Hi Ali

We had similar problems with our 7T T1-weighted images because although the SNR is higher than in common T1-weighted sequences at 3T, the CNR is lower than at 3T. We were able to run the whole FS processing but the resulting surface models are not really convincing.

Regards
Juergen

Dear FreeSurfer Experts,

I was trying to run freesurfer on one of my MPRAGEs that was acquired on 7T scanner with isotropic resolution of 0.5mm. I have got two different errors below. Could you please suggest something for me?
