Hi Falk
we usually don't process the .5mm data directly. Instead we "conform" it to 1mm iso, recon it, then run mris_make_surfaces posthoc directly on the .5mm data to nudge the surfaces around to agree with it.
Parallelizing mris_fix_topology is certainly possible if only we had an extra engineer to work on it....
cheers Bruce

Hello all,
I'm processing some high resolution data with an isotropic resolution of 0.5mm and I was wondering if it would be possible to speed up mris_fix_topology somehow. Due to the increased number of vertices and also increased number of defects this stage takes incredibly long (e.g. lots of days).
It would be nice if the defects are handled separately of each other to parallize the process. Maybe by first estimating and specifying the number of defects. Then by being able to run multiple instances of mris_fix_topology for the same subjects correcting one or a range of defects each.
