Hi Mike,

I think mris_ms_surface_CNR lets you use multiple input volumes and computes the Mahalanobis distance, while mri_cnr does the same thing but for each volume independently. I think they both have options for doing linear fitting across the boundary and looking at the slope. Sorry, they are tools we tossed together that aren't well documented.

cheers Bruce

Hello, What is the difference between the mris_ms_surface_CNR and mri_cnr functions? (I couldn't find any descriptive info for either). And are either of them useful for identifying datasets with "poor" gray/white/csf contrast?

thanks, -MH
