Hi Jing, I'm reposting to the group in case someone else has any suggestions. I've answered some of your questions below
1) all of our outputs are "conformed" meaning that they are resampled to 1mm3 256^3. To convert back to native anatomical space search for "native" on our wiki.
2) Don't know
3) Don't know

Hi Douglas,
Thanks a lot for your reply!!! I am doing brain tumor segmentation with voxel-based classification. We have images from all difference scanners. To have good performance in the training stage, I need to normalize the intensity into the same range... And after segmentation, I need to compare the ground truth and the automated results. I don't have a choice here...:(

Jing, why are you running these commands by hand instead of just running recon-all? These are very complicated steps and don't lend themselves to running by hand.

Hi,
I have a problem with using mri_normalize for intensity normalization for T1w+contrast 3D volumes.
What I ran: mri_convert t1.hdr t1.mgz mri_normalize -g 1 t1.mgz t1_norm.mgz mri_convert t1_norm.mgz t1_norm.hdr
(1) The first problem is that all volumes are 256*256*256 as output. Why are there dummy slices? Is there an automatic way to get rid of the dummy slices?
(2) For 1/3 of the 50 cases, I observed a spatial shift for some voxels. I was wondering whether this comes from the spatial registration, but it is wierd coz the rest 2/3 of the cases are pretty OK visually. Anyone has similar experience before? That would be very helpful. Thanks.
(3) For 4 cases, the brain white matter was normalized to 59 instead of 110. I dunno why...
Thanks! I will really appreciate if anyone could help here!
Best, Jing
