What kind of scan is that? It looks like the skull is very bright, which will cause watershed to fail

Hi,

 

While running the recon_all, I bumped into this error message below and failed to create a brainmask.

I could not attach the T1.mgz and log file because the file were too big.

 

When I looked through, the white matter intensity were only between 70-90. 

It is pretty much an entire white matter intensity that I think it may be difficult to manually add control points. 

 

What would be your suggestions? 

I have added screenshots of the freeview.

Mode:          T1 normalized volume
Mode:          Use the information of atlas (default parms, --help for details

The input file is T1.mgz
The output file is brainmask.auto.mgz

mri_watershed Error: 
Problem in the COG calculation:
T1.mgz may not contain properly normalized white-matter.
Confirm that T1.mgz has enough white-matter voxels of value 110.
If white-matter contains few if any voxels of value 110,
try adding wm control-points to nu.mgz, and re-run recon-all.
