Hello Bruce,
Thanks for the response. I previously mentioned the parameters in the earlier discussion for the same topic and you have suggested to decrease the TE and increase the voxelsize to 1.2mm for better SNR. For the recollection I am again mentioning the complete parameters here-
The parameter in the sequence are TE=4.92 ms, TR=19 ms, Flip angle =20 degrees, voxel size 1x1x1, receiving coil is the 12 channel
head coil and the transmitting coil is the body coil and GRAPPA of 2. We are using Freesurfer version 5.3.
I am including all the recon result files for one case for your review.

Hello Bruce,
Thanks a lot for your earlier expert option suggestion in improving the segmentation during the recon process. I am attaching a snap shot where yellow is with expert options and red is with default options. My concern is where I have indicated with blue arrows . Could you please suggest why is it still failing to pick up those areas. Is it because of
a) misregistration with the atlas (i) if so where can I find the results after the non linear registration and (ii) would it be possible to improve with any more expert options during the registration and the segmentation subsequently.
b) or is it should be just changing the lower limit values for the WM and higher limit values for the GM. I am not sure which way to tune the values should I go low on WM values and go high on GM values. These are the actual values
mri_segment -wlo 87.7 -ghi 103.3 mris_make_surfaces -min_gray_at_white_border 79.4 -max_border_white 109.3 -min_border_white 90 -max_csf 68.7 -max_gray 98.7 -max_gray_at_csf_border 84.7 -min_gray_at_csf_border 58.1
For example Should these be changed to
mri_segment -wlo 80 -ghi 110
Thanks for your help in advance.

Sorry, Actually just found out that the receiving coil is the 12 channel head coil and the transmitting coil is the body coil. I am attaching a snapshot showing the sag orientation of the three cases that I previously mentioned and uploaded for your review.
From these figures do you really think there is not enough contrast, just wondering
- why it worked in the bottom image and it failed in the upper two
(T1_sag_comparison.jpg) 2) it failed in the left image and did good in the right image (T1_sag_comparison_2.jpg).
We have similar data in 25 of the subjects. Is there a way to salvage the existing data and improve our results we will certainly follow your input in changing the existing protocol and collect some data and run the analysis to see if it improves the results.
One more thought is if is there any other way around to increase the contrast by taking help from T2 image and run recon-all. Do you think it will help?
Thanks for you help .

what was the transmit coil? I think I would either reduce the voxel sizes a bit or not use grappa. Probably go to 1.2 mm or so, which would be a 70% increase in SNR. That won't help the transmit bias field though if you have one. The 8 channel can also sometimes be a problem. The 32 channel coils work much better

Hello all,
We have run recon -all on some healthy control subjects T1 images
but we found out that the gray-white segmentation on half our subjects is
bad and it leads to increased white matter volumes and decreased gray
matter volumes. I have included a snap shot showing the difference in
segmentation from bad to good for 3 cases

=20 degrees. and use a snapshot one slice to show the good CNR. We are using

thanks, I had forgotten. Is this 1.5T? I'm a bit concerned about the lack of contrast in addition to the noise. I guess decreasing the TE will help this, but you might also try a larger flip. 30 frequently gives us better T1 CNR than 20 (although it's further from the Ernst angle, and hence noiser). Can you pilot a few scans and quantify CNR in various parts of the brain?

Is it because ofa) misregistration with the atlas (i) if so where can I find the results after the non linear registration and (ii) would it be possible to improve with any more expert options during the registration and the segmentation subsequently.
b) or is it should be just changing the lower limit values for the WM and higher limit values for the GM. I am not sure which way to tune the values should I go low on WM values and go high on GM values. These are the actual values
mri_segment -wlo 87.7 -ghi 103.3 mris_make_surfaces -min_gray_at_white_border 79.4 -max_border_white 109.3 -min_border_white 90 -max_csf 68.7 -max_gray 98.7 -max_gray_at_csf_border 84.7 -min_gray_at_csf_border 58.1
For example Should these be changed to
mri_segment -wlo 80 -ghi 110
Thanks for your help in advance.

Sorry, Actually just found out that the receiving coil is the 12 channel head coil and the transmitting coil is the body coil. I am attaching a snapshot showing the sag orientation of the three cases that I previously mentioned and uploaded for your review.
From these figures do you really think there is not enough contrast, just wondering
- why it worked in the bottom image and it failed in the upper two (T1_sag_comparison.jpg)
- it failed in the left image and did good in the right image (T1_sag_comparison_2.jpg).
We have similar data in 25 of the subjects. Is there a way to salvage the existing data and improve our results we will certainly follow your input in changing the existing protocol and collect some data and run the analysis to see if it improves the results.
One more thought is if is there any other way around to increase the contrast by taking help from T2 image and run recon-all. Do you think it will help?
Thanks for you help .

what was the transmit coil? I think I would either reduce the voxel sizes a bit or not use grappa. Probably go to 1.2 mm or so, which would be a 70% increase in SNR. That won't help the transmit bias field though if you have one. The 8 channel can also sometimes be a problem. The 32 channel coils work much better

Hello all,
We have run recon -all on some healthy control subjects T1 images but we found out that the
gray-white segmentation on half our subjects is
bad and it leads to increased white matter volumes and decreased gray matter volumes. I have included
a snap shot showing the difference in

Hey Bruce,
Following up with the question can I find any documentation to improve the segmentation like what are the parameters that needs to be tweaked. Can we use any seed points to classify and improve the segmentation? How to decide the thresholds in choosing the parameters to improve the segmentation?

Hi Tilak
I think you need to improve your data if that is an option. I couldn't see the gray/white boundary in either occipital or perirolandic cortex, so no parameters are going to help there
