External Email - Use Caution
Dear FS experts,
I want to upload neuroimaging data pre-processed by FreeSurfer's recon-all pipeline to a consortium server, and they require all data to be anonymized.
I found mri_deface [1] and wondered which files I would have to apply it to, and whether there are any other things I should be aware of.
So far, my plan is to use mri_deface to replace, for each subject, the following files in mri/:
* orig.mgz * orig_nu.mgz * T1.mgz * rawavg.mgz
It would also be an option to upload only a subset of all the files produced by FreeSurfer, but I do not know which files to exclude and include, so if you have suggestions for this, it would also be very welcome. I will also look at some public datasets to see how they did it.
