sorry for being dense - but what then would be the best way to acheive better wm intensity?
We get much better contrasts and better segmentation in fronto-temporal regions when we run mri_nu_correct.mni.  But then we still need to fix topological errors.  My understanding is that '-make all' fixes or finishes up an incomplete recon, will it incorporate control points or white matter edits (we're running 4.5 so it should work)?
 
Alternatively - Is there a way to add the contrast correction as a flag during autorecon-all from the start? (seems the most logical)

thanks

Hi Ilana

that won't work. I guess you could try copying nu2.mgz to nu.mgz and
trying -make all (assuming you have a new enough version of recon-all)

cheers
