Hi

 

I did autorecon1 on T1 structural brain images acquired by GE magnet. However, a small piece of skull with dura 

still remained on brainmask.mgz (around the occiput), even after adjustment of watershed threshold to 10. (Some brain would loss 

when threshold was lowered to 7 or 5). I wondered if I can use the brush to erase these pieces then click Save Volume

from the File menu before continuing autorecon2 and autorecon 3? Do I have to do this?

 

If I can use the brush to edit brainmask.mgz, do you recommend that instead of watershed adjustment because it is more intuitive and

I don't have to find the optimal threshold value of watershed. Is there any difference between their effects?

 

Thanks for your time and patience answering these.

 

Best,
