Hello, 

I am beginning a new study and would like to determine the optimal T2 acquisition parameters for improved pial surface results from FreeSurfer. I am wondering if there is a difference in using a T2 or T2-FLAIR. I have found a discussion post from 2014 which provided useful information (https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2014-July/039580.html), however, it seems from reading the post that newer developments were underway, and I was wondering if I could get an updated answer to the question:

is there any difference from freesurfer's perspective of using T2-space or T2-space-flair?

Thank you for your help!

Michelle
