Did you look at the raw data to make sure there were no artifacts?

Hi Bruce,
It doesn't look good; actually, I can't see anything when I load it in tkmedit.
If I re-run the alignment with mritotal as described in the manual (Final objective function value = 0.38553751), I do get an image, although it appears shrunken. Not sure what might cause this, or how to fix.

Hi,
I'm trying to segment some Siemens 3T images (200x200x256; 1mm3) and have encountered some problems at autorecon1 - the normalization seems to label some of the background as white matter. Needless to say, the skullstrip fails spectacularly. I've attached a snapshot of the T1 image showing the problem.Any ideas as to why this might occur?
I'm running recon-all version 1.104
Thanks,
Alex
