Hello,

I have tried fixing the image using the topical defects page. However, because it uses recon-edit the affected area does not seem to be recognized as white matter. Is it okay to do free editing for the same results, or is there something else that I should try for implementation?
Thank you for the help,

Nicholas Goh
