Hi FS expert,
When I run recon-all -autorecon1 -subjid <subjid>, the Talaitach transform failed. Please see the attached log file. Is there a way to correct the error? Thanks!
Best Regards, Yi

Hi Yi
yes, brainmask.mgz is the skull stripped image.
And no, n3 is pretty gentle so I would think letting our normal intensity normalization run would be fine (and better than not doing it)

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the help! Is the skull-stripped image in Brainmask.mgz?
Another question: since my raw image has gone through B1 correction and N3 normalization, will you suggest I omit the nu and normalize step in -autorecon1?
Best Regards, Yi

Hi Yi
autorecon1 should do the skull stripping, so there is no need for the separate mri_mask call. The threshold of '5' is so to preserve edits in which voxels are turned 'off' (they are set to 1 I believe, but we reserve 2-4 as additional 'off' values).
The masking will not transform the voxel coordinates of the image
cheers Bruce

Dear FS experts,
I would like to strip skulls from unregistered images which have gone through GradWarp, B1-correction, N3 normalization and phantom-based scaling. I run the following two commands in freeSurfer:
recon-all -autorecon1 -subjid <subjid>
mri_mask -T 5 T1.mgz brainmask.mgz T1.final.mgz
My questions are
1) Currently I use 5 as threshold (-T 5). Is there a guidance for the setting of this parameter?
2) In the output file T1.final.mgz, is the skull-stripped image represented in ijk space (image index space) or in XYZ space (via transformation matrix)?
3) If the skull-stripped image is represented in XYZ space, how do I get it in ijk space?
Thanks in advance for the help!
