Re: [Freesurfer] flash v.s. mprage

Hi Greg

I would probably say the reverse. In general mprage is optimal for CNR/unit time in terms of gray/white contrast. Flash has some advantage for e.g. distinguishing pallidum from putamen, but you would need to modify our recon stream to take advantage of them cheers Bruce

looking at the docs available it seems that in general flash is prefered but it seems that for cortical thickness studies you may still favor the mprage ? all with good parameter setting of course.

thanks in advance for any clarifying comments you may have
