It's tough to make out much from the snapshots, if you upload the entire subject dir to our ftp site I'll take a look Cheers Bruce

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your answers. There is gray-white contrast in the temporal lobe, but same as you said that the gray-csf is low. Attached is a screenshot. let's me know if you need more information.

hi Xiaomin,
it is tough to say what might be causing the problem since a lot can go wrong in the anterior temporal lobes at 7T. you say that your contrast is low there? it is possible to have OK gray-white contrast but low overall signal levels (so poor gray-CSF contrast) due to dielectric effects as bruce mentioned, which can make the MP2RAGE ratio images noisy in that region. also some adiabatic inversion pulses break down around the temporal poles due to the B0 inhomogeneity around the ear canals. if you could send a screenshot we'd have a better chance at diagnosing the problem.

Hi Xiaomin
it's really hard to say without seeing more detail in your images. Do you have contrast in the temporal lobe? Frequently it goes away at 7T due to dielectric effects. I'll cc Jon Polimeni who is our 7T (among other things!) expert.
cheers Bruce

Hi Bruce, I have done the recon-all (fs5.3) with the data collected from a 7T scanner using MP2Rage. The recon went well without problem. But the the temporal reconstruction looks clearly not correct (see attached). I tried to push the pial surface outside by editing the white matter evidenced in the attached figures, but has no effect to genera correct pial surface. I do realize that the contrast is low in the anterior temporal lobes. However, I am wondering if there are expert parameters I can use to push the pial surface into the right place. If that isn't a option, can I use some other images collected during the MP2rage scan to help the segmentation in the anterior temporal lobe? Those extract scans are: inv1_nd, inv1_phs_nd, , t1, inv2_nd, invs_phas_nd,
thanks very much.
