I didn't do anything but run recon-all with the latest version. Remind me what version you were running? On Sat, 10 Oct 2009, Angel Wong wrote:
Hi Bruce
Thank you very much. The result looks much better than mine. How did you do that? Please let me know so that I can modify the other datasets if I face the same situation again.
Cheers Angel

Hi Angel,
I'm just about done running the dataset and the results actually look ok (see attached tif). I didn't intervene at all, although you would want to to get rid of some non-brain tissue that the pial surface is grabbing, but that's pretty easy. Did you minimize your TE? I don't know what your gradient set is, but usually you can get your TE down a bit more than that. You also might be better off sacrificing a bit of resolution and lengthening your TR cheers, Bruce

Thanks a lot with your help. This is because we want to perform quite a
number of functional runs on the same subject at the same session. So we tried to shorten the T1 scan time to minimize the motion artifacts come from the subject.
Attached please find the orig.mgz for your information.

I see. Your TR is quite short and your TE relatively long, so this is
probably pretty poor CNR between gray and white. If you send me the orig.mgz I'll take a look and see if it's fixable

Attached please find the parameters for acquiring the T1 image.
Thank you for your help.

eek, that looks pretty bad. Can you tell us what the acquisition
parameters are?
