Dear all expert,

Hello, I have been trying to solve this WM/GM boundary error. 
The data I attached here have a lots of problems, especially WM/GM boundary was not detected in temporal areas.
Using mri_cnr function, I calculated the gray/white CNR of the norm.mgz.

---------------------------------
norm.mgz

white = 97.3+-10.3, gray = 77.3+-14.8, csf = 55.6+-19.5
gray/white CNR = 1.222, gray/csf CNR = 0.790
lh CNR = 1.006

white = 97.0+-11.2, gray = 76.9+-15.1, csf = 55.9+-19.3
gray/white CNR = 1.139, gray/csf CNR = 0.737
rh CNR = 0.938
total CNR = 0.972
----------------------------------

1. Does the low CNR affect the bad tissue segmentation results?
How can I solve the problem? 
Is there a way to improve the low CNR value?

2. How can I delete the continuous areas, indicated by red arrow  (axial, 134)?


I use freesurfer-Darwin-leopard-i686-stable-pub-v5.1.0.


Thank you for any comments or replies in advance.


Best,
