External Email - Use Caution
Thank you Bruce. I thought it was something similar to the FSL bet function, which extracts the brain using a fractional intensity threshold (0.5 for example). So I guess I won't be able to replicate the same exact skull stripping of freesurfer's recon-all.

Hi Marianna
the skull stripping is a hybrid procedure that uses both a watershed algorithm and a deformable surface. There is no single intensity threshold in it. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question? There are parameters you can change (for example the preflooding height), but there is no intensity thresholding

External Email - Use CautionTo whom it may concern,
I am using recon-all to segment many T1s. As I can see, one of the automatic step performed by recon-all is the skull stripping. Would it be possible to know the threshold used for the stripping? I guess it is the same threshold everytime. I would like to apply the skull stripping only on other T1s and need to get the same result.
Thank you very much for the help.
Yours faithfully,
