.
