1. It is not contrast enhanced.

2. I am rerunning recon-all after giving it a manually skull stripped image. Hopefully this will work.

So basically did this:

recon-all -subjid . -autorecon1 -noskullstrip -notal-check
cp T1.mgz brainmask.auto.mgz
ln -s brainmask.auto.mgz brainmask.mgz
recon-all -subjid . -autorecon2 -autorecon3

thanks. I actually meant a tksurfer image, but this might do. Two questions:

1. Is this a contrast-enhanced acquisition? That will make things more difficult, although we have processed them in the past.

2. I think the skull stripping removed some brain tissue, which may be the source of your large defects. Can you please check it and get back to us? This also might be due to the contrast enhancement.

cheers

                                          I was thinking, I had created a skull stripped image, and was giving that
            as
                              input to recon-all in the
                                          command below:
